Hair Fall due to Hair Dyes

Today, hair coloring is hot, more and more men and women are coloring their hair. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of warnings and argument over the use of hair dyes.

Hair dyes containing the compounds 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine (4MMPD) or 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine sulfate (4MMPD sulfate), two coal- tar ingredients. Most Of the Hair Colors and Hair Dyes contain Ammonia,peroxide and other chemicals, which are harmful for hair.

A small percentage of hair dye is absorbed from the scalp and passed into the bloodstream where it can travel to other organs and tissues and can be trigger factor for cancer.

Hair Fall due to Shampoos

You shampoo and conditioner can also be the culprit of your hair fall.

Foamers and thickeners : Dr. SLS – the chemical that produces all that nice, bubbly lather – “strips hair of essential oils, breaks down protein essential for hair health, and halts growth. Sodium chloride (better known as table salt) is used as a thickener in products containing SLS, but it can cause dry, itchy scalp and encourage hair loss.

Preservatives : Formaldehyde and parabens such as methylparaben and propylparaben are often included to prolong shelf life. The latter can affect hormonal balance and encourage hair loss.

Irritants : Ingredients that cause scalp inflammation and allergic reactions can exacerbate hair loss and make thin hair dry, brittle and lifeless.

Alcohol : Almost all hair-care products contain some form of alcohol. Used in high concentrations, it dehydrates your hair.

Greasers : Greasers weigh down thin hair, preventing natural oils from being absorbed.”

Hair Fall due to Water

If you have already burnt your pocket on expensive hair treatments, yet your hair fall is persistent then identifying the problem becomes very necessary. This could possibly be the water that you use to wash your hair. So, finding out the type of water you use to wash your hair is important as it could be the cause for hair fall and dryness. If the water you use is hard water or contains high amount of chlorine, then there are more chances of you facing hair fall.

Some of the types of water that harms your hair and scalp are:

1. Chlorine water : Chlorine is a chemical disinfectant and oxidiser which when added to water in right amount does not damage the hair. But, will definitely cause dryness to the hair if exposed to chlorine water on regular basis. For instance, swimming pools are bound to have chlorine in order to keep the pool water clean. Thus, it is advisable to wear head caps while swimming.

2. Hard water : Hard water contains high amount of magnesium, calcium, silica and high amount of dissolved minerals. It causes dryness, breakage and thinning of hair. Silica content in hard water also causes dandruff and chokes hair follicle resulting in hair fall.

3. Salt water : The moisture content present in our hair gets removed by salt water. It highly causes dryness and brittle hair which causes breakage. The drying effect of salt water is high in nature and causes permanent hair loss leading to balding.

4. Desalinated water : Desalinated water, majorly used in Far East Countries for drinking purpose is prepared by removing salt content from the sea water. However, it is considered to be bad for hair as it contains high amount of chlorine and sodium. Usage of this water causes the hair to become frizzy, brittle and dryness especially at the roots of your hair.

5. Rain water : Rain water though is considered good for hair wash in many parts of the world assuming it to have mystical benefits. It is also considered to be soft water but, still has flaws when comes to hair wash. Due to high air pollution, rain water leaves the hair frizzy and dry. Apart from that acid rain is also considered to be very harmful for your hair.

6. Surface water : Surface water is pumped from either a river or lake. Surface water contains less amount of minerals and are found to be exposed to the environment and pollution causing bacteria growth. Thus, chlorine and lime are added to curb bacteria. But, since both the chemicals have drying effects it causes major dryness and hair fall.

7. Ground water : Ground water is derived from rain water that passes through the layers of the earth and settles beneath the ground. High amount of minerals like iron and magnesium that are found in the soil can also be found in ground water. These minerals causes excessive dryness of hair and lack of luster.
