once you get past the'its so short all it does is stick up' phase, and using product in in, time to get a trim and see your hairdresser to shape it into a style and discuss longer term goal so they can work with you to grow it out and change styles as it grows, help with leanirng how to blow dry and style it.
A reputable salon won't use colours with nasties. A few foils can really help add dimension.
Mine grew back silver white and made me looked so washed out, so i didn't last more then a couple months before i got some light brown colour added.
I see so many ladies at support gorup just leave it grow out for months and months,just grateful to have hair back, and it not styled and looks so messy.It doesn't grow back evenly or in a style, so a hairdresser is your best friend.
