How can hair dyes harm your hair and scalp?
Hair coloring products contain many ingredients that can irritate the skin and cause allergies. Most cases of allergic contact dermatitis caused by exposure to hair dye are caused by the ingredient phenylenediamine (PDP). PDP is a chemical found in temporary tattoo ink, printer ink, and gasoline. In boxed hair color, PDP usually comes in its own bottle with the oxidizer. When the two are mixed together, PPD becomes partially oxidized. It is likely to cause allergic reactions in sensitive people.
