Things to note before dyeing your hair

If the original intention of hair dyeing was to cover gray hair, then the various colors of hair dyes nowadays have become a magic weapon for fashion trendsetters to dress up. There is nothing wrong with pursuing beauty, but before dyeing your hair, ladies must first understand the following precautions. Let’s take a look together below!

1. Do not dye your hair and perm it at the same time. If you want to perm and dye your hair, it is best to perm it first and then dye it a week later. If you dye and perm your hair at the same time, the color of the newly dyed hair may fade during the perm process; or the curls of the newly permed hair may lose their curls due to dyeing. The reason why you have to perm your hair before dyeing it is because during the dyeing process, the hair scales will open, which can easily affect the perm shape.

2. The hair color should not be too dark. Dyeing your hair darker may make you look prettier, but doing so can increase your risk of cancer. In addition, hair dyes with darker or brighter colors contain higher levels of p-phenylenediamine and are more harmful to the scalp.

3. If you are allergic to hair dye, it is best not to dye your hair; in addition, people with damaged scalp, the elderly and infirm, those with liver and kidney dysfunction, and pregnant or breastfeeding women are not suitable for hair dyeing.

4. Don’t dye your hair in foggy weather. Harmful substances in hair dyes can react with tobacco smoke or waste gas in the air to form carcinogenic nitrosamines.
