colour treatment - #13813
I am really confused about this whole colour treatment thing. Last month, my hair started falling out more than usual and my scalp became super itchy. Took a trip to the doc and they mentioned that maybe my hair dyes could be causing it, like it’s some kind of allergic reaction. They suggested stopping all colour treatment for now, but I have been using colour treatment for years, like from highlights to full dye jobs and honestly, it’s been like a part of my identity. The doc gave me some steroids and a special shampoo but it feels like nothing’s changing. I see all these people talking online about the benefits of colour treatment and how it can be great for hair health, but here I am, with a breaking scalp. Is it possible that I could switch back to a different brand of colour treatment once my scalp calms down? Or is there a safer, gentler way to do colour treatment that won’t lead to these horrible reactions? I’m super worried because I just don’t wanna deal with all this, I just want my hair back to normal. Are there any specific products that might be less harsh or, should I just avoid colour treatment altogether forever?! What's the best way to approach this?
