I just wouldn't dump of bunch of chemicals on perfectly healthy hair after getting through chemo. I think it is going gray in a good way. I would only maybe fill and shape the brows a bit with a taupe eyebrow powder or pencil. Maybe a bit of a soft blush for certain days if you looked washed out. On the rootline if you are going somewhere that you know is going to have a lot of photos taken (like a wedding or something) you can thicken the hairline by just adding some eyeshadow, or eyebrow powder to cut scalp sheen and blend in the greys at the rootline, since its mixed with a lot of brown still. It looks really natural and not fake. You don't need it everyday really, just for photos or fun.

Sometimes regrowth can come in white first and then go back to brown:
"When your new hair comes in, it may be different from your natural hair at first. This is due to the loss or change of pigment and may result in white, gray, or some color different than your natural hair color. As your body recovers and hair pigment rebounds, your hair may return to its original color, or a color close to your pre-chemo hair."

I think glasses with a tint of green would look nice on you. You know the kind of frames that are tortoise brown in the front and then the backside (against your face) has a slight tint of color that is really muted? Or even these:

I love glasses..lol..I would have a whole collection to play with color if I was feeling color crazy.

Or even something like this:

Thanks for all that info. As far as I know, I will be taking the chemotherapy drug for a while, on a weekly basis....

I think your hair looks fine just as it is. Don't color it, be yourself. You're an attractive woman.

I also think the eyeglasses are not the type that enhance your good looks. Rather, they don't seem to fit and work to lessen your natural attractiveness. Consider another pair. These type of plastic frames don't work for everyone. I believe others here have made some good suggestions, but the pair shouldn't be anything too radical IMO.

Thanks. I used to have smaller eye glasses and those are pretty new. Maybe the next time I will get something different, but no time soon because of the cost....

I think you win the award for rudest poster on C-D. Congratulations.
Maybe they will start a contest for that on CD! Kind of like the most informative one. LOLOL

I love the silver streak! Just enough for contrast, definitely leave it alone! I am quite a bit older than you and finally had to start coloring my hair again, because my hair was just looking faded - no contrast, not gray enough, not flattering. But yours is just right. And with chemo happening you just don't need another thing like that to be concerned with. Nothing more beautiful than natural shiny healthy hair!

You have gorgeous hair! I'm so jealous of how thick it is! I kind of like the few silver streaks! If you're happy with it, I would leave it alone especially if you're taking chemo drugs right now.
