Hello, I'm new to the board. I found you from a posting on HairBoutique.
I lost all of my hair earlier this year due to chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer. I am an AA female, who previously relaxed and colored her hair.
My hair is coming back now, but it's coming back in with more gray than I had before (it's been a long rough year!). In about 4 more weeks, I think I will have enough hair to go scarfless, however, I do want to color.
Any suggestions on hair coloring? Please refresh my memory. If I start with Henna am I committed to it forever until I decide to cut it all off or let it grown out before I go to another type of coloring?
Do I have to stick with 'reds' to cover my gray? I was told before that I had to use some red to get complete coverage, but the beautician always over did it. I want a more natural look. I have light complexioned with yellow undertones in my skin.
As for relaxing, if I can go without this time around I certainly will. After chemo I'm told your hair comes back in very soft, which is what it is doing. Over time it will become less so, so i was told.
Thanks for any information.
