THE DANGER OF PERMANENT HAIR DYES.
Yesterday I passed this thing called TV which I speak, and at that moment a journalist (very well informed, by the way) interviewing a Spanish hairdresser who was telling the virtues of hair dyes.
With a smile most appropriate to advertise toothpaste was to convince teleinvidentes dye do you use these and also tried to convince the reporter that he needed at all for his beautiful head of hair in my eyes looked splendid.
The latter, with a face of circumstances as saying he found it credible that all that mattered, he began to rebut certain arguments produced an interesting debate in such a short space of time.
The essence of it is that the interviewer knew the manufacturing process of the dyes. I knew that any substance used in this process was not healthy.
Ensure that the hairdresser was impossible to recognize him. Well because I did not know or because it was his business. But both given. If it was through ignorance or bad faith, the result was the same people who then see what I was seeing and did not have any information about you really think permanent hair dye was totally safe for your health as well as the aesthetic advantages it offered.
That is why I decided to make this entry. To speak of the matter in question and you have the correct information. After you use permanent dye your hair or do not use it will be up to you.
What you should know is the result of research conducted in the year 2002 at the University of Southern California (United States) and published in the International Journal of Cancer.
This research was coordinated by researchers Manuela Gago and José Esteban Castelao and was performed for 10 years in males and females 1,500 patients aged 25 to 65 years.
The conclusion reached was that using permanent hair dyes regularly doubles the risk of developing bladder cancer. That's nothing. The cause that causes it are aromatic amines that are in these dyes. Specifically, the parafenilenediamina (PPD), aminophenols and orthophenylenediamine. But there are more toxic substances such as ammonia, resorcinol and formaldehyde.
In metallic dyes include substances such as lead acetate, precipitated sulfur, sodium thiosulfate, cobalt, nickel, copper and silver nitrate.
Also identified three important issues:
- They are more dangerous dark dyes that clear.
- The risk is higher for hairdressers who manage them. Spend more time in contact with those substances so they have a higher risk.
- If you use permanent dye monthly for over a year have a risk equal to that caused by snuff.
So if you smoke, you use these dyes are in good health and have more luck than a rabbit from a hat of a magician (because you get older and not end up in your stomach).
This news is from 2002, 10 years ago, would have meant a change in the laws of the countries to ban the use of these aromatic amines and other toxic substances and replace them without any risk, which were fully safe for the health of users.
I have heard that in Germany, France and Sweden banned but not in Spain. The European Union regulates the use of these substances and prohibits exceed 6 % of the composition of the dyes.
If a component is proven toxic is no less toxic by using less amount.
We find the situation that commercial dyes meet the legal rate, but those made in the salons, as the case referred by dermatologists do not meet those rules.
I certify that this research will have cost a lot of money, time and inadequate evidence in humans (that to know that risk had to prove permanent dye and bladder cancer develop a significant number of people to give it as relevant as they there is a verifiable cause and effect) that has not been for nothing.
To finish this post you comment on other side effects that may occur using this type of stains. They are:
1. Mild cases:
- Allergy to the dye.
- Itching.
- Redness of the scalp.
- Scaling.
- Generalized urticaria.
- Hives.
- Swelling.
- Irritated eyes.
- Irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose.
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Fatigue
2. More severe cases:
- Hypersensitivity.
- Risk of respiratory distress (dyspnea).
- Loss of coordination.
- Disorders of memory.
- Asthma.
- Insufficient oxygenation of the blood (cyanosis).
- Hypertension.
- Reduction of oxygen transport to tissues (methemoglobinemia). If it is too intense can cause death.
- Seizures.
- Eat.
- Multiple chemical sensitivity.
3. Use of permanent hair dyes tabs:
- Simultaneous inflammation of the conjunctiva and eyelid (blepharitis).
- Inflammation of the cornea (keratitis).
- Corneal necrosis.
- Inflammation of the uveal (eye).
- Inflammation and degeneration of the eye nerve (optic neuritis).
- Inflammation of the skin (contact dermatitis).
- A state of hypersensitivity to one of those toxic substances triggered a violent response to alterations hyperergic in various organs and systems in the extreme can lead to shock and death (anaphylaxis).
If you think this listing is true and you can consult a manual of basic toxicology. If you can read to the end will be more informed than the reporter cited. Otherwise, if you can not sleep because stopping you've discovered a natural sleeping pill.
So my advice is do not use permanent dyes unless the true and natural disguise your hair is absolutely necessary for your self esteem.
But I advise you not only me. Also, the Professional Division of Industries of Beauty and Hair Care International Union of Food and Commerce say that some of the chemical oxidation dyes penetrate the skin and can be harmful to health. They warn that these products should be handled with care, wearing gloves during mixing, during application and during the removal of oxidation dyes.
Now I can not say you did not know.
The decision you make I hope it's the right one.
A greeting.
