Is coloring your hair or getting highlights dangerous when you have two Aneurysms?

I wanted to know if its ok to color my hair and get highlights to retouch my hair. I have not had the surgery yet, but I will undergo on the procedures next week and I want to do something so I can be relaxed. I don't think it will hurt the aneurism but I want to make sure, I'm worried and confused.I know this might sound silly but with the chemicals in hair coloring I just want to make sure that nothing would affect anything internally as far as blood pressure and the brain. If anybody has some helpful information about this please reply.

Comment by Myra on February 12, 2013 at 1:19pm: I'm with Colleen on this. I waited 6 months to highlight my hair. Until I had the ruptured aneurysm I was on a regular schedule to have highlights. My hair seemed thinner and was falling out. I started taking some b vitamins and using frustis fall shampoo. That seemed to help a lot. At the 6 mo mark I was I the chair and ready to go. I had the coiling procedure and they went thru the femoral artery. I also had a shunt installed so they had shaved the top of my head and there were some staples to deal with. Check w/ your dr.if in doubt. Wishing you the very best. * myra

Comment by Colleen on February 9, 2013 at 7:09pm: Hi and this is a good question...after my coiling I waited to have my hair cut and/or dyed for 6 months...it seemed that my hair at thinned from everything and truthfully, I wasn't ready for anyone to touch my head until 6 months...it is now 2 years...and I have my hair cut and dyed regularly...and good to go...~ wish you luck...~ Colleen

Comment by Ivellisse Franketti on February 9, 2013 at 8:59am: Thank You so much Dawn I will look into it

Comment by Kory Lesnick on February 9, 2013 at 8:59am: I have already had my surgery, actually 5 sugeries, and my neuro said I could color my hair 4 weeks after my last surgery. :) I was the happiest girl in the world!! As long as I went to someone that would be gentle around my scar. You should be fine but always check with your Dr. :)

Comment by Dawn on February 9, 2013 at 8:55am: I have read a lot and have seen they've had a lot of good results on the pipeline, its still pretty new though

Comment by Dawn on February 9, 2013 at 8:53am: I think they do the pipeline the same way the do the coiling. You should be fine to color your hair. . They go through the groin on both. I'm kind of new to all of this. You'll get better answers on the pipeline in the pipeline forum there's a lot on in in there.
