well, i heard that it does because of all of the chemicals in dye. but, there is a natural dye called henna, that doesn't have any chemicals and is ammonia free. if you really want to dye your hair, i recommend that you use a henna dye instead of a regular one. hope i helped=)

Well, it's hard to define "mess up," but I understand what you mean. Dyeing your hair, whether bleaching (whole head or highlights with foils or cap) or using different dyes, changes the "DNA" of your hair. The dye compounds saturate into deeper layers of the hair shaft and alter the melanin within it. With this in mind, it's important to protect and moisturize before and after coloring. When coloring at home, prep your hair by using a deep conditioner the day before. The day of, do not shampoo, and work with dry hair. Use a formula that is noted for its conditioning qualities (many advertise that they utilize oils). You may even want to use a semi-permanent color to start for less commitment. If using permanent color, which is noted on the box, don't try anything too drastic. If you are unhappy with the results, it will be harder to fix. Keep this in mind: tint does not lift tint, meaning that the only way to "lift" dark color out is usually to use a potentially damaging product. Also, for maintenance, you should use a color conditioner and/or a "depositing shampoo" which can protect and brighten your color between touch-ups. This is especially important for red tones.
You could always alleviate any questions by seeing a professional colorist, where they can not only answer your questions but take the necessary steps to avoid your concern. Just a thought. :-)

It depends. If you have thin, European hair and you are planning to dye it, it may dry up your hair. Also, if your hair is blond and you haven't done any deep conditioning, no color lighter than medium-brown will stay. You might have trouble keeping your hair moisturized. If you have thick, middle-eastern hair, there will probably be no or little harm.
However, I don't recommend a lot of bleaching because it can extremely dry out your hair and can cause permanent damage and give it a bad texture.

Yes, frequent dyeing can often make hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Due to such it can make hair thinner and less healthy.
However, dying it once won't destroy it. It may make it a little dry, but if you use extra good conditioner, and take good care of your color treated hair, it should bounce right back to normal.
The things in dye that cause the bad effects are alcohol, ammnonia, and generally nasty chemicals.
If you do end up dyeing, get a formula that has no ammonia and is known as gentle.Hope that helps!

It will not mess up your hair if you get it done at the salon (home is okay too, but don't recommend), Use the right shampoos/ conditioner that are especially made for color treated hair, and don't curl/ straighten your hair too often since this will make your hair really dry.

I don't think it will. It depends on what kind of die you use. Is your hair damaged, split ends or needs a hair cut? I would go to the hairdresser first and ask. Don't go to dark. I would start a little dark and work my way up. The hairdresser could always do it for you.

get a hair dye with a multi tonal in it or you might need to save up and get the colour stripped are you using a dye you normally use? different dyes have different effects You could also try a semi permanent colour, and if that takes, put a permanent on top All the best xxx

It won't hurt your hair in any way. You just need to get the right stuff and dye it. Have someone do it for you at first and then try it yourself. I do my own hair and it is fun.

Yes over time it does. Anytime you are taking your hair through a chemical process you damage it. (This applies to perms, relaxers, highlights, bleaching etc too)
