Hair Loss Due to Dying Your Hair
Every time you color your hair, you damage it to some extent. Sometimes, the damage is minimal, barely noticeable. Other times, the hair comes out in huge chunks. While you cannot completely avoid damage, you can minimize it.

Causes
-
Hair loss occurs for several reasons when you color your hair. If the color mixture is too strong or remains on the hair for too long, the hair can disintegrate. This is especially true when going lighter. Consecutive color treatments and too-frequent colorings can also cause hair loss.
Minimal
-
Minimal hair loss during coloring is usually nothing to worry about. You have minimal hair loss if you find a small amount of hair in the sink, but cannot tell where the hair came from on your head. This type of hair loss is overall and even. You will not see any bald spots or obvious breakage with this common type of hair loss.
-
Medium
-
Medium hair loss involves small, severely damaged sections of hair. In cases of medium hair loss, sections of hair may fall out, but the rest of the hair remains intact.
Severe
-
Severe damage involves huge chunks of missing hair, altered hair texture, and in some instances bald spots. When you touch the hair, it feels like cotton, and it disintegrates during styling.
Treatment
-
Treatment options range from conditioning treatments to complete removal of the damaged hair. You can reverse hair loss if you take the proper steps to correct it. Hair cuts, professional conditioning treatments, daily protein sprays and using the proper products at home will help reverse hair loss overtime.
