Using hair dyes to colour the hairs has become common now.
It is revealed that more than 35% of women and 20% of men use hair dyes. People use different colours to colour their hairs. The reasons for hair colouring are to cover the white/grey hairs, to appear trendy etc. It is said that the chemicals used in temporary, semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes could have negative impact on the heath.
Few chemicals that are found in hair dyes are ammonia, formaldehyde, coal tar, p- Phenylene diamine or PPD, resorcinol, eugenol etc. The bitter truth is these chemicals are responsible for many diseases.
