These days hair coloring is the latest trend that everyone would like to follow. And same is the trend seen with the longing for straight hair. However, the harmful effects of chemical dyes can damage your hair. According to the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, hair dyes and hair straighteners top their list in consumer complaints. Even though the warnings and debates over the use of hair dyes are persistent over the past decade, people seldom seem to refrain from their use in the name of fashion. The hair color chemicals can be extremely harsh to your hair if you are one of those who color or straighten your hair a little too often.

Everywhere around the globe, stores sell chemical hair dyes and straighteners of various brand names. These products come without any good instruction manual and people are unaware of this powerful process that changes their very chemical makeup of the natural hair strand. Lack of knowledge and awareness is also the primary cause of hair damage. Before you plan to get any hair treatment, especially the ones that involve chemicals, you should be well informed ...
... and do a complete research.

Chemical hair dyes contain the following two coal-tar compounds:

• 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine (4MMPD)
• 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine sulfate (4MMPD sulfate)

Moreover, almost all hair colors and dyes have ammonia and peroxide in them, among other harmful chemicals, which can cause great damage to your hair. The harm caused by peroxide and ammonia and their reaction with your hair depends on the level and kind of product that is used. When artificial chemical hair dyes are used, a small amount of the dye seeps into the scalp and enters the bloodstream. The dye in the blood stream can be a possible cause for cancer as well.

For the more permanent hair color treatments, the tiny molecules of ammonia and peroxide get into the cortex, react with the cells and expand in size so that they are not washed out. The hair actually needs to grow out over time to get rid of the color. These products serve to lighten the natural pigment of the hair forming a new base, on which a new permanent color is added.

Breakage of hair, retardation of hair growth, irritation in scalp, thinning of hair, hair loss and scalp damage are some of the common complaints that people have because of misuse or excessive use of chemical hair dyes and straighteners.
