Chemical Alopecia

Chemical alopecia can be the result of a hairdressing service gone wrong. Otherwise, the long term use of hairdressing chemicals such as bleaches, dyes, and relaxers can also be the reason.

Chemical burn from relaxer causes hair loss where the hair becomes weak and the scalp condition worsens. Scalp dermatitis can also result from the over use of chemicals. By sensitising the scalp this leads to dermatitis as well as hair breakage.

Scalp dermatitis varies in type and the strong alkali chemicals in bleach and relaxer alike can cause scalp issues, including allergic responses.

Over-processing your hair with these chemicals causes a number of problems including weathering and cortical disruption where the hair almost disintegrates.

The only way to stop hair loss from chemicals is to reduce the use of them and focus on strengthening your hair making your scalp healthy.

Men and women of all ages can be affected by chemical alopecia.

This results in patchy hair loss and a chemically damaged scalp.

People who over use dyes, perming or relaxing solutions without giving their hair time to recover can suffer from this form of alopecia.

In order to treat chemical alopecia, a visit to the trichologist will see the condition assessed and diagnosed. Here at Trichosynergy we assess and create a personalised hair and scalp treatment plan for you.
