My Hairdresser Used Peroxide, Then Hair Dye, Then I Relaxed My Hair — Now It’s Falling Out!

I’m a 19 year old female. I’ve wanted to change my hair color for quiet some time. I wanted to go blonde. When I went to my hairdresser, he told me the implications but I thought oh well let’s do it. I had to peroxide it…I didn’t like the end result so I immediately ordered him to change it…to light brown. I did and my hair was okay until 2 weeks later growth appeared really badly so I decided to relax.

Ever since then, my hair has been falling off. I do apply olive oil and coconut oils & have been treating it for only 3weeks now. I don’t know what to do and I’m afraid of cutting it all of. Is there no other way I can stop it from breaking & having it grow again? HELP

Hair coloring and chemicals, when used in excess or inappropriately, can cause hair loss. This can be temporary or permanent. If it is temporary, it could take 6-12 months for it to reverse. It all depends upon the degree of burn with the chemicals used. You will know within about one year.

It is a difficult and emotional process to go through and there is no easy answer to this.
