Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 I have a question, probably mostly for you gals! *G* Since it looks like surgery is probably imminent, I am wondering . . . I'm guessing that if I need to have anything "chemical" done to my hair (perm, highlights), I need to do it before surgery. Since I will have those sutures, or staples, or whatever I wind up with, I assume that chemical treatments of my hair would be frowned upon for quite a while afterwards?? (Not to mention that it will be very delicate and sore back there?!) I need a perm, but can't really afford it right now, yet if I wait too long, it may not happen at all. I usually wait at least 6-8 months between perms (mine last that long, and I don't like to dry my hair out by overdoing it!) It hasn't been quite that long yet, but I don't want to be left in the lurch. My hairdresser is great, and pads the sink for me since it is so painful to rest my neck on that sink otherwise! Especially since I have lots of hair, and it weighs a ton with those rods and liquid in it!! (Owwwwww!) Even with the padding, I can count on a painful experience, sometimes for days afterwards! What have your docs told you about chemical processing in your hair after surgery? How long were you advised to wait?? Thanks so much!!
