The hazards of plant hair dyes

There are many types of hair dyes in our lives, including pigment hair dyes and plant hair dyes. If you use plant hair dyes to dye your hair, it may cause less damage to the skin, but plant hair dyes will still affect the health of the scalp and affect the body's functions, so we do not recommend that you dye your hair frequently in your life. The following is an introduction to the hazards of plant hair dyes. I hope you can understand it.

All we can say is that it will not cause any harm for the time being. There is no research showing that pure plant hair dyes are really harmless to the human body. So use them appropriately. In addition, allergies are also related to physical constitution. It is not uncommon for you to become allergic to something that others are not allergic to after using it. To confirm whether you are allergic to the hair dye, you can do a patch test. That is, before dyeing your hair, apply the hair dye to the thin skin area on the inside of your arm, and see if an allergic reaction occurs after 48 hours.

The toxicity of hair dye has nothing to do with whether it is natural or chemically synthesized. Natural plant ingredients ≠ non-toxic. Chinese medicine is from natural plants, but some of it is highly toxic and some plants themselves are toxic, which is normal. The most common hazard of hair dyeing is contact dermatitis. Currently, most hair dyes contain the allergen - paraphenylenediamine. Some people will have an allergic reaction to this chemical ingredient. After using hair dye, they will experience swollen eyelids, red skin, and even small rashes that are extremely itchy. These abnormal phenomena can only disappear after taking anti-allergic drugs.

Any hair dye that does not add this chemical will find it difficult to color the hair. Even if it can be colored, the color is not permanent and will fall off in a day or two. So, for this dye, the medical community has confirmed decades ago that it can cause bladder cancer. In addition, dyes enter the human body through the skin and hair follicles and then enter the blood. They are worried that excessive concentration of dyes or too high frequency of hair dyeing will damage blood cells, thus becoming the cause of lymphoma and leukemia.

The above tells us in detail the dangers of plant hair dyes. I hope you can remember the dangers introduced in this article. Using plant-based hair dyes to dye your hair will cause certain damage to your hair, and for those who are allergic to pollen, you will experience symptoms of scalp allergies.
