Abstract

Acute toxicity of hair colours and their components ranges from moderately to low. Accidental human toxicity is uncommon and has only been associated with oral consumption. Hair colour interface sensitization is an ongoing safety concern, primarily due to unsupervised skilled description. While the usage of hair pigments has skyrocketed in developed nations over the past several decades, the prevalence of dye sensitivity in people of all ages and among professionals has steadied or even decreased. However, there is uncertainty regarding the organic category of oxidative hair dye ingredients' in vivo carcinogenicity (aromatic amines); in vitro, genotoxicity investigations on hair dye compounds typically produced good findings. Hair pigments seldom provide positive in vivo genotoxicity outcomes. No proof of genotoxic consequences of hair pigments or their components has been identified through research in men. Based on pharmacological investigations, a few favourable vivo positive hair dye chemicals (p-aminophenol, Lawsone) have been demonstrated to offer no danger or very little threat to people's health. Even though the newest case-control epidemiology research revealed a link between hair colour usage and bladder cancer, several additional studies, especially retrospective analyses on sizable populations, revealed no negative associations for bladder or other malignancies. Oral carcinogenicity studies on hair dye substances at doses taken orally up to the greatest tolerated dose (MTD) indicate that certain compounds are carcinogenic in rodents, despite research on the chemicals or commercial formulations of hair pigments' in vivo topical carcinogenicity producing insufficient proof for systemic toxicology or carcinogenicity.
