Millions of dollars are spent on an annual basis on
hair dyes and after-care products. But are hair dyes
safe for your hair? Do they contribute to hair loss.
This topic has been in debate for long and many
hair experts are still researching on this.
According to Dr. Judith Reichmann, a regular on
MSNBC there appears to be a link between hair dye
use and hair loss, but this hair loss is not
permanent. That’s a relief! So what should know
about hair dyes before you consider changing your
hair color?

3. Side Effects
Anytime you put a chemical into your hair there will
be a negative side effect. Bleaches, coloring agents
and other chemicals will cause the shaft to weaken
and break. As the chemical irritation cease the root
portion returns and your scalp returns to its normal
appearance. So you can expect to lose some hair
after you have colored it. The appearance of your
hair might be weak and for a short time there might
be increased hair all.

4. Misconceptions
After you have colored your hair, it might appear
thicker and fuller. This is a misconception because
the fizziness that appears after coloring is the real
reason behind the appearance of fullness. The dye
in your hair also attracts static electricity, which
increases fizziness. So, it is temporary and will go
after you have washed it twice and applied hair
conditioner.

5. Time Frame
You should always wait at least for six weeks before
undergoing another treatment. This will let your
scalp and roots recover from the previous
treatment. Consult your stylist to see if your hair
and scalp appear ready for another treatment. Even
if you trying dyeing your hair at home, always
consult a stylist to make sure you have done it
correctly and that you have not mistakenly
damaged your hair.

6. Considerations
Rest assured, dyeing does not cause permanent hair
loss, but some side effects may appear which may
result in some hair and itching of the scalp. Always
abstain from scratching your scalp if you experience
some irritation, in order to prevent scarring and
further damage to your hair. [LINK]
Warning
You might be allergic to the hair dye if you begin
losing hair right away. Most dyes have para-
phenylenediamine in them. Many people have
reported having an allergic reaction to this
chemical, which is why it is banned in hair dyes in
many European countries. Should you experience
itching, hair loss and or burning after 10 days from
first use, discard it right away and seek medical
attention.

7. Hair dyeing is a perfectly safe beauty treatment.
There are many products in the market today that
contain more natural ingredients that are a lot safer
for your hair. Look for the color, brand and
ingredients before you buy the hair dye.
