i'm 15/f and i get my hair dyed blonde frequently. like it would be normal, it wouldn't fall out or anything. well recently i got my hair dyed auburn and ever since then my hair falls out. like in the shower i'll scrub my hair and i'll find clumps of it in my hand. what do i do?! i'm freaking out and it looks so thin and flat (usually its very voluminous)
thanks

It also causes damage but damage doesn't usually result in hair falling off in clumps. It could be completely unrelated to the hair dye and it could be due to poor diet. However, if it gets severe or if it really worries you (medically) , you should see a doctor about it. [ beachpeach's advice column | Ask beachpeach A Question ]

If you have bald spots from hair falling out or if the hair comes out with the roots attached (and is not breaking off), you need to see your family doctor. You could be experiencing just problems from dyeing your hair or you could be having problems with your thyroid or symptoms of diseases such as lupus.

I'm not actually certain what this could be. Did you use a different make of dye the last time as you may have had a side effect from it? Although frequently dying hair causes damage to it (I dye my hair red every time I get it cut) I've never known it to fall out as you've described. I think the best thing to do would be to have a word with your doctor about it who would be able to advise you better about what might be going on.
