Oh please tell me it's safe to color my hair...

[saralynn143]

Yes, it's a circle. My mom also has one but it is larger than mine. Now that she has more salt-and-pepper it is not as noticeable.

One of my gym buddies has a spot on the back of her head, like your son. I always thought mine wouldn't bother me nearly so much if it was in back where I couldn't see it.

I never knew there was a special name. That's very interesting.

In order to get rid of my grey hair I'd have to shave my head.  When I want to look young I wear tight pants and a baseball cap!!

Hey Wendy!
Happy to see you've rejoined the ranks of the artificially colored but genuinely happy.  Post a pic!

Hey Hey Marci,

My hair colour is made from ALL natural ingredients.  Nothing artifically about me!!!!!

I feel out of the loop when my fiends here start talking shoes  (I own three pair and they are plenty)...
shopping ...( I hate shopping ) ... and the dying and cutting of hair...( have yet to dye mine I get an
occasional trim ,wash it regularly and pull it back out of my face )...luckily the few gray that
come in my girls pull out  ... my friends are sure I am missing a few genes

but I see what a visit to Ms Clairol ,a run through the mall and a new pair of shoes do for most
of them  ,my mom and my sister ... so after doctors approval go for it ...

I have not yet had surgery for my AN. Initial appointment with NS last week. He advised at 1cm., no surgery. MRI every 6 months, if no growth, more MRIs...

My commments relate only to hair dyes etc. Personally, I am allergic to hair dyes and don't dye. (Streaks only)
My hairdresser has mentioned "milk" rinses seem to work for extreme scalp and post-operative issues. Ya never know, sometimes things that come from a natural source work the best. On the other hand..she could be full of it!!!!

Hope you all have a good day!

So do those of us with brown hair need to use chocolate milk?     I might be willing to try that!!

Soundy, don't feel too out of the loop - I used to be very into shoes until I moved to Virginia Beach.  Ever since then, I have a large collection of flip flops and that's about it!!  However, if I let my kids pull out my gray hairs, I wouldn't have anything left to color!!!

Lori -

let me know how the chocolate milk works 

Jan - getting grayer

[lori67]

I'm all out of chocolate milk mix - all I have is strawberry.  I guess that would make me a redhead?

Which reminds me, time for a run to the store for my regular surgery-eve hair coloring.  I really need it done now, but I'm making myself wait until the last minute - just in case it's a while before I can do it again!

Lori what surgery are you having? - sorry I am a bit out of the loop now I am back to work.

Michelle, I'd be out of the loop if I were surrounded by 5 year olds all day too!

I'm having the 7-12 nerve jump done.  Not a biggie, relatively speaking.  Of course, once one has had brain surgery, it seems like nothing is a big deal anymore!

[MAlegant]

Good luck Lori--I hope the surgery does the trick for you!  (When is it?  Is it on the AN calendar?)
Best,
Marci

Cheri~

NOW do it now!!  Well, at the last minute.  I forgot last time and had to deal with hair for a LONG time that needed desperately to be "spruced up!" LOL!!  It is the little things that mean the most...

Cheri,

I color it the night before!  It's become like a ritual now - the surgery eve hair coloring.  I know mine says not to wash it the next day, but I do anyway.  My husband thinks I'm crazy... but..well, maybe he's right, but as long as it makes me feel better, that's all that matters!   

Marci, my surgery is on Sept. 26.  I sure hope it does the trick too!!

Lori

[mimoore]

Lori that is great! Why did you choose the 7/12 instead of other nerve grafts? I know very little about them all.
One week tomorrow, I will be thinking of you all that day and sending my healing vibes your way. Sleep well and recovery quickly.
