SMP and coloring my hair?

September 23, 2016
Asked By:Greenhouze in San Francisco, CA

If I have SMP can I still dye my hair? Will the hair dye impact the integrity of of the scalp pigmentation? I would like to consider SMP to help with my thinning hair, and I plan on wearing it about an 1/2 in long, so I would not shave my head. However I would like to keep my gray hair in check with hair coloring. Is this a problem?
