Question

i dye my hair black i do it at home with the do it yourself kind and i wanted to know if dyeing the hair has any negative effect on the scalp later on such as permanent scalp damage or hair loss and also can dyeing hair cause bald spots later on in life? and also i was just wondering if dyeing your hair lighter than its natural color damages your hair more than dyeing it darker than your natural color for example if you have medium brown hair would it hurt your hair more to dye it blond then dyeing it black? and also how often should i get my roots touched up so that it doesnt hurt my scalp?

Answer 1

You will not have any permanent scalp or follicular problems from hair color. If not done right, you can damage your hair but it's nothing the ole' shears and some time won't cure!
Yes, going lighter is more damaging to the hair than going darker. When going lighter the color needs a more alkaline pH to assist in the removal of natural melanin. This in itself is what damages the hair. When doing the "kitchen cosmo" act with your hair and you're going darker stick with a "Demi Permanent" color. It's job is to simply deposit color. The difference between "Demi Permanent" and "Permanent" hair color is that the demi colors do not have the capacity to remove natural melanin. Since you're only going darker that's all you need! Make sure you are using professional shampoos and conditioners designed for color treated hair as these will save the integrity of your hair and keep it from fading. \
Your schedule for touch ups really is an individual decision. But if you don't deviate from your natural level by more than 2 levels lighter or darker you can go longer between touch ups.
