rod123 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi all,a question for the ladies, Merrill had her sah almost a year ago, and a month after the sah she had shunt fitted, because merrill suffers from excema there has'nt been a time untill this week that she has not had a minor infection somewhere in her head, well my question is that if you have a shunt fitted is there any problems involved with her having a colour put on her hair, does anyone colour their hair, and has anyone had problems with colouring their hair, Thanks Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi Rod, I don't have a shunt and was coiled, so I don't have any scar tissue. I haven't found colouring my hair to be a problem, but would imagine that it would be safer for Merrill to do a test strand with the colour, before doing the whole head. I'm presuming that you're talking about home hair dye? I found the following information from the Wessex Neuro website. http://www.suht.nhs.uk/OurServices/Nervoussystem/SAHSubArachnoidHaemorrhage/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.aspx When can I dye or perm my hair?As soon as any wound has healed it is o.k. for you to wash you hair, it is also safe to dye or perm your hair if you wish. If you have had surgery, you may find that your scalp is more sensitive, particularly to temperature fluctuations of hot or cold, therefore you should be more aware of water temperature when washing you hair. For the same reason you may find it more comfortable to wear a hat and protect your head in hot and cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Rod, I didnt even bother with the test, chances are my skin would react but my hair would be ok - I know weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul99 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 thanks for asking that rod and thank you for answering Karen the home wont do it because it is a drain on the staff as it takes so long to do it 30 mins here and 10 mins there lin used to color her hair every six weeks now its silver gray which i don't mind but i do know lin would do her nut because she did take pride in her appearance thanks for the answers and the question rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I agree with Paul and definitely a good, practical question to ask Rod! .... I used to be a "Saturday Girl" at a hairdressers, so have mainly always done my own hair. The only thing that I can't do now, is use a Hi-lighting cap, for blonde streaks, as I just find it too tight and it sends my head into spasms!

Janet Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi Rod I also have been getting my hair coloured regularly ever since the scar tissue healed. Hope the skin test doesn't cause Merrill any problems so she can have a colour put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I get Hi-lites put in but Nikki (hairdresser) dosnt use the cap, she just uses the end of the comb, she's great...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladii TeeTot Tanner Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I have a shunt and I have colored my hair but mines has been burning and hurting in the area where I have the shunt so I’m kind of nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I used to take a Piriton antihistamine tablet before having my hair coloured, but If burning and sore now i would not suggest getting your hair coloured until this has eased. Maybe ask your GP, good luck and take care xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
