How are allergies caused from chemical hair dyes and what are their symptoms?
The harmful chemicals present in chemical hair dyes react adversely with the skin cells when they come into contact with your scalp or forehead, causing hair dye allergies. Hair dye allergies can be either mildly harmful or fatal depending upon the number of chemicals applied and the skin type. Hair dye allergies do not necessarily occur only when your hair colour is used for the first time. They can also occur in subsequent usage. The symptoms of hair dye allergies, include:
- Burning sensations on the head, neck and face
- Blisters or boils on the scalp and body
- Sudden itching and red rashes on the skin and scalp
- Burning sensation in the eyes
- Swellings under the eyes and cheekbones
Which chemical component in hair dyes causes allergies?
The main element in chemical-based hair dyes that causes allergies is PPD (paraphenylenediamine). If you are allergic to hair colours, then you must study the contents of hair dyes carefully before buying them. Try avoiding PPD or any of its derivatives to stay clear of allergies.
Some people might also be allergic to heavy metals like aluminum, lead, barium and ammonia. Try avoiding these as well in your hair dye.
