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. "

That is good advice when that many chemicals have been used but if you have only colored the one time, left it on the only 15 mins, chances are you would be fine to recolor, just don't use a color stripper in between. Adding the conditioner to the color helps some to minimized some damage, they use to call it glossing. That new color sounds great.

Will a toner work???

Toner can help if it's the right color, less damage too.

Sounds like the color just might be a keeper then. I think I might try red myself soon, grey is really starting to show up!!

I color my hair once by my little self. Let me tell you I had an eggplant on my head...
I tried the whole going red look and I have no clue where I went wrong but all I know is that I cried until I could not cry no more. I was young and stupid then. I think I was around 15 when I did this.. My mom was horrified.. It took awhile but I got it out..

I also pissed my mom off when she got married. I had my hair dyed brown right before her wedding... I thought she was going to kill me.. Till this say she looks at her wedding pictures and still biatch at me about what I did...

Now as I am thinking back I dyed my hair red first and I thought I looked like Bozo. Then I had a bright idea of dying it black and that is when I got eggplant purple...


Was she blonde to begin with. I know going from one color to another color that is clearly on the other side of the color wheel can be dramatic..

She had medium brownish hair. I was afraid to even try coloring over the black, and the lady at the shop said thank God I didn't.

Use a regular shampoo to strip the color out.

Come to Pixie, I will help you. Is that why you called last night? We can do a demi and a treatment on your hair. It'll be fine.

Actually no, what's the name of that place you do that spray on tan thing??


Will that fry my hair? I just colored it 2 weeks ago also

I know to stay away from that ash crap, but I was in a hurry and on the phone and ...and.. and not paying any attention when I picked the color out

Beach Club Tanning.

Your hair is fairly thick and on the courser side, yes? We can use a demi with a mild developer. I did it on my baby fine hair right after it was bleached and toned because it was too strawberry. If I didn't fry my hair, it's not going to fry yours. Want me to meet you at Sally's at lunch?
