It dries your hair out like crazy, and you have to keep dying it when your roots begin to grow out. The earlier you start, the more unhealthy it will be in the future. If you do dye it, condition your hair everyday to keep it moisturized and as healthy as possible.

I dye my hair, but I'm a lot older than you. The hair dye has lots of chemicals so your hair will get damaged. It'll no doubt get very dry and brittle. I do mine to color the gray.

well. I personally think hair dye isnt as bad as people say it is. But if you use it too much (get ur hair dyed every month) it can be dangerous.

It only damages your hair if you do it wrong. If you use permanant hair color this is more powerful than semi. If you leave it on longer than suggested this will cause unnecessary dryness. But if you do it right and use the right shampoos and conditioners your hair will look healthy.

My mother has been dying her hair for several years. She uses Loreal Color Spa, semi-perm, doesn't over blowdry her hair, uses Pantene and doesn't use hair spray gels or mouses. Her colored hair looks better and a lot healthier than my uncolored hair. Not to mention people these days are all about making their hair stay in one place by applying a pound of mouse to it and using shampoos recommended by their salon (which honestly never worked, I've tried and I've also worked in a salon), they over process, over dry, over work their hair and it looks like crap. You will have a small amount of dryness if you color it, this always happens, but you can prevent how dry it gets by taking care of it properly. Hair always grows out, the color doesn't stay on your head or in your roots so the dryness also grows out, it doesn't stay with you with age unless you have your head dipped in a bowl of amonia and peroxide your whole life. So you figure it out.

The most serious danger is an allergic reaction which could kill you.

Is hair dye really bad as people make it seem?

too much dyeing or dye too often will really dry your hair out and then it tends to thin out. You have the rest of your life to dye your hair. It will be gray soon enough. Leave your hair alone.

by the way, it also effects your hair differently if you're a teen. Hormones do strange things. you may not get the color you asked for. like orange instead of red or blond....at least wait until you're over the homronal teens. (if you are that young)

I've been coloring my hair for many years.....and it can be damaging if you don't take care of your hair. My hair is very fine. so by coloring it.....the hair seems to hold style better. But you must condition and get regular trims. If you decide to do it.....you should go to a professional first. They will give you a deep conditioning treatment and tell how to keep your hair healthy. Good Luck !!!

hair dye isnt that bad, ive died my hair many times and it didnt affect my hair condition at all, only the colors. but putting chemicals in ur hair is risky, not only dye. it just depends on ur hair type

People have been coloring their hair for many years. Trying to do it cheap will leave you unhappy with the result so I recommend only having this service done at a reputable salon. They will tell you how to keep your hair healthy. Go for it, you have many years ahead of you so enjoy some highlights or full colors. You could even try some semi permanents that will allow you to change more often.

My mother first let me dye my hair when I was 14. I was a natural platinum blonde and dyed it Auburn. I've been dyeing it Auburn ever since. I've dyed my hair now for 16 years. Once every 3 months. My hair is neither dry nor brittle. I have no split ends. It's all about the product you use and the after care. I personally use Garnier Nutrisse (it's has fruit extracts and leaves my hair soft and conditioned). You have to use a really good quality shampoo and condition for color treated hair. Again, I use Garnier products because they condition so well. Honestly, if you can't afford the follow-up care for your hair don't dye it. If you use the wrong coloring product and the wrong after-care your hair can become damaged.

The ONLY time my hair was damaged by colouring was at a salon. They use really intense chemicals and my hair was totally over-processed. I will never have my hair done in a salon again. Home colouring is easier, more convenient and just plain cheaper. I have thick hair that goes to the middle of my back and I was charged $85 to color my hair that one time. If you are afraid of not getting the colour evenly through your hair, have someone help you with it. I really, really, really, don't recommend a salon. It's overpriced and they just try to bully you into buy expensive after product. Who wants to pay $25 for a bottle of shampoo??

Is hair dye really bad as people make it seem?

no i dont think so. in september i dyed high lighted my hair twice and dyed it 3 times. as long as you condition well your hair will be fine. i also used hot oil treatment and got a redken hair treatment at a salon. that really helped. also get trims regularly for the split ends.
