I started this thread way back in September so I know exactly how you feel.  My doc also said NO and I decided to just live with it until I had the green light.  Buy new shoes, it will have the same effect on your psyche.

I don't know the names, but I believe there are root touch-up products available that are almost like mascara for the hair. That might be a good option for a visual "touchup" before a special occasion. You can just use it down the visible part line maybe and skip going anywhere near your incision, then it'll wash out. Just a thought. I have not used these so it's not a personal testimonial.  :)

It's this type of thing:

It may be just me, and perhaps I'm just overly protective - as my daughter likes to tell me  ;) - but I wouldn't put anything on your head without your doc's approval.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

My doctors, both of them, said NO WAY, JOSE!  So, as usual, you guys are right.  I'm goin' out and buy shoes!  That'll dazzle 'em.

Shoes....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shoes.  Yep, that'll dress you up.  I'm getting ready to go back to work in 12 days and I bought a pair of red patent leather peep-to pumps last night.  I'm usually very conservative and red shoes would be out of the question, but maybe this is a whole new me!

Happy shopping, Nancy!!  I find it very healing!!!

Plus a new purse is always nice too!         I now have a lt blue leather purse in honor of the latest 1 yr surgery anniv. a couple weeks ago.             Of course the fact it was on sale and I did have a Xmas gift card that I used for some of it did help.     LOL!
 Now you will have to find a red one, Kathy!                                        Cheryl R
