Losing Hair By Dying It

It was more of a scare tactic than anything, because at the time I was dying my hair about every month, sometimes twice because the hair-dye for whatever reason didn’t get it all the first time.  I was going through different colors, sometimes sticking to the same color for a few months at a time, and I was really damaging my hair.  My dad first went on the crusade of you’re not allowed to dye your hair.  That doesn’t work with a 12 year old let alone a 14 years old that I was.  So he gave up on that one after a few tries and moved onto the scare tactic, which was actually quite effective. 

One day he brought up a fact actually, but still.  His best friend at the time had a kid of his own who was doing the same thing I was doing.  Except in her case, apparently my hair was more resilient, because after just a few months of doing this, her hair had actually started to fall out in clumps, at which time she of course stopped.  My hair was fried.  But at some point, it would’ve had the same problem.  So this I bring up in the interest of things.  Depending on the fragility of your hair in general, just remember not to dye it too often.  Definitely don’t go twice in one month, wait a month or two in between, etc.
