Can hair dye make you go bald?

No. It cannot. Hair can break off, but it will grow back.

Perito, but wouldn't dying your hair too much cause hair loss? That's what I've heard.

Contrary to what you've apparently heard, hair dye does not (and cannot) affect hair loss. It does not touch the root, itself and therefore cannot increase hair loss. The only circumstance that I can conceive of where it might cause hair loss is if someone burned her/his scalp very badly using hair bleach and the scarring damaged the hair follicles. However, I think that most people would run screaming from the room (and wash everything from their hair) if this occurred. :eek:

What actually happens, and it happens more often than many would like, is that people overbleach their hair. The damage to the hair accumulates (hair has no blood supply and cannot be healed or heal itself). Eventually, the protein backbone of the fails and the hair breaks off. It usually breaks off right at the scalp or just above it. Thus, there's a temporary hair loss. But, like I said, it grows back.

Ideally, hair would be colored or bleached to the desired shade once. After that, the roots are touched up, but overlap is minimized. But, some people think they can dye it every other week or so. They also think that if they let it "rest", that they can dye it again later. People get away with it for a while, but it eventually catches up with them and their hair breaks.
