What are the possible dangers of hair dyeing?

1. Hair quality deteriorates

People who dye their hair frequently know that dyeing hair can easily deteriorate the hair quality, making it dry and dull, split, break or tangled. This is because the chemical components in the hair dye can have a strong destructive effect on the hair scales on the surface of the hair.

2. Hair loss

The chemical components in hair dyes can cause certain stimulation to our scalp and hair follicles, and can also cause the scalp's resistance to decrease, making it easy to cause hair loss.

3. May cause cancer

Hair dyes not only stay on the surface of hair, but they may also be absorbed into the skin through the scalp. Some hair dyes may contain some carcinogens. However, regular hair dyes are generally safe. However, if you dye your hair too frequently, it will increase the possibility of cancer.

How to reduce the harm of hair dyeing?

1. Don’t wash your hair before dyeing it

It is best not to wash your hair before dyeing it. The oil remaining on the surface of the hair and scalp can reduce damage to the scalp when dyeing your hair.

2. Do a skin test first

To avoid adverse skin reactions before using hair dye, you can take a little hair dye for a skin test. If there is no abnormal reaction on the skin, you will feel more at ease when dyeing your hair.

3. Try not to apply it on your scalp

If hair dye comes into direct contact with the scalp, it can be easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, when dyeing your hair, try to avoid direct contact with your scalp.

4. Reduce the number of times you dye your hair

For normal adults, it is best not to dye your hair more than twice a year. Some people like to dye their hair again after new hair grows, but they should also pay attention to the frequency, preferably at least 3 months apart.

5. Wash and care more after dyeing

After dyeing your hair, you can wash it more often to reduce the residue of hair dye. When washing your hair, pay attention to the mild water temperature and gentle technique. It is best to massage the scalp to avoid scratching, because the residual chemicals after the scalp is damaged can easily enter the body.

In addition, it is recommended that you avoid perming and dyeing your hair at the same time, as it will cause double damage to your hair or scalp.
