Is it worth ‘dyeing’?

Is it worth dyeing?

Modern world.  New trends. Various consequences. Yet people will first follow the trend and then think about the consequences.

New phone, new dress, anything new can lay the foundation of a new trend. These days, the trend seems to be about fashionable hairstyles.

Many people try to put marvellous hairstyles, whether they are at home, on the roads or at some mall. My friends too seem to have come into a trance of this trend. One day, I would find them putting a pony with a puff, while another day I would catch them braiding their hair.

This trend does not stop here.

With the help of modern equipments, people carry these trends even further as these equipments have made it a whole lot easier.

Going for a party? Curl your straight hair and put a beautiful braided bun. Your hair is ready.

That’s not all. The trend treads deeper when people realise that one can change the style, the shape and even the colour of their hair.

Now, many people seem to be “dyeing” to get their hair “dyed.” Some people with various curls hate their messy hair and change it into straight. While many other people won’t like their straight hair locks and convert it into a curly hair.

To keep pace with the trend, people have started losing the originality and natural beauty of their hair. They do not realise the consequences in store for them if they continue with the trend.

People don’t understand that their hair is slowly “dying” due to the constant “dyeing.” 

The chemicals sometimes react strongly against the hair, which often leads to serious skin diseases. Similarly, the heat emanated from a hair straightener may lead to hair fall or other related problems.

I fail to realise, is it worth “dyeing!”
