Hello! Well, my hair will never come back so I can't dye it. I lost it in the year 1975. I can't afford pills, cream, shot's or anything else can use. So I wouldn't know what to tell you. Would like you as a friend though.

If you want to dye it I suggest foil highlights the dye doesn't touch your scalp and will be less burn on your scalp like regular hair dye does.

Hey -
I asked my doctor about this -- she said "of course you can dye your hair, the problem is all internal." I was a bit nervous at first but it's now been about two years since I started coloring my hair and it has not made any difference with the pattern of my AA at all. :) I'll even dye those white whispy hairs sometimes to help the bald spots look more filled in- and I never had a reaction to that either. Have you ever dyed your hair? If not, maybe do a little area for allergy test before you do it all to be sure you don't have any problems.
