Hi
Thanks for your query.

There is no relation between dyeing hair and relapse of throat cancer. She can safely XXXXXXX her hair.

There is no specific product to be recommended. Any of the good brands should be fine.

Thank you for your quick response. I forgot to mention that my sister also has a Psoriasis scalp prior to the throat cancer and still has this condition. Her dermatologist gave her a gel for her hair but does not do much for her. My follow-up question is that she always used this XXXXXXX L'Oreal superior preference. Is this a good brand for her or do I need to look for something else? My sister wants to XXXXXXX her hair and at the same time she gets anxious when there are different opinions of hair dying and cancer. She is scared to XXXXXXX her hair. We are waiting for your response and thank you for all your assistance.
