I color and style my hair all the time. My friend told me that the more I color my hair, the more likely I am to have hair loss. Is this true?

Answer:

There is no connection between hair coloring and hair loss. Since hair color is not absorbed into the scalp, it cannot reach hair follicles to damage them. However, you may be experiencing hair breakage and confusing this for hair loss. If this is the case, I would recommend only using only well-known hair coloring products or switching to a product with more natural ingredients to minimize hair breakage.
