Although we cannot say that dyeing your hair is bad, you do have to be very careful with the products you use.
For many girls, dyeing their hair is one of their essential beauty rituals, and they do it very often, some -sacredly- every twenty days, without thinking if it brings any harm to their health.
So yes or no? Is dyeing your hair bad?
Actually, when a girl who dyes her hair thinks about whether or not it’s bad, what scares her is that his hair is chilled or worse, that it falls out and go bald.
However, there are much more serious risks. We refer, for example, to cancer. And it is that an investigation of the National Cancer Institute of the United States warned that some chemicals in certain dyes are listed as carcinogenic.
Despite some of them were banned in the seventies and eighties, are being used again; new studies also reveal others that were thought to be harmless as toxic.
Substances in some hair dyes that could be carcinogenic
- Paraphenylenediamine (PPD or para-phenylenediamine)
- Parabens and phathalates
- Resorcinol
- Formaldehyde
Note that heHow often and the type of dye you use can make a difference. Whenever you can, choose a natural one, hopefully with a certification seal.
