Hair dye allergy is one of the common allergies, so recognizing and promptly treating this condition will help housewives reduce damage to their hair and have shiny hair.
According to beauty experts at the health website Healthline, the cause of allergies may be some ingredients in hair dye, which is paraphenylendiamine (PPD) - a substance commonly used to color hair.
When PPD combines with hydrogen peroxide, it creates colored molecules that can easily cause allergies on the scalp and if not handled or treated promptly, will cause a lot of damage to the hair.
In addition to PPD, other chemicals such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and ethoxydiglycol found in hair dyes can also cause irritation and damage to the scalp.
Accordingly, allergic symptoms often appear quickly, just within a few hours or days after hair comes into contact with dye.
Symptoms such as itching, tingling on the scalp, red rash, blistering... are things that housewives need to pay attention to. If more severe, it can lead to infection or scaly dermatitis on the scalp.
When experiencing an allergic reaction to hair dye, housewives should consult and consider stopping using the dye to avoid the condition becoming more serious.
Next, quickly wash your hair thoroughly to remove the hair dye to help prevent irritation or itching of the scalp.
Antihistamines can be used to help reduce inflammation symptoms, but should be used as directed by a doctor for best results.
Beauty experts advise that before using dye, you should test a small amount on your face or hands to see if there are any reactions such as itching, redness or burning to ensure safety for your scalp and hair.
At the same time, housewives should buy dye products from reputable brands with clear origins to ensure safety. Do not dye your hair if your scalp is injured or irritated to avoid damaging your hair.
And especially, avoid doing many hair treatments at the same time, such as dyeing and curling, to minimize the risk of allergies and damage to your hair.
