The Benefits Of Henna Cream Vs Traditional Hair Dye

Is henna cream easy to apply with an easy-to-apply applicator? Here's all you need to know about.

Pursuing a flawless appearance leads us to explore various products and treatments, with hair dyes being among the most popular. However, behind the promise of vibrant, youthful strands lies a market filled with chemical substances that can jeopardize our health and the environment. Clelia Cecilia Angelon, Hair Expert, founder and CEO of Surya Brasil,explains that the market offers a variety of hair colour types to meet different needs and preferences, with the most sought-after being permanent, semi-permanent, and plant-based colours.

Conventional Permanent Hair Dyes

They contain potential irritants that can cause allergic reactions, scalp injuries, and even more severe damage, such as dermatitis and hair loss. This is due to the action of chemicals that penetrate the hair fibre. Among such substances, Ammonia and its byproducts, such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, or triethanolamine, are the most harmful. Used to open the hair cuticle and allow colour penetration, ammonia can cause respiratory irritation and its byproducts can form highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.

• Hydrogen Peroxide, an oxidizing agent in chemical-based dyes, can cause skin and eye irritation and damage the hair structure.
• P-phenylenediamine (PPD), One of the most common ingredients in hair dyes, is known for causing severe allergic reactions and potentially increasing the risk of cancer.
• Resorcinol, another ingredient in harsh chemical dyes, is used as a coupler in dyes for hormonal disorders.
• Heavy metals, also found in hair dyes, can accumulate in the body over time, leading to adverse health effects, including cancer and severe poisoning of kidneys and other organs.

The main concern related to oxidative permanent colouring is the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. Hair dye residues, when improperly disposed of, can contaminate soil and water resources, harming wildlife and flora. To minimize these risks, opting for less aggressive products, such as natural hair dyes based on henna, is advisable.
