Hair loss due to hair dye is a common fear among people that are dying or consider dyeing their hair. So, if you\u2019ve wondered \u201cCan hair dye cause hair loss?\u201d we\u2019re sorry to say but your worry is not unfounded.<\/p>\n
Hair dyes can, indeed, cause hair loss<\/a>, although not necessarily in the way you might think. There are quite a few misconceptions surrounding the way hair dye works and how it might damage one\u2019s hair. So, how about we shed some light on this topic?<\/p>\n Indeed it can. Like any other strong chemical product you might choose to apply to your hair, hair dye can tire, malnourish, and even break your hair. All of these things can lead to an overall loss of hair, especially if you\u2019re using strong dyes, if you\u2019re using them too frequently, or if you\u2019re not doing a good enough job nourishing, moisturizing, and protecting your hair and scalp.<\/p>\n However, that doesn\u2019t really mean that dyeing your hair is wrong or that you will experience hair loss if you dye your hair. While the answer to the \u201cDoes hair dye cause hair loss?\u201d question is yes, hair dye doesn\u2019t actually inhibit hair growth in any way. The hair beneath the scalp remains unaffected by the hair dye as it\u2019s only applied to the hair that\u2019s above the surface. This means that as long as you are not damaging your scalp and hair in any other way, you\u2019ll always have healthy new hair growing through your scalp no matter what or how you dye your hair with.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, hair can\u2019t grow at an infinite rate, so if you\u2019re damaging, breaking, and shedding your hair at a faster rate than it can grow at, you\u2019ll have a net hair loss, so to speak.<\/p>\n There are several different ways in which frequent hair dye application can torment and damage your hair over time. How applicable each of them is will depend on the individual hair dye in question, as different hair dyes include different components, are applied over different stretches of time and are generally applied in different manners. However, more or less, each hair dye will damage your hair in any of these ways at least a little bit. So, let\u2019s go over them one by one:<\/p>\n All this isn\u2019t to say that you shouldn\u2019t use hair dyes with hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, or that you shouldn\u2019t lighten your hair \u2013 you can very well do that. However, you need to know what this process entails and what it does to your hair so that you can do it properly and take the necessary precautions in the form of adequate hair care along the way.<\/p>\n Together, these three factors contribute quite significantly to the overall weakening and breaking of hairs. It\u2019s the disruption of the protein backbone of the individual hairs that causes their physical weakening and eventual breaking and leads to shedding. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep your hair well-nourished and moisturized at all times, especially if you\u2019re using hair dyes.<\/p>\n Of those three factors, the presence of hydrogen peroxide in most hair dyes is by far the most significant problem for our hair. The process of removing eumelanin from the hair for which the peroxide is employed is just too disruptive for our hair. It\u2019s similar to hair bleaching which is what\u2019s usually done to darken the hair when you want to get it ready for dyeing \u2013 it\u2019s an even more intrusive and damaging process than just using a hair dye, but the underlying principle is the same as hydrogen peroxide is used in both cases.<\/p>\n As we mentioned, while hair dyes have a weakening and damaging effect on our hair, as long as you use a good hair dye and you use it intelligently, it won\u2019t spell the end of your hair\u2019s good health. There are several key things to remember here:<\/p>\n Hair loss due to hair dye is a common fear among people that are dying or consider dyeing their hair.
