Patients with hair loss can usually also dye their hair, as dyeing does not fundamentally cause hair loss. The key to hair loss is abnormal hair follicles at the hair root, and during the dyeing process, the dye mainly acts on the surface of the hair, having minimal impact on the hair follicles.
However, there are two points to pay special attention to: first, some hair dyes may be harmful to the hair, especially those containing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, which can damage the protein structure in the hair and cause hair breakage. Even so, whether or not experiencing hair loss, this can happen to anyone—but there’s a silver lining, the good news is that the hair, once broken, can still grow back, so it’s not a huge concern.
The second point is that some rubbing and combing actions are hard to avoid during the dyeing process. If these actions are too forceful, they can easily cause hair that is already fragile and prone to falling out to be pulled out. When dyeing the hair, you might remind the stylist to be mindful of the force they use when combing.
Besides, some unhealthy habits in daily life may also accelerate the hair loss process. Understanding and improving these habits have a positive role in controlling and preventing hair loss.
