Hair loss from dying hair black!

i recently dyed my hair black at home, i got it from wal mart... anyway, when i took a bath alot of hair came out, no one hardly noticed, then the second time it got worse, then about 3 days ago alot came out and i have to do a come over type thingie! its really anoying me! i dont think its breaking off, its comming from the root! someone said i could be alergic to the dye, has this happened to anyone?
if i get it a little wet some hair still falls out! should i just shave it off an watch it come back?
and the bad thing about it is i just got a girlfriend, my first! and i look like im 40 and going bald! so far im just wearing a hat, you can really tell when its combed. im not putting any gel in it at all, what should i do? please help

Hehe, this post is 5 years old, I wonder if they got married and had kids in the meantime.

The problem with permanent hair dye is that yes, it bleaches, and so you can fry your hair under some circumstances. If what you want to do is go darker, it's much better to use a semi-permanent dye, and use it more often. There's less chance of damage.
