I used h2o2 to make my hair a tad bit lighter. my friend keeps telling my hair is dying and it'll fall out. i diluted the substance. i'm still scared.

Hair and H2O2: Hair by its nature is already dead cells. If anything you'd weaken the strands. If the H2O2 is on the roots, that might be a different story, so maybe avoid that. If the hair starts to break and such, just stop using H2O2, and the hair will continue to grow out.
