Hair Dye Allergies
Dyeing hair is a timeless fashion which knows no gender, as more and more men resorting to this method of beauty. But those who want to color the hair should be careful because the hair dye can cause allergies.
Over time it strengthened the idea that dyed hair shines more beautiful in the sun than natural hair, and all those who use this beauty method hopes to get a unique color.
But very few people are likely aware about the negative effects: eczema, allergies or even hair loss.
Dr. Philippe Assouly, dermatologists at the Hospital Saint Louis in Paris, warns those who want to change their hair color that dye chemicals can cause scalp eczema and contact dermatitis. Also, the hair deteriorates very easy: it becomes more elastic and free to break easily.
Fortunately, specifies the specialist, hair loss occurs only in exceptional cases, following a strong allergy. “Even then, hair loss is only temporary,” said the French doctor.
Regarding the differences between hair coloring products, Dr. Philippe Assouly said that in appearance the permanent hair dye may contain more dangerous substances than semi-permanent dyes bases on natural products. But eczema may occur also when applying
semi-permanently dye.
The least risky hair coloring substances are those natural, such as Henna.
