Colouring hair is a great way to add some individuality to shorter styles but many people are very nervous about any possible damage to their new hair. This is very understandable as once you have experienced hair loss you are likely to want to ensure that you don’t do anything to prevent or delay the new hairs from growing.

With some good guidance and our expert tips you will see that colouring new hair growth can normally be an option available to you should you choose it.

When it comes to colouring new hair growth after cancer treatment there tends to be a lot of hearsay and common misunderstandings about hair colour and the possibility of damage to the new hair.

At Cancer Hair Care we recognise that other cancer charities and organisations give different opinions about when to colour new hair. Our specialist charity services mean that we are one of the few cancer charities within the UK with hands on experience of hair loss and new growth after chemotherapy treatment. As part of our hands on charity service we have coloured hundreds of heads of hair of new hair growth. We also offer guidance to hairdressers, cancer nurses and health care professionals so that they in turn can be better informed to advise people. This is because we have developed a huge wealth of knowledge and experience in this highly specialised area.
