Women often dye their hair, but is it okay to dye hair during menstruation? Let's find out together!
Can women dye their hair during menstruation?
It is not recommended for women to dye their hair during menstruation. If you experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, tension, irritability, menstrual pain, or other discomfort during your period, it is best to avoid dyeing your hair.
Women's immune system is weakened during menstruation, making them more sensitive and less tolerant to external stimuli. They are more prone to illness if they are not careful.
Hair dye products contain toxic substances, and the ability to resist toxic substances decreases during menstruation. The incidence of adverse events such as allergic reactions, follicle infections, and hair loss is more likely to increase.
What about using pure plant hair dye?
Hair dyes can be divided into synthetic and natural categories. However, currently, any hair dye product contains more or less toxic chemicals such as p-phenylenediamine, even those claimed to be "pure plant" hair dyes.
The harm of long-term hair dyeing to the human body, including carcinogenicity, has been widely recognized.
Hair dyeing can also damage the scalp's barrier function. According to related literature, about 10% of hair dye users will experience allergic reactions. After follicle and scalp damage, folliculitis, hair loss, and other problems may occur.
If hair dyeing is done frequently in a short period, it may even cause diseases in the blood system and visceral system.
