Can hair dyeing cause cancer and hair loss? What should I do if manicures damage my nails? West China experts explain it in one article!

Only 3 days left until the holiday!

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the hair salons and nail salons in the streets and alleys start to get crowded, and many young ladies arrange a "New Year beauty package" for themselves - hairdressing and manicure .

I understand that everyone wants to be beautiful, but becoming beautiful may come at the cost of your health.

No matter what style you want to wear this year, you'd better know what Dr. Huaxi will say next!

1Can hair dyeing cause cancer and hair loss?

The truth about hairdressing❓

① Hair dyes do have the risk of causing cancer and allergies.

There is no completely harmless hair dye on the market. Hair dyes generally contain phenylenediamines, most of which may be carcinogenic.

But there is no need to panic. It is foolish to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage.

At the same time, certain ingredients in hair dye may cause skin allergies when they come into direct contact with the scalp, causing discomfort such as stinging and itching, and even severe allergic reactions such as ulcers and swelling.

If it is not treated in time, hair may never grow in that area again...

② Improper hair dyeing may cause hair loss.

Repeated hair dyeing in a short period of time can easily induce scalp inflammation or increase the chance of hair damage, leading to hair loss.

③ It has become a consensus that hair dyeing damages hair quality.

In comparison, perming will cause relatively less damage to the hair and scalp, while dyeing hair with light colors is more harmful.

Hairdressing Guide✅

• There should be at least 3 months between each perm and dyeing (it is best to dye your hair once a year and perm once every six months);

• Choose regular and qualified hair dye products;

• 48 hours before dyeing your hair, apply a small amount of hair dye product to areas such as behind the ears or arms to make sure there is no allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, etc. before dyeing your hair;

• Apply hair dye carefully and try not to let it come into contact with your scalp;

• After perming or dyeing, pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing of your hair (for example, use some weakly acidic shampoos with nourishing ingredients);

• After dyeing your hair, increase the frequency of hair washing to minimize the amount of hair dye residue;

• Pregnant women and patients with malignant tumors are people who are not allowed to perm or dye their hair.

2 Is it easy to get onychomycosis from manicure?

The truth about nail art❓

① Changes in nail color and thickness caused by manicures are not necessarily caused by onychomycosis.

To diagnose onychomycosis, you need to check for fungal infection on the nails. Never jump to conclusions or "treat the disease" randomly.

Changes in nail color and shape may occur in many situations and are not necessarily caused by manicures.

② The UV/LED light used in manicures is not so carcinogenic.

The saying that "excessive exposure to ultraviolet light will cause cancer" does exist, but some people have also done relevant research:

It was found that if one was exposed to ultraviolet light once a week, it would take 250 years to develop a cancer.

Therefore, we believe that using LED light or UV light during manicure will not have a particularly big impact on the body.

③ Manicure can really make nails unhealthy.

Excessive trimming of the edges of the nails may damage the nail stratum corneum, causing the nail bed and the nail shell to separate. If the trimming method is incorrect, it may also cause paronychia.

Too many times of removing nail polish will make the nails thinner and brittle. If you can't help but always pick your nails to remove them, the nails will be delaminated and cracked...

However, if the nails are not removed for a long time, it may cause activation of subungual pigment cells or pseudo-leukonychia.

Nail Art Guide✅

• When trimming your nails, make sure they are cut into a slight arc, and do not trim the corners completely;

• It is best to soak your nails in warm water before cutting them. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use nail grinding instead of cutting;

• Do not sand the deck surface;

• Carefully choose to push back and trim the nail cuticle;

• Do not remove nail polish more than once a week;

• When using the UV light sealer, you can wear gloves that expose the nails.
