When will my hair stop falling out after bleaching? If you find this questions answer then the answer is, “There is no exact time”! Your hair falling will not stop until you start the proper treatment!
If you see your hair falling starts after bleaching, you should go to your doctor as soon as possible to stop your hair from falling.
Remember that your hair will not restore right after starting your treatment! Because each person’s hair is different, and how long it takes to restore bleached hair entirely depends on how badly it was damaged.
Using a shampoo and conditioner made from plants may help after a few weeks or even days, but it may take months for the bleach in your hair to heal completely.
Especially if you bleach your hair, you’ll have to let it grow out to get it back to normal. How long it takes depends on how fast your hair grows, but it could be anywhere from two to three years.
Why is my hair falling out like crazy after bleaching?
Bleaching your hair makes it dry, brittle, and stiff, which makes it more likely to break and split.
Because bleached hair is porous, styling tools like blow dryers and curlers are much more likely to damage it.
You are much more likely to lose hair when your hair is damaged like this.
Bleaching doesn’t cause hair loss directly, but it does make it much more likely to happen.
Hair gets damaged from bleaching and highlighting, but it doesn’t fall out. As your hair gets more damaged, normal things like brushing it or sleeping will break it more.
Breakage near the root can cause unsightly stubble and fear in some women who believe they are randomly losing their hair.
Bleaching can only directly cause hair loss if something goes wrong with the chemicals.
For instance, if you leave your bleaching product on your head for too long or the mix isn’t right, it could hurt your scalp and lead to more serious hair problems.
How much hair loss is normal after bleaching?
A healthy person without chemical treatments or bleaching can lose up to 100–150 hair strands daily. If your hair falls more than 300 hair per day after bleaching, then you should think about that!
Bleaching raises your hair’s outer cuticle, which lets the bleaching agent get into the hair shaft and react with the stable pigment molecules, breaking them down into pieces that can be washed out.
It also damages the strand by destroying the natural fatty acids found on the hair shaft. This is permanent damage; the longer you bleach, the worse it gets.
Repeated bleaching can also permanently raise the cuticle scales, which lets water leave the hair quickly and continuously. Bleach damage is permanent and adds up over time, and your ends will be less able to handle it.
How to stop hair falling out after bleaching?
After bleaching, you must remember seven important hair-saving steps to reduce or prevent hair loss!
- Before you bleach or dye your hair, a Trichologist should look at it. A Trichologist can give the scalp a pre-bleaching treatment to prepare it for bleaching.
- Use a deep conditioning treatment or a moisturizing hair mask three days before and after bleaching and once a week after that. This will “moisturize and prepare” the hair, making it less likely to break during bleaching and more flexible.
- Get a patch test before the procedure to determine if bleaching can cause permanent hair loss.
- It is best to have a professional bleach your hair because bleaching products are only meant to be used “off the scalp” and should not touch the skin, especially the sensitive skin of the scalp. Don’t try to do it yourself because of this.
- If you feel any burning during the bleaching process, tell your stylist. It could be a sign of a burn on your scalp or an allergic reaction. The process should come to an end. See a Trichologist if the burning feeling doesn’t go away.
- Check your head after bleaching it. Do you have any rough spots or scabs on your skin? Your scalp might be red, itchy, or burned. If it does, you may have been burned by chemicals that were too strong for you or that you were allergic to. Talk to a Trichologist as soon as possible to get a diagnosis and treatment for your condition before it gets worse and stays that way.
- After bleaching, do you have much hair falling out at the scalp? This might be because the hair isn’t in good enough shape to get the service. In this case, you should talk to a Trichologist as soon as possible and start a routine to get ready. But it will never be the same until your hair grows back and the old growth is gone.
Will hair loss from bleaching grow back?
If you bleach your hair, that part of your hair will always be damaged. But hair grows from the root, and the new hair will be just as healthy as the old.
If you damage your scalp or hair so badly that chunks of hair fall out, you will be bald in those spots until the hairs start growing back like it should (like after you shave).
Scalps that chemicals have burned need time to heal, and then the hair will grow back. Even if you damage your hair so much that it falls out, you won’t lose it forever.
Final Words
If your hair is very broken or brittle you should be careful when bleaching it. And, remember that whitening your hair may take more than one treatment, especially if your hair is already dark. In this case, you should space out your lightning treatments every six weeks or more over a long period to give your hair time to heal.
