Hair Loss/breakage From Semi-permanent Hair Dye? Posted: 06-23-06 01:30am
Hello,
i am a twenty one year old male and in
march of this year I dyed my hair using a
semi-permanent hair dye that was suppost
to wash out after 28 washes. The coloring
was fine and I had no irritation
whatsoever on my scalp. About two weeks
after dying my hair, I noticed hair
falling out at the root and breaking off
in the shower. It is now mid june and a
good portion of the hair dye is still in
my hair and I am still experiencing
consistent hair loss and breakage. I have
also noticed varying scalp irritation and
redness, although it is not a common
occurance. It seems to pop up at random.
I consulted a family physician who looked
at my scalp very quickly and said nothing
is wrong and suggested that it may be
hereditary. If this were any other type
of situation I may have agreed seeing as
how my father is bald. However, I have
never seen anyone with male pattern
baldness have such rapid hairloss coupled
in with the fact that I personally have
never experienced any type of hair loss
until I dyed my hair which leads me to
believe otherwise. Not to mention the
fact that the coloring is still very much
in my hair (even though it was suppost to
wash out after 28 washes--doesn't seem
semi-permanent to me). I have done a lot
of research on hair loss and am wondering
if there is any correlation to
semi-permanent hair dye causing hair loss
or throwing my hair into an increased
stage of telogen effluvium. What about
some type of scalp dermatitis or
psoriasis(sp?) any other information that
you can clue me in as it relates to sudden
hair loss or general suggestions would be
great as well. Thanks.

Some people's hair is too sensitive to
dying to be able to be dyed.
Even with semi-permanent hair dye.
Sometimes the dye'll stay with the hair a
bit longer.
I dyed my hair black last year and the
first few months of this year it looked
terrible.
I've let it wash out and now the areas
that looked thin have pretty much grown
back to what they were before I dyed it.
the hair near my sideburns is still
tainted with a bit of black and is still
pretty thin.
eventually the rest of the dye will come
out of your hair and it'll grow back
thicker.
