“…All of the safety assessments based on these data have come to the conclusion that the exposure of consumers and professional stylist clients to hair dye ingredients stays orders of magnitude below safety limits, which are judged to not pose a risk for human beings. The same has been also shown recently for hairdressers’ exposure to hair dye ingredients, provided recommended occupational safety measures are applied, like wearing of gloves during hair coloring 10 …”

Summary Background Due to their basic reactive chemistry, the safety evaluation of hair dyes has always been a major consideration. Hair dyes are therefore one of the most studied and regulated consumer products on the market with an overwhelming amount of safety data. Yet, hair dyes continue to come under scrutiny, primarily regarding two safety concerns: First, a potential link to increased cancer risk, and second, skin allergy. Aims This paper will review epidemiologic studies regarding hair dye safety, discuss hair dye allergies incidence and consumer practices, and provide practical recommendations for dermatologists and patients. Conclusion Numerous epidemiologic studies have been conducted, evaluating a potential correlation between hair dye use and an increased risk for any possible cancer type. Taking all currently available epidemiology studies and state‐of‐the‐art safety data into account, it is concluded that hair dyes do not pose an increased cancer risk, either for consumers and clients, or for professional hairdressers. Like other products such as certain foods or drugs, hair dyes can cause allergic reactions in a few sensitive individuals. The vast majority of hair dye allergies are delayed hypersensitivity or type IV reactions. Allergic reactions to hair dyes are rare when compared to their widespread use and occur at a rate of approximately 1 per 1 million products sold. To further minimize the risk of hair dye allergies, the cosmetic industry has voluntarily implemented risk management measures. For example, all oxidative hair dye products bear allergy warning labels on pack, making consumers and hairdressers aware of a potential allergy risk. In addition, hair coloring products are equipped with clear use instructions and the majority of brands recommend conducting a skin sensitivity test 48 h before the hair coloration. Finally, professional hairdressers are advised to apply appropriate occupational safety measures (like wearing gloves). In collaboration with dermatologists, we will continue the education efforts towards consumers, clients, and hairdressers to improving the compliance with the risk management measures with the overall aim to further minimize any potential allergy risk.

“…It has been estimated that approximately 15% of the total world production of dyes is lost during the dyeing process and then released to the environment through textile effluents [17]. Apart from the textile industry, leather tanning industry [28][29][30], paper industry [31], food technology [32,33], hair colorings [34][35][36], photoelectrochemical cells [37][38][39] and light-harvesting arrays [40][41][42] also contribute to the presence of dyes in wastewater.…”
