Losing Hair From Overprocessing
Q : About 2 months ago I dyed my hair using permanent hair dye and I hated it. So I went over it with a semi-permanent. I really hated that too so I went and had the color removed. Not knowing what the process entailed I was under the impression that the color would just be removed not all of the color of my hair. So then they had to dye it again which defeated the purpose of trying to get my hair back to its natural state. A day after I had it done I realized a lot of my hair had fell out from it. I am worried that it will not grow back. I have a lot of hair missing along my part and in the front of my head (where my bangs are). I've always had fairly thick hair and know it looks thin especially in those areas. I just started taking hf37 and I use Redken extreme and CAT. Will I get my hair back? Help!
Answers :
"Hello. I am a licensed hair stylist...you will lose some hair due to damage and breakage. It will grow back, just slowly. you will notice the growth in a month or two. Normal hair growth is about 1/2 per month. It is taught to us in school that you never do more than two chemical services within a months time. You have done some major damage.....especially with the stripping. The cat will help though. You can also try the liquid hair by wella...along with Paul Mitchell's Hair Repair. I myself had a horrible experience with overprocessing when I first got into school and it was "cool" to change your hair color every week.....I was right where you are and the one thing that saved me was the CAT. But, you can also over use that too. If you use it too much your hair will revert back to its previously damaged condition. I worked for a gentleman that was a Redken platform artist and he informed me of that one. He said to use the treatment for 5 times. Then rest one week using a different product. Like the Hair repair or Keraphix by Nexxus. If you continue to see hair loss, seek the help of a nearby dermatologist to see if there is any permanent damage from the chemicals."
"To grow hair use prenatal vitamins. Do NOT use Hair Formula 37. BEWARE of the side effects of HF 37. The step 2 can and does cause gout!!!!! It
has too much protein for the body to handle. I used it and the doctor said it caused
my gout. ): Gout is a painful form of arthritis. "
"I am 23, and I think I have the same problems people you have, but I was advised to use onion two time a week. what you need to di is to spread it on your head and you will see that in 1 month your hairs are strong as it was before.
I am using it and it helps me alot."
"Been reading your comments since discovering this site and must say you know your stuff and it sounds like from raw experience.
Wanted to tell you of a haircolor I just discovered by Robert Craig. It is non-peroxide and non-ammonia yet it is permanant and healthy for your hair.
I've never heard anything like it. Go to just "haircolor" or "Robert Craig" and see what you think.
Like you I have come to the conclusion to leave hair alone if you can live with it after a major mistake. Went through the orange phase once at 20. Now at 42 realize diet and conditioning has alot to do with hair as well as being gentle with it.
This Robert C. stuff is safe to use over a botch job and even helps it by conditioning it. "
Hair Feels Really Rough
I'm really sick of my problem hair. It's rough, wiry but not brittle and has no split ends. I don't know if they're dry. I've tried moisturising conditioners with limited success. Can anybody advise?
Answers :
"I would personally suggest trying a recommended deep conditioner once a week. For optimum resuslts wash hair as normal, put on the conditioner wrap with cling film or put on a shower cap, then wrap in a towell and leave for twenty minutes, then rinse. Also have you tried leave in conditioners?"
"I hear you! i have naturally fine, curly, puffy, and dry hair. I still havent found a miracle.
first, split ends will never stick back together, cut them OFF before they climb up
second, for deep conditioning combine(i know its gross)combination of egg yolks, a bit of honey, olive oil (or any other oil).
Keep it on for 1 hr or as long as you want, then wash it off. "
"After years or tears from unruly hair, here's what I've found that works. Not perfectly but why not try.It's more the HOW than the WHAT.
Use the gentlest shampoo or just dilute your favorite.Pretreat with your favorite moisterizer. Wash with DISTILLED water,especially after relaxing, perming and coloring. Add a tiny bit of vinegar to the last rinse.Then add conditioner again.Leave it in. Wipe or rinse off the excess. Then (gently)warm comb it. That will get off dead ends. "
