Is dying your hair darker damaging to your hair?

Answer 1

Dying hair can be different for everyone, depending on how strong your hair is, for example: if you've dyed/bleached your hair before it will be a lot weaker compared to someone who hasn't.

Using any type of dye or bleach will always damage your hair a bit. Semi-permanent/ demi-permant hair dyes are a lot less damaging but have the down-side that they don't last as long.

If you are going to dramatically change your hair colour by using bleach it will be a lot less damaging if you do it in stages.

If you are worried about your hair getting too damaged then there are plenty of ways to restore its health:

- Don't wash your hair every day, leave it for a few days after you dye it so the natural oils repair the dry and damaged hair

- Use heat protection when using heat

- Deep condition your hair (I reccomend using Aussie 3 minute miracle)

If you're still worried about dying your hair you can use a rinse or stain as these don't contain any harsh chemicals that will damage your hair, the only downside to these is that they last a few days ( rinse). In the UK you can buy rinses from stores like superdrug, you can buy stains online or in some stores, the main type of stain is probably manic panic.

I hoped this helped :)

Yes, it could possibley make your hair fall out. If you do dye your hair you would have too keep dying it over and over again so you have more chances of your hair falling out and you would also have to keep dying it over and over again so your roots are the same color as the rest of your hair.

Answer 3

yes surely hair dye may harm your hair to a very great extend if you go on using them on a regular basis.If your dying your hair occasionally then it fine or else it would be better you do not dye your hair taking the risk of losing them. If the hair is over dyed it will get damaged and it will just break off but this mostly occurs from over prelightening it (bleaching). Therefore it is important to use a conditioning treatment every so often. It repairs the hair and it will help keep it in good condition so that it doesn't break off.

It mainly depends on the quality of dye you're using. Using a good brand that is ammonia free or a natural dye may not be very damaging to your hair. But the effects might not show up instantly rather, after a couple of weeks, depending on how an individual applies the dye or coloring on their hair. The effects of dye on the hair also depend on other factors such the nature of the skin of an individual and the quality of the coloring products used.

In cases where the dye used in the hair is of poor quality it often results in adverse effects. Low quality dyes interfere with the growth of hair by making the hair follicles weak leading to poor quality of hair.

Additionally, ammonia and peroxide present in most of the coloring and dye substances have the capacity to penetrate into the hair shaft. As a result, the hair will lose moisture making it dry thus low-quality hair. Over bleaching of the hair means that there will be excess chemicals in the hair, causing the hair shafts to break.

Some of the chemicals that people use in the treatment of their hair have a substance that is known as paraphenylenediamine (PPD). PPD has a high chance of making an individual experience severe allergic reactions. For instance, the most common allergic reaction due to hair coloring includes swelling of the scalp, growth of more dandruff or even itching of the scalp. It can even cause skin reaction, burning sensations and even redness

Various researches have indicated that paraphenylenediamine (PPD) can affect the DNA of an individual. The change in the DNA composition is the root cause of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, some cancers have been closely linked to the presence of PPD.

Despite this fact, the dye manufacturers always fail to put the information about the presence of such chemicals on the product. So its always important to carefully choose the right product, one that will suite your hair type without damaging it.
