Hair dyeing is a very popular procedure thanks to which you can change their color and change your appearance. We usually choose it to cover or obtain a specific desired color and shade.
Dyeing your hair seems like a trivial procedure, but it involves contact with chemical substances. The hairdresser suggests what to do to make the color change safer.
Hair coloring can be done with non-permanent or permanent dye. The former is rinsed off after washing the hair with shampoo, and the permanent color is dyed permanently. There are natural hair dyes, but most products contain chemical substances that make it easier to achieve a specific effect.
The chemicals can be toxic and penetrate the skin. This is why in some people, contact with hair dye may cause redness or burning – an allergic reaction has occurred.
The use of lightening dyes is particularly harmful to both the hair and the scalp. First of all, they penetrate deeper because bleaching requires stripping the hair of its natural pigment. The process also requires repeated application of products, which increases the risk of irritation.
It is also worth paying attention to the unpleasant, intense smell of some paints. It may irritate the respiratory tract and even (in extreme cases) lead to asthma or allergies. This is why the paint is best applied in well-ventilated rooms.
Due to contact with chemicals, it is best to dye your hair a maximum of four times a year. Experts say that coloring should not be done more often than once every three months.
It is also worth applying a protective balm to the scalp before dyeing (especially before bleaching) your hair. It is better not to wash your hair just before applying the color, because the effect may be less intense and the risk of irritation increases.
We should also avoid, if possible, contact of the product with the skin behind the ears and neck, and above all, the face. It is also important to choose products from reliable manufacturers.
