How long can I keep dying my hair until it falls out?

best hair color 2012 fall image

Juliana Ma

I started dying my hair a dark red color two months ago (I get it done professionally) and so far all I got done was my entire hair (first time it was dyed) and the roots touched up. I use special shampoo to keep the color in longer so I won't have to dye it as much. I was wondering how long I can maintain this color until it starts damaging my hair? :( I really love it and take good care of it but I don't want anything bad to happen.

Answer
Done @ home, or @ the salon . . . .Chemicals THERE ARE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS, hair loss is just one of them. Hair is 'considered dead' so anything you do while it's growing, comes from how you take care of yourself. Anything outside of your hair, it's hair products that does very little benefits to your hair. - Wikipedia.

My sister had double mastectomy by age 35, both abuses chemicals on their hair. I had frequent migraines, the 1st one lasted 14 hours. Mom started giving me perms by 2nd grade, then I started abusing with chemicals again, in the 80's & 90's. My migraines no longer, I get a headache 1-2x a year or none.

How to permanently make naturally curly hair wavy?

Shae M

I hate my curly mixed hair. It makes me look very young and I think wavy hair would be a lot easier for me to take care of.

Answer
I do not recommend chemicals along with heat, hair's worst enemies.

One method to make it look fuller, add body, tame the curls, bouncier, thicker, SEXIER, softer & shinier hair is to set your hair with plastic curlers (not Velcro) after you towel dry, you'll end up with uniform balance of curls. Blow dry briefly while curling them in curlers. Take them out, and finger comb to style. When you're finished, use your fingers to shake your hair allowing it to fall naturally into place. Used by the best hair color models, and the fashion industry, like Victoria Secret Fashion Show Dec. 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012, America's Next Top Models, EXPRESS, Toddlers & Tiaras, Dance Moms, Dancing with the Stars, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, even used on Oprah's hair . . . . and continued to be used today where salons care about pampering your hair. When you see hair on TV a hair color commercial, they're not done by curling or straightening tools. Hair that shines like that and feels like hair, not hay, has to be done by the best hair tools available w/out damaging to the hair. When you take the curlers out, finger comb to style or lightly brush. Tousle the hair up. or shake your hair. You can use large, medium or small curlers, that depends on the length of your hair. Think of JLo's hair, she was voted as the Sexiest Woman by People magazine and Glamour's Woman of the Year 2011.
Better yet, watch Pretty Woman - Julia Roberts's hair in that movie! In the 90's, they didn't have many hair products or heating tools and they also styled her hair many ways!

Hair-straightening products are allowed to contain small concentrations of formaldehyde (0.2 percent). But several hair-straightening solutions have been found to contain well above the allowable limit. For example, one popular hair-straightening product that advertised itself as âformaldehyde-freeâ actually contained 6.8 percent to 11.8 percent formaldehyde.
Another example: Fourteen women, including two from North Texas and one from Houston, are suing Unilever, the maker of a product they claim caused permanent damage to their hair.
"It transforms frizzy, unmanageable hair into hair that's sleeker and easier to style," said the commercial for the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion 30-Day Smoothing Kit, which is no longer being sold
When she began looking online for more information about the product, she said she found some people who said it worked, but more who said it damaged their hair.
She discovered a Facebook page devoted to angry consumers, and there are multiple postings on YouTube. I've been warning people about relaxers since 2009 and people are giving me thumbs down!
BTW: A variety of hair-straightening products used in professional salons can expose both hairdressers and their customers to formaldehyde. The results show that three professional hair-smoothing treatments labeled "formaldehyde free" can produce the cancer-causing chemical at concentrations above the occupational exposure limits set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They tested four products: Coppola Keratin Complex Blonde Formula, Global Keratin Juvexin Optimized Functional Keratin, La Brasiliana Escluso Keratin Treatment with Collagen, and Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution. While ChemRisk tested four popular brands of hair straighteners, THERE ARE HUNDREDS on the market. Nov. 11-11

By contrast, beauty salon owners and stylists generally lack a scientific background and don't have a keen awareness of the danger of working with products that contain formaldehyde, experts say.

