Anybody else

Bleh I know it's irritating. And it makes me laugh how often it's girls with bleached blonde hair that use oxidative toners all the time that say it to me.

I just smirk inside my head because my hair is usually better condition 🙂

My mum gets her hair dyed every six weeks with all-over permanent dye, washes, blows dries and uses a curling iron once sometimes twice a day, puts all sorts of crap on it and is constantly on at me that mine will "all fall out" (when she's not telling me that she only ever liked my hair dyed black). I am sick of it.

I have to keep reminding my mom that the direct dyes don't damage. She's just a bit worried, it's not that she doesn't want me to dye my hair, since she loves the colours. I'm thankful for that. She agreed that when I used decolour remover and dyed the previously black bit purple it looked way better on me than the black did. But again, I had to tell her it's not damaging like bleach.

I guess it's just lack of knowledge? And in some cases (already mentioned in this board) a different way of saying you don't like something. Which is annoying.

Tabitha that's exactly the same as my mum! I keep saying her hair is most probably more damaged than mine, but she says "well I don't use bleach" she has her hair lightened all over every time! it has peroxide mixed in with the colour lol

But yeah, I think we all get people telling us things like that, Shannon. I get told by mums doing the school run that they'd love to have bright hair too but they don't want their hair to fall out lol. My hair is not falling out! 

Yeah I think people assume we bleach the entire lengths of our hair everytime it needs lightening, and that we bleach out each colour or something and that the dyes are like box dyes. I do explain when people make those sort of comments, but most times I can see they've stopped listening!

Yup...I probably bleacg my roots about once every 6 weeks, same as anyone else who colours their hair with a permanent colour, whether with a box dye at home or in a salon.  I also baby my hair in between bleaching with minimal heat styling and lots of moisturizing treatments so it is probably in better condition than a lot of theirs too but you still get regular "it'll all fall out" from people!

A xXx

It isn't something people generally say to me, probably because I have so much hair.
However when my hair did fall out (due to prescription drugs, nothing to do with colouring it) my GP did suggest I stop dyeing it.

Glad I'm not the only one who getsbtirednof this lol.

My mom is the same! We even had this discussion this very morning.
