So I'm bald right now but my hair is starting to make an appearance and I'm actually close to finishing up chemo in 2 mo the if my tumor has shrunk down small enough to start radiation. well I've already bin scheming on what color I will dye my new virgin hair and I'm realy loving the whole silver blue steel look now my questions are how hard would it be to achieve on med dark brown hair and would it look good with skin tone which tends to pull more warm also how bad is the upkeep and would it even be a good idea for natural curly dry hair??

I personally think it would look good, but I'd probably have more of a silver tone than the blue ish tone. You'll have to bleach it and that could ruin your curl pattern, basically you may never be able to get the curls back. It may not be a great Idea. I think wait until you have a decent amount of hair to see what your hair is like now because after I did chemo and radiation my hair was completely different. In an awful way.  :/

I have the same question as you, I know that virgin hair is easier to dye but I'm not sure how much damage it can cause, even if it can be done in one visit. Following.

You would look so great with silver steal hair! If anyone could rock it it's you! But it's a pain to get! you will have to bleach quite a bit! But if your up to that then I say go for it :) Just invest in good nurturing hair products!

Also may I suggest a bright red! I think red you be so gorgeous with your skin tone! Even a darker burgundy red would look great!

If I'm not mistaken, hair regrowth can react a little unpredictably to chemical processing after chemotherapy. I would consult with a professional who has worked with others in similar situations just to make sure you end up with the results you want.

(Early) Congrats on completing chemo! Kick that tumor's ass!

I second what Emily said. My hairstylist was telling about Pureology, and how it was originally created for cancer patients or people on chemo. She said there are certain ingredients that chemo patients can't use, and that their hair has specific needs. Her mom is on long term chemo and has to be really particular about what she does to her hair. As for regrowing---I think it is different for every person. When my grandpa's hair grew back after chemo at first it was jet black baby hair! Then it fell out, grew back dark brown, then quickly turned grey. For like a week he had the dark hair he had in his twenties!
