Semi-permanent color mask – permanent damage?
I have gray hairs and wanted to tone them a little with a color-depositing mask. My hair is thin and natural.
I applied it all over my head on dry hair and left it on for 1 hour.
During the next 3 washes, the color kept rinsing out, and now that has mostly stopped, but my hair gets greasy extremely fast no matter how much clarifying shampoo I use.
My scalp sometimes hurts, and I don’t know if I irritated it from washing too much.
In the past few days, my hair has barely shed at all compared to normal (?)
I’m terrified that I’m going to go bald.
The color started fading quickly from the gray hairs, while the rest of the length still holds it.
The mask contains malic acid — does that stay in the hair longer (?) maybe that’s why it feels greasy.
I can’t sleep at night anymore because I’m anxious that my hair will suddenly start falling out badly.
