Chemically burnt scalp: will my hair regrow? (photos)

Asked By:listicka in Hlavní město Praha, Česko

Hi, I went to a hairdresser and dyed my hair for the first time. It was a month ago and I have noticed bald spots on the top of my head, do you think these spots are chemical burns? Will my hair regrow and is there a way of finding out if the roots are still there? Thank you for your help, they're patches with no hair and it's really alarming.

Answer: If you have hair loss due to chemical "damage". There is no "method" to find out if you have "roots" still left in the area.
