Some Reasons Why You Shouldn't Dye Your Hair
Dying your hair will thin your hair out. Do you want to have hair when you are older? Once you are starting to see hair loss you will wish that you would have left well enough alone. Your natural hair color is going to look the best. You cannot take black hair and dye it blonde without experiencing some side effects. I know that it's fun to dye your hair but avoid dying all of it. Always use treatments after you dye your hair. Can you imagine dying your hair, blow drying your hair and then curling your hair. After about one year your hair would be twice as thin, I know because I used to have thick hair.
I used to have really thick hair several years ago. Right before I was going to get my pictures taken I dyed my hair blonde. When I washed all the chemicals out and looked at my hair I could have cried. It seemed as if half of my hair was missing. When you have thick hair and then suddenly you have really thin hair this will make you stop dying your hair completely. I'm not sure that my hair will ever be as thick as it once was. My hair is slowly starting to thicken back out, years after not dying my hair.
If you want to keep your thick hair or let your hair thicken up you will want to avoid dying all of your hair. If you simply have to dye your hair try to highlight and lowlight your hair instead of dying the whole thing. This will be easier on your hair and if you decide you don't want to dye the hair anymore you can simply let the color fade back out of your hair. There are many different shades that you can highlight your hair. I would always suggest using a lot of conditioner the next week after dying your hair to moisturize the hair and work it back into shape.

This is going to sound insulting but your article made me want to dye my hair more. I have WAY to thick hair - so thick i cant do anything with it - and i hate being blonde so dyeing my hair will be a massive bonus - thx anyway...
I am sorry, but your grammar is absolutely atrocious and your sentence structure is terrible.
Maybe you just didn't dye your hair right, I've dyed mine twice and it's perfectly fine now.
As a hairstylist i have to say this is brinking on ridiculous. The only reason your hair "thinned out" right after bleaching it blonde is because it wasn't done properly and the chemicals broke off your hair. When done properly, and taken care of, your hair should not thin due to coloring.
I like that you're encouraging young girls not to dye their hair- that's exactly what I was looking for; reasons to convince my friend not to.
However, your title was misleading. It says, "Some Reasons..." when really all you did was repeat the same reason over and over again.
That's not a bad thing, it's just that your title misled me.
I've considered dying my hair before but i know i never will. My friend used to have beautiful, soft, chestnut waves. Just last year she dyed her hair a FEW SHADES darker and it has never been the same. It's a lot thinner, brittler (?), and in general unhealthy and gross looking. I recently visited my aunt, who is in her late 50's, and she has beautiful, undamaged, long, black hair that is very low matience. My other relatives her age have noticable roots, thin and short hair, caused by hair dye.
Vo5 hot oils treatment is awesome for condittioning hair. This is what i use for my hair because i'm 16i naturally have aftro type hair (bbut i was jelous of my mums lovely dark brown wavey locks lol ) and i've been chemically straighting it since i was nine. i don't have any bald patches and i own that amazing split ender thing. donno what your missing that machine does wanders to split ended hair :p.
Also, repair and protect is one of teh few shampoosthat actually seems to work. aussie too :). i did oil my hair with doctor miricals but it ran out buty itsgenrally people with naturally afro hair who benifit form this. yeah you guys probably know all this,just thought i'd add my say.
I ALWAYS FIND ARTICLES THAT TALK ABOUT HOW ITS SO AWSOME TO DYE HAIR< AND WHAT COLOUR I SHOULD DYE IT> YOUR ARTICLE STOOD OUT TO ME. I ACTUALLY NEVER DYED MY HAIR BEFORE, SO READING YOUR ARTICLE CONVINCED ME TO NEVER DO IT> THANKS AGAIN< YOU SAVED MY HAIR!! =)
I used to dye my hair for the lst 15 years and I have bee finding that my hair has been thinning and falling. I had ignored the Indian Henna based dyes thus far, thinking they were low tech, and been using the Clairol and such synthetic dyes.
This visit to India I observed that lots of people I know dye their hair and no one complained about thinning! As it turns out the Rs. 6 per packet (US $.60 per a packet of 6) of Black Rose Kali Mehendi does the trick. I am now a happy man! At 10 cents a pack, my hair is now black, not thinning and feels good. My wife tells me the dye is not running out with each wash and stays steady.
Dying your hair with permanent color is always harder on hair than using semi or demi-permanent dyes. Ammonia, peroxide and bleach are your hair's worst enemies, because they enter the hair shaft and dissolve or burn your hair's pigments before the artificial color cements itself to the hair-shaft beneath the protective scales. If you must dye your hair at all, use the kind that stays in your hair for about a month (demi). It washes out gradually, so you don't have crazy roots. And it may even bulk up thinner hair. But be warned, hair dryers, perms, curling irons, poor nutrition, stress and even rough toweling and brushing can thin your locks, too. Be nice to your hair!
