Vivid hair colors are beyond the conventional realm of hair color. Vivids are also known for fun hair color, fantasy colors, rainbow colors, etc. These colors can vary from vibrant neons to deep jewel tones and soft pastel tones.
Vivid hair dye, an ever-evolving and dynamic industry segment, has encountered tremendous development over the past few decades. The global vivid hair dye market has noticed remarkable changes in consumer trends, styles, behavior, and the market landscape in the past few years. Today, it is not just about color, it is about defining identity, embracing diversity, and making a statement. Style-wise, the vivid hair dye market has noticed a shift from traditional hues to more eclectic and daring palettes. In addition to this, according to the research report of Astute Analytica, the global vivid hair dye market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.95% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031.
The side effects of vivid hair dye on health are: –
Over-processing
Permanent hair colors usually have ammonia and peroxide. The ammonia breaks via the hair shaft, and the peroxide balances the natural pigment in the hair, stripping away color. This procedure of loosening the hair cuticles to reach the cortex of the hair and bleach out its natural pigment is, basically, hair damage.
Over-treating the hair with these chemicals will drive it to lose shine, break easily, and in some severe cases, wash away with water. While processed hair can be revived to a particular extent with hair care treatments, the only way to get rid of the damage from over-processing is to cut the hair.
Allergic reactions
Hair dyes causing allergic reactions are not unique, especially because permanent hair dyes have paraphenylenediamine, which is a standard allergen.
People who have contact dermatitis specifically tend to react because of the PPD and other chemicals present in dyes. People with skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema, should also refrain from utilizing hair dyes to color their hair. In milder cases, permanent dyes can provoke skin irritation, itching, redness, scalp irritation, chemical burns, or other sensitive areas like the neck and face.
Conjunctivitis
Failing to exercise severe caution when dyeing hair can result in the chemicals making contact with the sensitive parts of the face. In some cases, when chemicals from hair dyes make contact with the eyes, it can lead to conjunctivitis. In other cases, it provokes severe discomfort and inflammation.
Asthma
Asthma is one of the symptoms of an extreme allergic reaction to hair dyes. Persistent inhalation of the chemicals in hair dyes can lead to wheezing, lung inflammation, coughing, throat discomfort, and asthma attacks.
Upkeep
While this is not a side effect, it can be a cause for some. A lot of people do not acknowledge just how much goes into the maintenance of colored hair. It is a long-term dedication that will have them rushing back to the salon every month or so, which can be hard on their hair. People will need to buy products that are particularly formulated for colored hair. A few styles require regular touch-ups, and hair, in general, demands so much extra care.
Post-processed hair is truly vulnerable to damage and requires a lot of patience, time, and care.
