You had a perm almost two weeks ago Today you dyed your hair dresser said that this was ok and as rinsed out the demi-permanent dye lot of seemed to fall is be expecte?

Yes, it is expected that some hair may fall out during or after dyeing hair that has recently undergone a perm. Here's why:

1. Structural Weakening: Perming involves using chemicals to break and reshape the hair's protein structure to create curls or waves. This process can weaken the hair, making it more prone to breakage and shedding. When hair is further treated with dye shortly after a perm, it can add additional stress, leading to hair damage and fallout.

2. Chemical Incompatibility: Depending on the specific perm and dye products used, there might be incompatibility issues. Some ingredients in permanent waving solutions and hair dyes may react with each other, causing adverse effects like hair breakage or excessive hair loss.

3. Over-Processing: Dyeing hair right after a perm means exposing it to multiple chemical treatments within a short time frame. This can overburden the hair, causing it to become brittle and susceptible to damage, increasing the likelihood of breakage and hair loss.

To minimize the risk of hair damage and excessive hair loss, it's generally recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks between chemical hair treatments like perming and coloring. This allows the hair time to recover and reduces the strain on the hair's structure.

If you have dyed your hair and experienced hair loss, consulting with a professional hairstylist is advisable to assess the condition of your hair and discuss how to care for it moving forward.
