Does using professional hair dye make one's hair thin out over the years?

Similar questions: professional hair dye make one's thin years.

Not yet So, I think 40 years is a pretty good test. My hair has always just been average thickness...nothing special...and hasn't changed from all the years of coloring it.

I have heard a lot of back and forth on this but I trust thesite. Org I linked to above. Personally, I have heard a lot of back and forth and differing opinions on the hair dye/ hair thining or even hair lost question.

Some say you do, and some say you don't. I trust thesite. Org though for a lot of other stuff I used it for, and they always seem to have good reliable info.

I linked to the segment pretaining to your questions above, but here it is in sum:AnswerThere is some evidence to suggest that bleaching and relaxing products can damage the hair - in some cases this may lead to hair loss or thinning of the hair. But not all hair dyes contain such strong chemicals and should not worsen the problem of thinning hair or be a cause of hair falling out. Every individual is different and people's hair will react differently to different products.

Hope this helps! Sources: thesite.org/healthandwellbeing/askthesit... .

It can make your hair effectively thinner, but not actually destroy it. Most thinning hair is genetic, but other factors, including hair dyes and permanent wave chemicals, can cause perceived thinning because damage to the hair causes the hair strands to be more prone to breakage. Also, a person can develop allergies or sensitivities to the chemicals used in the dye, causing itchy or red scalp, rashes, and hair loss that eventually clears up once dye is no longer used.So hair dye alone doesn't cause permament hair loss, but constant use can make it seem so.

---------------------------------------------According to the FDA:The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is rooted in a genetic predisposition. Called androgenic alopecia, it is known as male-pattern baldness in men and female-pattern hair loss in women (alopecia is the scientific term for baldness). According to the American Hair Loss Council, genetics accounts for 95 percent of all cases of hair loss in this country.

While male- and female-pattern baldness results in permanent hair loss, other factors can cause temporary loss of hair. For instance, the drop in the level of estrogen at the end of pregnancy can cause a woman's hair to shed more readily. Two or three months after a woman stops taking birth control pills, she may experience the same effect, since birth control pills produce hormone changes that mimic pregnancy.

A major physical stress, such as surgery, or a major emotional stress--positive or negative--can cause hair loss. The list of causes of temporary hair loss goes on: pressure on the scalp from wigs or hairdos that pull too tightly can cause it. A fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit or more often causes hair loss six weeks to three months later.

And some medications can cause a temporary loss. These include vitamin A derivatives such as Accutane, cough medicines with iodides, anti-ulcer drugs, some antibiotics, beta blockers, antidepressants and amphetamines, anti-arthritis drugs, blood thinners, some cholesterol-lowering agents, aspirin taken over long periods, some thyroid medications, and chemotherapy. Every time you shampoo, blow dry, perm, straighten or dye your hair, you damage it slightly Bertolino.

For the most part, hair can withstand this type of treatment. But overzealous beautifying can damage the hair fiber, resulting in many broken strands, and a frizzy, split-end look. For instance, if you bleach your hair and then have a bunch of perms done in a short time, you're heading for trouble.

Misuse of hair cosmetics can cause the hair to break as it comes out of the scalp, says Frances Storrs, M.D. , professor of dermatology at the Oregon Health Sciences University. Permanent wave solutions break the bonds that hold hair together and then reform them. But with a perm that is not diluted right or not rinsed off properly, for instance, those bonds may not re-form and the hair would soon fall out as a result.

Fortunately, most professional hair dressers know how to use perms correctly, says Storrs. Most hair dyes are not as irritating as permanent solutions, mostly because they do not break the bonds between hair fibers and are therefore not likely to cause a hair loss, she says. However, a severe allergic reaction to hair dye could cause hair loss.

"The allergy is pretty common, actually," says Storrs. Permanent solutions can also cause allergic reactions, though that's a rare side effect. Other beauty-related manipulations of the hair can cause problems, too: hot irons, corn rows and braids may bring on temporary or permanent hair loss.

If the hair breaks often enough, the follicles may eventually not be able to produce normal hair, says Bihova. "If someone has a problem with thinning and excessive loss, we advise being gentle," she says."Don't use rollers; don't use blow dryers on a hot setting; don't wear tight hair styles. " Rough shampooing may accelerate any loss, though it's usually not a problem in people with healthy hair.

Some hair loss is the result of a type of immune disorder known as alopecia areata--some 2.5 million people suffer from this condition in which antibodies attack the hair follicle, causing the hair to fall out. Alopecia areata often causes small, oval or circular areas of hair loss. However, in some forms of the condition, all the scalp hair falls out; in other forms, all body hair is lost.

Although the loss is usually temporary, the condition can recur. Treatments include topical steroids or the use of chemicals to produce an allergic reaction to start the hair growing again. Finally, chronic, systemic conditions--including one form of lupus, abnormal kidney and liver function, and hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism--can affect the hair.

If you're experiencing hair loss, see a doctor. He or she will want to order some basic blood tests to rule out any medical cause of the condition. Sources: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-817.html .

1 I just wanted to comment about a couple of products you might be interested in knowing about. Two Natural lines of hair coloring are Herbaceuticals and Tints of Nature. They are much kinder to the hair and the body.

They contain NO ammonia and NO resorcinol, which had been labeled a possible cancar causing agent. You can research that online. I have used these products for nearly ten years which amazing results, AND the highlights are incredible.

I work in a health food store and have gotten many many great comments on these products for years. I get compliments on my hair everyday. I use the reds in the 7R range and they look great.

Many commercial hair products contain nothing but chemicals usually, that over time will cause breakage and sometimes weaken the hair shaft or follicle. I used to L'oreal and it seared my head and lungs severly and the company didn't seem to care one bit when I brought this to their attention. So much for mutual loyalty.

A real eye opener. I hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
