Can highlighting hair cause hair loss?
Next month, I'm planning to get highlights. My friend warned me that chemical treatments can cause hair fall, and I already have thin hair, so I'm a bit concerned.

I don't know much about hair styles, but chemicals in highlights can damage hair. Generally, any hair fall should be monitored to see if it's due to stress or internal health issues like high BP or thyroid. Do get regular health checkups to make sure everything inside is fine.
These modern chemical colors are very harsh on the scalp, child. When we were young, we only used pure henna. If your hair is falling after coloring, gently massage a little warm coconut oil or amla oil on your scalp once a week, but don't rub too hard.
Highlighting chemicals can definitely cause hair breakage from the roots. Before spending thousands of rupees on expensive salon treatments or hair spa packages to fix it, I would suggest planning a budget for a basic blood test to check if you actually have some vitamin deficiency instead.
I got highlights done last year and noticed significant hair breakage because my hair became very dry. Personally, I found that deep conditioning masks helped reduce the damage. I can't speak for medical hair loss, but chemical treatments do make hair brittle.
Haha, yes! Those chemicals basically tell your hair follicles 'it's time to leave'. It is mostly just breakage from the chemical damage rather than actual permanent baldness, so don't worry, you won't go bald overnight. Just hold off on the bleach for a while!

I totally understand how heartbreaking it is to see your hair fall out after trying to look stylish. I tried curd masks, onion juice, and everything under the sun after my hair coloring damage. While mild home remedies soothe dryness, you must reduce heat styling and give your hair a long break from chemicals.
Please be very careful with chemical highlights. I had a severe allergic reaction on my scalp after getting hair color, which led to painful sores and massive hair thinning. If you are experiencing actual bald patches or scalp irritation, please see a dermatologist immediately.
