Khaberni - Eye-catching colors and touches that change the appearance in minutes... Behind this sparkle, a silent danger may lurk that many do not expect, as the hair dyes that offer a new look may carry in their folds chemicals capable of harming your health, especially the kidneys, with excessive or improper use.
Detoxification of the body
Changing hair color is a common beauty habit among millions around the world, whether to cover gray hair or refresh the look. However, what many do not realize is that some of the chemicals in hair dyes may pose a risk to kidney health with repeated or incorrect use.
The kidneys function to detoxify the body, but some compounds such as "para-phenylenediamine" (PPD) and aromatic amines, found in many synthetic dyes, can be absorbed through the skin and reach the bloodstream, thereby increasing the workload on the kidneys.
Who is most at risk?
Studies have shown that repeated exposure to these substances may lead to mild kidney inflammation or stress, and in severe cases to more serious complications such as acute renal failure.
Signs that may indicate kidney effects include swelling in the limbs, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, changes in the color or quantity of urine, or chronic itching. If these symptoms appear after using dyes, it is advised to consult a doctor immediately.
The individuals most at risk are those with chronic kidney disease, diabetes patients, those with sensitive skin, and those who use dyes frequently.
How to prevent
For prevention, it is recommended to choose henna or dyes free of ammonia and PPD, and to apply safe practices such as wearing gloves, ensuring good ventilation during dyeing, adhering to the specified application duration, and thoroughly rinsing the hair after use.
