Is batik hair harmful to health?

harmful

Batik hair is first waxed and then dyed. Although it is not so harmful to hair, it will affect hair quality and easily cause allergic reactions.

The main components of hair dye are p-phenylenediamine and hydrogen peroxide, which will affect hematopoietic stem cells and are recognized as carcinogens. It plays a role in fixing the color after dyeing, but it is also a strong allergen, which can cause skin allergies in people with sensitive physique, especially contact dermatitis.

If you dye your hair frequently, p-phenylenediamine will penetrate into the stratum corneum of your hair, making it dry, broken and even alopecia. In addition to p-phenylenediamine, heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic in hair dyes may also damage the functions of organs such as liver and kidney.

In addition, hair dyes also contain heavy metal salts, which are difficult to be excreted once they enter the human body. After a long time, it will accumulate in the body, causing poisoning, dizziness, headache, fatigue, numbness of limbs and other poisoning symptoms, and may enter the liver, kidney and brain, destroying the functions of these organs.
