Hair colors are the most commonly used hair
styling products that help us making a style statement. No wonder, the
hairstyle speaks for itself when highlighted with these vibrant shades. But
everything comes with a price and so does a hair dye. Some hair colors can lead
to a tremendous hair breakage and damage, leading to a reduction in density
thereof.
Following
are the reasons why hair-dyes can lead to a drop in your hair-volume,
explaining alongside as to what hair-care products need
to be chosen as a remedy.
Exploitation of Hair Shafts While Dyeing
While
dyeing your hair permanently, your scalp and tresses go through a continuous
stroking. At first, the dyeing materials are rubbed then the extra dye is
removed by rinsing your hair with water. Later, a conditioner is applied and
rinsed thereafter. This process removes telogen from hair, lessening the hair volume.
Chemical Penetration Causes Hair Damage
Chemicals
are used to get the colors on your tresses. The tresses that you see above the
skin are dead already and therefore they cannot be damaged when colored. The
damaging results come when the chemicals penetrate beneath the scalp and
disrupts the hair bulb – a part that plays an important role in hair growth and
loss.
Hydrogen Peroxide Weakens the Hair Shaft
Hydrogen
Peroxide functions to make the cuticular scale swell for letting the dye reach
the hair shaft, as the swelling creates an opening. In order for the production
of artificial color to take place, hair shaft experiences a process of
oxidation or reduction. For closing these ports, conditioner is used to reverse
this swelling. However, the hair shaft stays permeable and leads to further
protein loss.
It is not Hair Loss but Hair Breakage
The
hair dyes do not reduce the density by way of hair loss. Rather they damage
your hair and cause breakage that further results in a declining hair volume.
Hair breakage causes thinning and alteration of your hair.
Therefore,
hair breakage being the ultimate result of hair dyeing and cause of
deteriorating volume, one needs to fight it. There are some herbal
conditioners that do not contain any
chemicals and let you have naturally shinier and healthier hair.
