This blog will help color fanatics experiment with rich hues without dyeing or damaging your hair. Continue reading to learn all about it!

Why You Must Avoid Hair Dyes

Why you ought to avoid hair dyes

Don't get us wrong; we absolutely love every color and technique that is involved in the process from highlights and lowlights to balayage, ombre, babylights, and everything in between. Still, we also understand the damage your hair goes through.

As fun and exciting as hair coloring are, the harsh chemicals mixed with strong bleach have adverse consequences on your hair. Knowing the side effects before considering dyeing your hair is important. Because once you go through the process of coloring your hair there is no U-turn in it. What's done will be done. So better equip yourself with all the knowledge beforehand and make all your decisions then.

Side effects of dyeing your hair with hair dyes and bleaches

Over Processing

Permanent hair dyes widely contain ammonia (or compounds identical to it) and peroxide. The ammonia penetrates the hair shaft, while the peroxide bleaches out the natural hue of your hair, removing the color from it. This technique loosens the cuticles to enter the hair cortex and bleach its healthy pigment, ultimately leading to hair damage.

Excessive use of these agents will lead your hair to lose shine, break easily, and, in severe circumstances, wash away with water. While hair care products can help revitalize processed hair to some degree, the only option to repair the damage caused by over-processing is to cut your hair.

Allergic Reactions

It is not unusual for hair dyes to induce allergic responses, especially since permanent hair dyes comprise paraphenylenediamine, a frequent allergen. You should completely avoid hair dyeing if you have skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Itching, rashes, inflammation, and redness around your neck and face are all common side effects of permanent hair dyes.

Another aspect to remember while using hair dyes is that just because you haven't had an adverse response before, this doesn't guarantee you won't experience one in the future. The more you color-treat your hair, the more likely you will have an allergic response.

Conjunctivitis

Failure to use extra care when coloring your hair could result in chemicals contacting delicate areas of your face. When hair color agents come into contact with your eyes, they can cause conjunctivitis or eye infections. It will result in extreme discomfort and inflammation in severe cases.

Asthma

One of the signs of a chronic allergic response to hair colors is asthma. The prolonged inhalation of the chemicals in hair colors can cause breathing problems, wheezing, lung inflammation, throat pain, and asthma episodes.

Upkeep

While this is not exactly a side effect, it can be a source of concern for many. Many are oblivious to how much work goes into maintaining colored hair. It is a long-term commitment that will require you to return to the hairdresser every other month, which can be damaging to your hair and pocket.
