Hair Changed After Semi-permannent Hair Dye

Posted by Anonymous

Hi, my hair dresser dyed my hair with a semi-permanenet hair dye and put me under the dryer for about 20 to 30 minutes and ever since my hair texture has changed drastically. My hair is normally curly but soft, and now it is hard with a texture that feels like thread and the strands themselves are like thick and thin at the same time. I tried plucking each strand out thinking it was in some state of shock and I was almost sure that new healthy hair would grow in ,but the hair is growing with the same hard texture, someone told me that my hair follicles might be clogged, I also noticed that the root where the hair blulb is, is very black. can you please let me know what kind of remedy I need to use to clean out the hair follicels/pores. Thanx.

Yes, there is a cure. The scalp has a long term scorching very similar to that of a mild burn. As a result the hair follicles become damaged.

You will solve this issue like it is a skin burn issue. Therefore use 10% lavender plus 90 aloe vera oil. Apply it once every 4-5 days. The scalp should heal. During between that time, wash with plain vinegar, or apple cider vinegar to dissolve any toxins caused by the dye.

Take vitamin C, sodium ascorbate 1000 mg. everyday for a month. Take gingko and bee pollen everyday to allow the rebuilding of tiny capillaries in the scalp. This might reverse some effect of mild long term scorch and chemical dyes.

Try to locate a soluble form of silica, either from foods rich with it such as horsetails, oat, and take them on an empty stomach. Or you can buy orthosilicic acid and take them regularly. Silica or silicon supplement will quickly aid hair growth. Take 200 mg.-250 mg of magnesium to allow the follicle and collagen development, and finally take some collagen supplements if you can. If you are low on budget, avoid scorching of scalp, and just use the lavender aloe vera oil, plus vinegar, should be more than enough. If you can't afford vitamin C just eat fresh whole oranges. Try to space out seeing the hair dresser 1/2 less often. This will allow time for the scalp to heal.
