Many women of all ages are dying their hair, but one thing that women worry about when adding these sometimes-harmful chemicals to their hair is whether or not the hair dye will cause hair loss. When getting your hair dyed, it is important to consult with a trained cosmetologist to determine the types of hair treatment that is safe for your hair. While hair dye doesn’t affect hair growth, it may cause hair loss by damaging hair that has been color treated.
What Causes the Hair Loss?
The first thing that affects the color-treated hair is the brushing and combing of the dye through the hair. These vigorous movements can cause the hair to loosen, making hair shedding more apparent. Also, the ingredients in the hair dye may have a negative effect on a person’s hair. Hair dyes contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide which loosen the hair which can cause hair shedding. However, the biggest risk of hair loss comes from lightening the hair from its original color. These hair lighteners contain more hydrogen peroxide to lift the color of your hair to be able to replace it with the blonde color. This color change can cause breakage all the way up to the scalp, causing spot baldness that is not permanent, but it can take some time to grow the hair back. If you have noticed hair loss or hair thinning, try using the Keranique Hair Regrowth Treatment, which is specifically formulated for women with thinning hair looking for long-term solutions.
