For the most part, hair loss for those of you who routinely color your hair with permanent hair color is generally from breakage, not actual permanent loss. (But it is possible if you make repeated drastic bleaching attacks where you place bleach on the scalp and not just on the hair.)
Hair dye doesn't cause permanent hair loss, though it can cause temporary hair loss and thinning due to breakage along the shaft of the hair. If you get this on your baby hairs along the hair line, it will look like a receding hair line, but this would be temporary.
Yes, it is possible to completely recover from hair dye/bleach damage, as long as the scalp has not been burned, scarred or damaged in any way. Best wishes to all.
Bleaching the hair can cause chemical burns that may result in the loss of hair but the hair loss should not be permanent and usually will grow back. However, it may take a while for the hair to grow back. PRP would be a good option in the mean time to stimulate hair growth.
Dyeing thinning hair is generally safe, but it's crucial to be cautious. Opt for gentle, ammonia-free dyes and consider seeking advice from a professional colorist to minimize damage and achieve the desired results. Be mindful of any potential scalp sensitivity or allergic reactions.
Remember, it's not the end if you have color-treated hair. You can make a comeback from color-treated damage if you incorporate protein, water-based products, deep conditioning, and steam treatments into your natural hair routine.
Without treatment, hair loss may remain the same or worsen. With treatment, it's possible to see some regrowth in 6 weeks. However, it takes months for full regrowth. After hair regrows, it's possible to have more episodes of hair loss.
Scarring alopecia can occur if you burn your scalp when heat styling, bleaching or using straightening agents. Chemical reactions can scar your scalp — sometimes permanently destroying your follicles — if the injury is of sufficient depth. Luckily though, this type of scarring alopecia is uncommon.
After you've dyed or highlighted your hair, you may notice more hair “loss”. Why? Hair dyeing weakens the hair. Permanent and semi permanent hair coloring products contain peroxide and ammonia.
Unfortunately, hair Color damages your hair. When you dye your hair it lifts the cuticle, altering the hair in a way that will never completely revert back to it's natural virgin state. However, the hair that grows from your scalp will grow out normally so only the hair that has been dyed is affected.
Dyeing can also be bad for hair that is already thinning, as it is already in a weakened state. The good news is that hair loss due to hair dye can grow back with specific treatments, but it will take time.
Effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. You might be able to reverse hair loss, or at least slow it. With some conditions, such as patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), hair may regrow without treatment within a year. Treatments for hair loss include medications and surgery.
It's typical to lose some hair every day as part of your hair's usual growth cycle. For most people, the lost hair grows back, and you maintain a full head of hair. But illness, hormonal changes, stress, aging and inherited conditions can interfere with your hair's growth cycle.
No Visible Pattern. With stress-related shedding, hair falls out evenly all over your scalp instead of in a defined pattern. You'll likely notice more hairs than usual coming out while shampooing, combing, or on your pillow, clothing, and bathroom floor.
Deep Condition Before and After your Colour Treatment
That will help to repair any damage, infuse the hair shaft with moisture and help seal the cuticle. Following a colour treatment, a deep conditioner will help replenish dyed hair. Treat your hair once a week for longer lasting colour and healthier hair.
The reality is, the more often you color your hair, the greater the potential for hair shedding. Hair dye does not stop or even slow down hair growth, but it can cause hair loss by damaging the color-treated hair. The chemicals in hair dye can cause some of the damage.
Take a strand of hair, hold at both ends and pull gently. If it snaps, it's most likely damaged, but if you release it and it doesn't bounce back to its original shape, this is a sign of dryness. The cuticles might not be damaged, but the hair is lacking moisture to maintain its elasticity.
Hair dye cannot penetrate the scalp and reach the follicle where the hair grows. Therefore, hair dye cannot and does not cause hair loss, but it can precipitate hair breakage. Most people who dye their hair use permanent hair color because it lasts longer.
Go for Semi-permanent Hair Colouring
Semi-permanent hair colours are less damaging to hair because they are free of ammonia and peroxide. They do not have permanent effects and keep hair from loss.
