Dyeing hair doesn't damage it at all, if anything it nourishes the hair. It's bleaching the hair that damages it. And I'm not bleaching it


HOW DYE AFFECTS YOUR HAIR

Hair dyes contain a cocktail of strong chemicals, so its no surprise that frequent use of them could damage hair.

Dyes can include chemicals like:

Ammonia
Hydrogen peroxide, and
Sensitizers like Paraphenylenediamine (PPDA)

Each of these chemicals may cause problems, from drying hair out, to leaving it brittle and prone to breakage.

They actually do this working as a team. Ammonia allows the dye to penetrate the shaft of your hair by swelling it and lifting hair cuticles, the protective plates that cover hair. Hydrogen peroxide destroys your hairs natural color, while also drying it out.

The chemicals also strip away hairs natural protective lipid layer, leaving it exposed to future damage and feeling rougher

Dyes used as color additives bring their own challenges. Sensitizers such as PPDA in particular are known as a common allergens.

Combined, these ingredients can be very damaging indeed, even causing hair loss due to breakage over time.

HOW DYE AFFECTS YOUR SCALP

Unfortunately, the damage doesnt stop at your hair. Frequent scalp exposure to the chemicals used in hair dyes can bring its own problems.

These chemicals can remove the protective lipids/oils from your scalp, leaving it exposed and vulnerable to damage from the environment, styling products and other irritants.

You may see these symptoms:

Stinging
Scalp itching due to skin irritation
Swollen patches
Red skin
