Won’t perms cause hair loss? If I keep having perms for a long time, I might go bald…? I think there are many people who are concerned about this. We will explain whether perm solution actually has such effects.
Perm solution causing hair loss?
The perm solution commonly used in beauty salons is not a strong enough agent to cause hair loss. More than 50 years have passed since the prototype of the current perm was created, and during that time, the search for safer and less damaging perm methods has continued and improvements have been made.
Also, as you can see from the fact that it is possible to do perms at home, perm solutions are “guaranteed to be highly safe.
Of course, when you do perms by yourself, it is possible to induce small amount of hair loss due to “a large amount of chemicals adhering to the scalp” and so on. However, if you use perm solution within the limits of common sense and follow the directions for use, it is unlikely that a large amount of hair loss will occur.
Perms do not cause hair loss.
If a perm is performed at a hair salon, it is unlikely that this will cause unusual hair loss. This is because it is almost inconceivable that the chemicals would adhere to the scalp to the extent that they would penetrate into the hair follicles.
However, the scalp is somewhat sensitive immediately after a perm. If a person with sensitive skin neglects hair and scalp care after a perm, there may be some gradual effects over the years.
To avoid perms as a cause of hair loss in the future, it is important to pay attention to the frequency of perms and hair care before and after perms. If you spend your life with unhealthy hair, your hair loss will progress over the years, regardless of perms.
Possible causes of hair loss
However, hair loss actually occurred at the same time as the perm…. In such cases, the following possibilities may be considered.
First, hair loss due to stress or irregular lifestyle. Do you have any idea that you have been sleeping poorly recently, or that you have been leading an irregular lifestyle due to illness or busyness at work?
Second, alopecia areata or hair loss caused by sebum. It is possible that the alopecia happened to coincide with the time of your perm.
Third, if you had a perm done without an interval since your last perm or hair straightening, it could be “hair breakage” instead of “hair loss”. The damage done in a short period of time may have reduced the strength of the hair, making it more prone to breakage. Check to see if the roots are attached to the hairs.
