HELP! l’m going bald! I’ve been dyeing my hair for 16 years. In the beginning, I used to dye it once in three to four months. Lately, it’s once in six to eight weeks to cover my white hair roots. Recently, I noticed that my hair is thinning. I use professional hair colour products only. Phyically, I’m fit, eat a balanced diet and I jungle trek regularly. What must l do to stop losing hair? What product must l use to promote growth and retard hair fall? l have to colour my hair as l am working and the white hair just won’t do. – HL
According to Randall Wong, national education manager for L’Oreal Professionnel, there is no real scientific evidence to suggest that hair colouring contributes to hair fall. Hair dyeing is designed only to penetrate the hair structure and not the skin, therefore it should not affect the scalp.
