Chemical Alopecia

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

Chemical burns from relaxer cause 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 and 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 ofall ages can be affected by chemical alopecia.

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

People whooveruse dyes, perming or relaxing solutions, without giving their hair and scalp time to recover can suffer from this form of alopecia.

Bleaching your hair too often or chemical burns from relaxer are the most common culprits I see in clinic.
