I have short spiky grey now - I have coloured for the last 30 years as I started to grey when I was very young. Everyone says "It looks great" "the colour is fab" but . . . I just don't know. It's easy not bothering with colour but I feel drab, that's all there is to it. I am having it cut and tidied next week and the hairdresser (she does the LGFB workshops so she really knows about it) says to wait until I see the style before I decide whether to have highlights or whatever. Trouble is I feel old enough and the hair just confirms it !
I have used home done colur and hairdresser colour in the past with no probs. But I agree with the test that Bel suggests - you never know what might have changed since chemo.
Good luck.
