Do you get leukemia with your hair?

Do you get leukemia with your hair? Whether frequent haemorrhagic infections lead to leukaemia is a general public concern. According to current scientific research, there is no direct evidence of a necessary causal link between the use of the dye and the occurrence of leukaemia. However, with regard to the safety of dyes, the scientific community has been conducting research, and the following is a detailed analysis of this issue.The relationship between hair and leukaemia.1. Composition of the dyeThe dyes are mainly temporary, semi-permanent and permanent. Permanent hair dyes contain chemical substances such as benzodamine (PPD) and hydrogen peroxide, which can penetrate the cortex of the hair, react chemically with the protein in the hair and change the colour of the hair.2. Causes of leukaemiaLeukemia is a type of malignant cloned disease originating in blood stem cells with complex causes, including genetic, environmental and viral infections. Among environmental factors, long-term exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation and certain chemical substances (e.g. benzene, pesticides, etc.) is considered to increase the risk of leukaemia.3. Research evidenceAt present, the results of studies on the relationship between hair and leukaemia are mixed. Some epidemiological studies have shown a slight increase in leukaemia among people with long-term haemorrhagic use, but others have not found such a correlation. These studies have certain limitations, such as sample size, research design, dye type and dose differences.Safety assessment of dyes1. Regulatory regulationMany countries and regions have restricted the use of hazardous components in dyes, such as the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which regulates the use of certain chemicals in dyes.2. Exposure assessmentThe use of dyes is usually considered intermittent and the time of direct contact with the scalp is short. As a result, the exposure of the general population to chemical substances through dyes is relatively low.How to reduce the risk of infection1. Select safe productsTo the extent possible, dyes that do not contain or contain hazardous components such as PPD may be selected, along with semi-permanent or temporary hair dyes, which have less damage to hair.2. Correct useThe correct use of dyes in accordance with the product instructions avoids frequent dyes and minimizes chemical damage to the scalp and hair.3. Protective measuresWhen a dye is used, gloves can be worn to avoid direct contact with the skin. If the dye is accidentally exposed to the skin, it should be washed immediately with a large amount of water.4. Attention to physical conditionIn the event of allergies or other discomfort following the use of a dye, the use shall cease immediately and medically in a timely manner.ConclusionsIn conclusion, while there is currently no conclusive evidence to suggest that frequent haemorrhagic infections can lead directly to leukaemia, taking into account the potential risk of certain chemicals in dyes, consumers are advised to be cautious in their use of dyes and to reasonably select and use dye products to reduce potential health risks.Scientific research and regulatory bodies should continue to focus on the safety of dyes and conduct more long-term follow-up studies and risk assessments to provide clearer guidance on their use. At the same time, the public should maintain its concern for the health of the individual, follow professional advice and make rational use of the dyed product, ensuring that it also protects its health while pursuing beauty.
