What are the dangers of men dyeing their hair?

What are the dangers of men dyeing their hair? I believe that many male friends, in pursuit of fashion, will change the color of their hair according to their makeup and clothes to show their personality and handsomeness, but they don’t know that dyeing hair is very harmful, because the chemical ingredients in the hair dye will directly damage our scalp. In severe cases, it will cause allergies or induce cancer, so it is recommended that male friends should try to avoid dyeing their hair.

One is the acute reaction to hair dyeing. People have different physiques and react differently to the various ingredients in hair dye. Some people can adapt, while others have allergic reactions after using hair dyes, such as itchy and painful scalps, urticaria, and systemic reactions such as fever and swelling. Therefore, an allergy test must be done before dyeing hair, and this procedure should not be skipped for the sake of convenience. Barbers should also follow the rule of "no hair dyeing without an allergy test" to avoid adverse consequences.

Second, are there any potential problems with long-term use of hair dyes? Can long-term hair dyeing really cause cancer? According to statistics from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, for every 10,000 people who use each brand of hair dye, 15.2 people have adverse reactions (excluding damage to the hair quality). Research by the American Contact Dermatitis Association shows that hair dyes may cause dermatitis. Of course, these reactions are short-lived and will not cause sequelae as long as they are avoided in the future. People are more concerned about whether there are potential injuries. The United States has conducted experiments on feeding hair dyes to animals, and has reported that animals have thyroid cancer, liver cancer, and gene mutations. Some British scholars have suggested that people who dye their hair frequently will increase their chances of developing breast cancer. Some people believe that hairdressers who are frequently exposed to hair dyes have a higher incidence of lung cancer. However, these experiments and viewpoints have not yet been recognized and accepted. There are also many research reports that believe that hair dyes have nothing to do with human cancer.

Although there is no definitive conclusion on the carcinogenicity of hair dyes, the harm of hair dyeing is beyond doubt, but it is indisputable that hair dyes can cause allergies, have certain damage to hair quality, and have a certain irritating effect on the scalp. Some so-called "pure natural" hair dyes inevitably have other ingredients in the production process, and they have also been proven to be allergenic, so you must pay attention to them in your life. First, you should do an allergy test to prevent acute reactions. Second, don't dye your hair frequently, and don't let the hair dye stay on the scalp for too long when dyeing your hair. Wash your hair several times with clean water after dyeing. Never let hair dye stain eyelashes, eyebrows, etc. Do not dye your hair when there are wounds on your scalp. Taking these measures can reduce the burden of hair dyes.

In the above article, we mainly introduced in detail how harmful it is for men to dye their hair. I believe everyone knows that the harm of dyeing hair is beyond doubt, because hair dyes are likely to cause allergies, and they also have certain damage to the hair quality and the scalp. Therefore, for the sake of health, you should try to avoid long-term and frequent hair dyeing.
