Can Doxycycline Be Taken Before Color Dyeing The Hair?

I am currently taking Doxycycline (100mg tablet twice a day) for 7 days for a sinus infection. I m on the 3rd day of tablets. I m supposed to go to hair salon today to dye my hair. I ve heard the antibiotics make the skin sensitive. Is it ok to colour hair with chemical dyes while on Doxycycline?
