“…Data from teratogenic evaluations provide evidence that some aromatic amine components of hair dyes are teratogenic and/or fetotoxic, but only at doses exceeding exposure levels likely to be encountered in humans [Marks et al, 1981]. Another study found no evidence of fetotoxicity or teratogenicity of five oxidative aromatic amine hair dyes [Dinardo et al, 1985].…”

“…There are very few studies concerning HD use during human pregnancy 13. In animal studies, doses 100 times higher than the dose that would normally be used in human application did not produce significant changes in fetal development 14. Low levels of HD can be absorbed through the skin after application.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Use of hair dye is extremely common worldwide. However, our literature search failed to find studies concerning the knowledge and attitudes of the public with regard to hair dyes. We sought to explore the knowledge and practices of, and attitudes towards, the use of hair dye among females.DESIGN AND SETTING:A cross-sectional survey conducted on females who attended various outpatient clinics at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a tertiary referral hospital open to the general public.PATIENTS AND METHODS:A self-administered questionnaire about the use of hair dyes was distributed randomly among females attending the outpatient clinics at a university hospital in 2008.RESULTS:The response rate was 87.2%, with completion of 567 of the 650 distributed questionnaires. The mean (SD) age of respondents was 32.0 (10.2) years. Among respondents, 82.6% (464/562) had at some point dyed their hair. Furthermore, 69.3% (334/482) had dyed their hair in the past 12 months. The mean (SD) age of the participants when they first dyed their hair was 22.2 (7.1) years (range, 7-50). Of the participants, 76.8% (354/461) used permanent dyes, and about the same percentage of participants believed such dyes were the safest hair dye type. However, 52.4% (278/531) of the participants believed that hair dyes are harmful, and 36% (191/531) believed that hair dyes could cause cancer. Younger females tend to dye their hair less frequently (P<.001), whereas those with less education tend to dye their hair more frequently (P=.013).CONCLUSION:Use of hair dye is very common among females. Because the practice starts at a very young age, we conclude that hair dyes are overused and misused. The public should be informed about the risks associated with excessive hair dye use.

“…Animal studies have shown that doses 100 times higher than the dose normally used in human application did not produce significant changes in fetal development. But low levels of HD can be absorbed through the skin after application, which does not cause a developmental problem to the fetus [12,13]. However, the use of HDs during pregnancy is not recommended and might be associated with future health problems in children [14].…”

INTRODUCTIONHair dyes (HD) are perhaps among the most commonly used cosmetics by elderly and the young alike -for concealing gray hair by the former or just for a fashion statement by the latter. The popularity of hair coloring can be gauged from the fact that the median age for debut was 16 years and nearly 75% of women and 18% of men had dyed their hair at some point in their lives according to a Danish population-based study [1]. This rising trend of hair coloring has resulted in an increased prevalence of hair dye-associated adverse effects, which vary from mild contact dermatitis localized to one body site (hand dermatitis) or disseminated generalized dermatitis to severe life threatening complications such as contact urticaria/angioedema, rhinitis/bronchospasm/asthma, and renal toxicity [2,3].Adequate knowledge and accurate information about hair dye usage and its adverse effects are important for the general population. Identification of correlates of poor knowledge, casual attitude, and wrong perceptions among the hair dye users will help in reducing the prevalence of hair dye associated complications. However, there is a paucity of literature on the level of knowledge, attitude, and perceptions of general ABSTRACT Background: Hair dye usage is extremely common all over the world. Hair dyes have been reported to cause a wide range of adverse effects, therefore, the consumer's knowledge about hair dyeing and related side effects are important. Aim: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of general population towards the use of hair dyes. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and fifty consecutive persons using hair dyes were enrolled for this questionnaire-based cross-sectional, descriptive study. Results: These 250 patients comprised 141 men (56.4%) and 109 women (43.6%) (M: F 1.29:1), aged between 16 and 74 (mean 47.13) years. The majority, 212 patients (84.8%) were aged between 20-60 years and 66.4% (n=166) belonged to an urban background. When asked about the reason for using hair color, the principle reason was "to look younger" (59.6%, n=149). Most of the respondents were using synthetic hair dye preparations (55.2%, n=138) and when asked about the brand of hair dye being used, 25.2% (n=63) did not know about the brand they were using. When asked about their perception regarding safety of HD, 61% (n=152) respondents agreed that hair dyes are not safe and on being asked about the carcinogenic potential of HD, only 24% (n=60) respondents agreed. When enquired about the safest variety of HD, majority of respondents (52.4%, n=131) believed that plant based hair colors are the safest. When asked about the safety of HD during pregnancy and lactation, 68% (n=168) of the respondents were unaware regarding this aspect. 14.4% of the respondents reported suffering from some adverse effects due to hair dye use but only 11.11% (n=4) of those stopped using hair dyes. Conclusions: There is lack of awareness about the hair dyes and their adverse effects in the general population. There is an urgent need to in...
