As hair dye can affect health

Hair dyeing has long become part of everyday care for millions of people. But how safe is it? Lush Researcher Millie Alkvist in his new True Colors book: hair coloring for interesting and careful explains why even in this usual procedure it is worth staying careful.

"It is obvious that hair dye does not pose the same risk as smoking," Alkvist notes. "But so many people dye their hair that even a slight increase in risk is important."

It is not about the immediate cause, but an increase in the likelihood of developing a number of cancer. Permanent hair dyes are the greatest danger, which accounts for about 80% of the world market.

The main suspect is paraphenylenediamine (PPD) and its derivatives, such as PTD and Me-PPD. These aromatic amines have the ability to penetrate the body and potentially cause mutations at the cellular level. Their use is associated with the increased risk of developing such diseases:

  • breast cancer;

  • non -Hodgkin's lymphoma;

  • chronic lymphocytic leukemia;

  • multiple myeloma.

Although the risk is relatively small, given the mass of use, it cannot be ignored.

How to Reduce Potential Damage:

  • always use gloves when painting;

  • dye your hair in a ventilated room;

  • do not leave the paint for longer than specified in the instructions;

  • thoroughly wash your hair after the procedure;

  • Try to increase the interval between coloring.

Experts also advise to pay attention to the composition of the product. If there is a PPD, PTD or other amines on the label, you should think about alternatives: less aggressive formulas or natural dyes.

There can be any color in fashion-but the best trend is always the one that does not harm health.
