Hair Care: Dyes

      These days more and more girls are coloring their hair. Before getting work done on your hair, it is important to know all of the facts. So let's get started!
     First of all, not all hair dyes are permanent. Semi-permanent and demi-permanent dyes do exist and wash out eventually. Semi-permanent dyes last for about 10 shampoos, and demi-permanent dyes last for a little longer. These dyes can also be used to help gradually change back to your original hair color if you want. You can have your hair dyed at a salon or at home. If you decide to dye your hair at home, make sure that you read the box and do an allergy test. These tests are quick and easy and help you avoid a painful rash on your scalp. All you have to do is rub a little product inside your elbow or behind your ear. Wait for two days to make sure there is no irritation. Irritation can be caused by peroxide. Peroxide-free dyes are a good option if you show a reaction.
     Strong dyes and overuse can cause hair to become brittle, so make sure to follow the directions(if using at home) and avoid too many highlights or lightening, especially if you have very thin hair. Dyes don't cause hair loss or premature grays, so don't worry about that. Gray hair is hereditary. When using dyes, make sure to use special shampoos to preserve color for longer.
     Coloring your hair is a big decision and you should not do it without your parents consent if you are under 18 years old.
