How Our Hair Be Damaged

Although our scalp hair is hardy, and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied dyeing, bleaching and massage.

The amount of Chemical the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp can be allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen. To prevent this situation, the dye should be tested by applying it to a small area on the arm. If a patch of inflammation has developed, the dye must not be used on the hair.

Most people who bleach their hair have theirs done with hydrogen peroxide. If the peroxide is repeatedly applied, it may make the hair severely brittle. If this happens repeatedly, the hair may turn rough then develop split ends, or become thinned or shortened.
