Can I dye my brows now chemo is done?
Hi ladies,
Anyone know what the score is on tinting eyebrows after chemo? I finished taxol three weeks ago and have some brows back... but you can't see them they're so fair! It's a shame as my head of hair is going great guns!
Is there a reason why prople avoid hair dye after chemo?
Thanks as always!
Thanks for the advice
Do you know why they advise to stay away from chemical dyes?
Cheers!
I'm presuming they don't want chemical poison going into your system
Hi
Here is a link explaining the guidelines on dying hair after chemo.

Hi bettersoon, if you are up to it you could get yourself into one of the Dept Stores in Dublin eg Arnotts and ask for a makeover (they are usually free else it might cost ya but you can use the charge against something you buy). The makeup lady could give you advice on how to apply makeup on the lack of brows.
I remember the head on my hair growing back on taxol but towards the end of the taxol my brows and lashes fell out. Go figure!!! I'd say there were missing for all of a month.
Hopefully they will be back before you know it.

You should be out if chemo at least 6 months before you can use a chemical dye. You can use vegetable dyes. If I were you I'd get a good eye pencil , there are great ones out there. I used an isa Dora one it was great.
