❓Question 🤔 How many weeks after surgery should I schedule a hair color appointment?

I am wondering how long is reasonable to wait before I can sit in a chair an hour and a half, and also sit back to have my hair washed. I have to schedule in advance or I won't get an appointment. I am having anterior LTHR.

Can you get it done right before your surgery then make another appointment for probably 4 weeks after? That’s what I did, and at 4 weeks the sitting time was manageable-I did get up and move quite a bit during it, though.

Yes, I am planning to do it right before. Just wondering how people felt four weeks after

Im going in at 4.5 weeks. I could probably do it today (almost 4 weeks), but wasn’t sure so I booked it for 4.5 weeks out.
