Can you pls let me know what is the name written on the bottle of your ginger oil? So I can buy the right one like what you used, maybe can find in other shop. TIA
ginger oil could have been discontinued. after the hair grew back, aunt told me her friend's daughter also experienced same problem. so i gave it to her. i used 2 different tonics...oil is to stimulate the bald area while the jason brand is to revitalize the scalp for hair growth.

How long do you need to leave the dye on your hair before washing it off?[/quote]


Excluding application time, about 20 mins. I think I am slow in the application because first time doing. My hair is the thick and course type. I did rebonding in June and I think it damaged my hair. Was quite surprised that the colouring did help to smoothen and brighten it. I used dark brown but turns out to be very close to black. But, I am fine because my original hair colour is black.

Yours can last 4 months?
I need to touch up every month. 😢

that particular patch of hair is very outstanding once the hair colour fades. since it's strange to colour just one area, so i colour everything...the colour on that particular patch will wear off after 2 months while the colour on the rest of the head is very good.[/quote]Huh, due to PSLE stress can cause a small bald patch? 😓 :nailbite: That's scary, but luckily, the oil & lotion your aunt gave out were effective. It's ok lah, even if it comes out white.

I heard of cases where one walks under a tree and a pigeon poo on the hair, it will cause a bald patch if the poo isn't washed off the scalp immediately

Used CIELO (milky). The odour is very much controlled and my hair does not feel dry. Managed to cover my white hair. Will continue to diy, much cheaper than salon.[/quote] Thanks, will take note of this brand. How long do you need to leave the dye on your hair before washing it off?

This is what the salon claims, that the hair dye they use is less cancerous but who actually verifies such claims? I think whether one DIY at home or dye at salon, as long as one dyes hair, all equally susceptible.

Maybe genetic or dietary reasons. However, as working adults, to keep as grey so young would not be preferred I am sure.

Even woman in the past, those wealthier ones, blacken their hair. In olden days, black hair was one criteria for beauty.

all this while I have this 'knowledge' of inferior hair dye may cause cancer.


Randomly quick search and found this for sharing:

http://bigenhairdye.blogspot.sg/2010/07/bigen-hair-color-dye-that-actually-can.html

Be careful of all the chemicals used in a dye (I allow my hair to grey naturally and so have not dyed hair before).


Thanks for sharing. As lee_yl mentioned, it's very difficult for us ladies to have a crowning glory of white hair. 😂

Anyone any idea which brand is less cancerous???

There are salons that use brands known to be gentler. If you have sensitive scalp, you must also tell the hairdresser beforehand and highlight on the care you may need, like ear protectors, being careful not to touch the scalp, apply Vaseline or protective oil, use low heat etc.
