Getting hair highlights on folfox
I just started my Folfox treatment yesterday. After talking to the nurse, I'm considering going to my stylist in the next week to possibly dye my hair to remove my golden highlights, and add some ashen/ gray highlights to help with the massive gray regrowth I'm expecting if I don't dye my roots every 3 weeks. Then maybe I can tolerate the regrowth. Before, I was planning on just touching up my roots at home and hoping my hair doesn't fall out - using some product from the beuaty supply store. Advice? Do you think if I do this early in the treatment it won't affect my hair too much?

It seems to me that whatever you do to feel good about yourself will be good for your health.

I didn't lose hair on folfox. It was pre pandemic so I still went to the salon and got my roots done every 3 weeks. Maybe I dropped to every 4 so I could go on the week cold water didn't cause excruciating pain.
It thinned a bit on foxfire.
But lost it all on irinotecan with erbutix.
Pride goeth before a fall. That image was one week before I started the erbutix and irinotecan. But it was after about a year and a half on folfox.
When the lost my hair drug quit working, the ones I am trying let hair grow. Because of pandemic, and growing back is so slow, I use a brand called naturatint.
