Concerns are rising over the chemical content of hair dyes
|
Allergic reactions to a chemical found in hair dyes have doubled in recent years, researchers have found.
A House of Lords committee has found that adverse reactions to PPDs, the chemical used in hair dyes that ensures colour holds onto the hair, has significantly increased over the past ten years, evidence backed up by researchers writing in the British Medical Journal last year.
Former London Hairdresser of the Year, Karine Jackson, has appeared on BBC’s The One Show to highlight the recent concern over adverse reactions to hair dyes, which can cause skin rashes on the face and in severe cases, facial swelling.
Current EU legislation allows PPDs to comprise as much as six per cent of the content of hair dyes on the consumer market. As a result, many consumers are now turning to natural safer alternatives with a much lower PPD content, some as low as 0.6 per cent.
Consumers are strongly advised to do a skin patch test with the dye 24 hours before using on hair.

There is truth to tattoo and hair dye reaction. I never had a problem with coloring my hair until I had a temporary tattoo. The black henna did this now things are not the same. So beware it could happen to you.
