Most women like to change the style, cut and colour of their hair every now and again, with some opting for a new look more often than others. As long as you take the right advice about hair dyes and styles and aim to keep your hair healthy, you should have no problem.
However, in some cases, dying and styling hair can have negative effects. If you have an allergic reaction to a particular dye, bleach or hair lighteners, it can cause:
• Burning
• Itchiness
• Redness
• Facial swelling
• Trouble breathing
• Hair loss
If this happens to you, you need to see a doctor or head to the hospital immediately for treatment. If some of your hair falls out, it is likely to only be temporary so it should grow back in time.
Hair loss can also be caused by excessive application of hair dye, rather than an allergic reaction to it. If you colour your hair too often, it can make it brittle, thin and prone to breakage. This is also the case with other styling treatments such as perms, hair relaxers and other treatments which involve the use of chemicals.