How to style my naturally wavy hair?

best hair color 2012 fall image

Railey

My hair naturally wavy/curly and goes down to about my bra strap. But it always gets frizzy after It dries and I can't brush it or it will lose its waves/curls. I've tried just about everything I can think of to prevent this. I don't want to use a lot of products on it either.
After I put it in a wet ponytail it gets beautiful curls but when I take it down you can tell where my hair band was because its really poofy there and my hair loses the curls like a minute later.
Does anyone have any tips that will help me keep my waves/curls?

Answer
Your hair is envy from us stick straight haired girls! If you know how to care for your hair type, you won't have this problem. Melina Kanakaredes, Keri Russell are examples who has hair like yours and they've got beautiful wavy hair. Watch Deandre Brackensick on American Idol. Google them.
Shampoo. Condition. Towel dry, scrunch with gel like Samy, or hand lotion, blow-dry using a diffuser briefly, tousle the hair, finger comb, shake your head & you're good to go. Add a small dollop (size of a quarter) of gel to keep hair from frizzing. If you don't have a diffuser, use a blow heat dryer on low for 5 mins. Give it a final rinse with carbonated or sparkling water. Sparkling water reduces frizz because of its low pH level. This is a good treatment if you often let your curls air-dry because it will help to eliminate the frizz caused by humidity.
When you wake up, instead of shampooing again, keep a bottled water filled with water/conditioner and spray on your hair. Scrunch, finger comb and you're good to go! Google Haley Rinehart - American Idol she's got long beautiful curly hair! When my hair was permed in the 80's, my hair looked like hers. Look @ my hair now.

Wear a scarf on windy days to avoid frizz.

What should I use to hold my natural hair in place?

Raiyin

I have about shoulder length Black/Native American hair type, and I usually straighten it for school or anything. If I wanted to wash it and leave it out and curly what product should I use so it doesn't get frizzy? It usually becomes more curly and becomes like ear-level (shorter) unless I straighten it.. Would it work for that?

Is it relatively normal for teenagers to grow a strand of grey hair?

best hair color 2012 fall image

Miss Aweso

So 1 strand of my hair is half silver/grey and the other half is dark brown/black which is my normal hair colour. I'm 13 and a half. Some people say causes of premature greying are trauma and stress. I had knee dislocation 2 months ago when I fell hard, is it because of that? Have any of you or anyone you know had a strands of grey hair in their teens or early adulthood? What should I do to prevent it? I'm not allowed to colour my hair so any homemade natural remedies?

The little boy down the street from me was born with gray bangs, as he got older to his teens, they became the rest of the color on his hair. I thought his mom was dyeing his hair, but they weren't. Their child's health was otherwise good, and there wasn't any more graying next several years or decades to come. If a child suddenly starts graying like about 4, pediatrician can advise the parents whether blood tests or an evaluation by a dermatologist or other specialist might be helpful to determine a potential cause for the child's gray hair.

Anderson Cooper, Jay Leno & Steve Martin went grey early..
Initially, hair is white. The cells in our hair follicles called âMelanocytesâ generate pigments the main one being Melanin. This gives our hair its âColorâ.
In general, the more melanin present, the darker the hair color; the less melanin, the lighter the hair color.
When these Melanocytes stop producing the pigment the result is a transparent hair. The transparent hair against your healthier darker hair gives the appearance of Gray hair. In reality the hair is not Gray but transparent.
Harvard scientists propose that a failure of melanocyte stem cells (MSC) to maintain the production of melanocytes could cause the graying of hair.
So, although stress is associated with many medical problems, there is no evidence that it can cause a personâs hair to turn white overnight.

If i use semi permanent light ash brown dye over permanently dyed red hair will it cover it up?

jaqueline

I've been dying my hair red for about a year now the last time i dyed my hair i used a permanent color i really don't want red hair anymore and i know in order to take the red out i need to use an ash color so i bought kiss express color k82 light ash brown semi-permanent shiny & vivid hair color because it is close to my natural color which is what i want back my question is if u use this semi permanent will it cover up the red or should i bleech and tone my hair first and then use the semi permanent dye i bought and if so will it come out the light brown color i want or will it look lighter.

Answer
Adding one layer of hair dye on top of another (semi, demi, or permanent) it just takes longer to get to your natural color, or even if it cover up the old dye, but what was there before, stays there. The semi will wash off, the permanent still there, months from now. Think, it's like adding another coat of Crayola on top of another, on top of your white paper, it only GETS DARKER & DARKER, it doesn't work that way if you're trying to go lighter.
