Does dye cause hair loss?

Before you spend thousands of rupees on expensive salon hair spas to fix hair fall, it is better to plan practically. A simple blood test for iron and vitamin D costs much less and will tell you if the hair fall is internal or just external damage from the dye.

I completely understand how stressful it is to see your hair thinning after using a dye, it used to make me feel so insecure. Mostly, it is just temporary damage and breakage rather than actual root loss. Try to use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and give your hair some time to heal.

These chemical dyes contain strong ammonia which makes the hair shafts weak and dry, leading to breakage. I always prefer using natural henna or indigo powder for my grey hair. However, if you are losing hair from the roots in large clumps, please see a dermatologist instead of trying home remedies.

I was just reading an article about this yesterday because I wanted to highlight my hair. It seems chemical dyes cause hair breakage because they damage the protein structure of the strand, but they don't usually cause actual hair loss from the scalp unless you have an allergic reaction.
