    You should not dye it anymore, dye does damage the hair follicle and since that seems to be your problem causing your hair loss, I would guess that once the dye is gone your hair will stop falling out. You may want to call a doctor though to rule out anything else that may be causing it.

    I would stop colouring my hair immediately. Have a blood test done to see if there is any medical condition causing it. Good luck.

    Most all women I know that dye their hair are losing it bad. They have spots where you can see their scalp more than hair.
    Try taking
    Vitamin B-complex - 50 mg. of the major B-vitamins (including folate, biotin and inositol)
    Vitamin B-6 - 50 mg. and B5 Pantothenic acid

    Vitamin C with bioflavonoids - one to two grams daily Vitamin E - 400 to 800 IU daily

    Beta-Carotene - 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily

    One recommended daily dose of magnesium, zinc

    Flaxseed oil - one tbsp daily or one tablet
