Background: Hair coloring, or hair coloring, is the follow of fixing the hair color. The most reasons for this area unit cosmetic: to hide gray or white hair, to alter to a color thought to be additional modern or fascinating, or to revive the initial hair color once, it's been stained by hairdressing process or sun bleaching. Hair coloring is often done professionally by a stylist or severally reception. Celtic folks colored their hair blonde; they bleach it by laundry them in lime and brushing it back from their foreheads. The coloring of hair is associate ancient art that involves treatment of the hair with varied chemical compounds. In history, the dyes were obtained from plants. The event of artificial dyes for hair is derived from the legendary discovery of the reactivity of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) with air. Results: Hair dyes are cosmetic compounds that make contact with the skin throughout application. As a result of this skin contact, there exists some health risk related to use of hair dyes. People allergic to protein as an example, can have to be compelled to take care once buying hair color since bound dye includes protein. Protein doesn't have to be compelled to be eaten for it to cause associate hypersensitivity reaction. Skin contact with protein might cause a reaction; thus, resulting in associate hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms of those reactions will embody redness, sores, itching, burning sensation, and discomfort. Symptoms can typically not be apparent instantly following the appliance and process of the tint, however may arise once hours or maybe daily later. Conclusion: Pigments of the hair got colored by the tactic of removing, replacing, or covering up. Employment of those chemicals may cause varied adverse effects, at the facet of temporary skin irritation and hypersensitivity, hair breakage, skin discoloration, and explosive hair color results. The ultimate color of every strand of hair can depend upon its original color and body. As a result of hair's color and body across the pinnacle and on the length of a hair strand, there'll be delicate variations in shade across the complete head. This provides an additional natural-looking result than the solid, everywhere color of a permanent color. Thus, hair dyes area unit regulated within the industrial marketplace and, as new toxicity knowledge is generated for a few hair dye, and health risks area unit discovered, in a controlled people, employment of hair coloring may end up in aversions and/or skin irritation.

Mutagenicity Tests

p-Aminophenol (PAP), m-Aminophenol (MAP), and o-Aminophenol (OAP) are used in permanent (oxidative) hair dyes at concentrations from 0.1 to 5%. In vivo and in vitro skin absorption studies indicated that 11% of the dermally applied 14C-PAP was detected in the excreta, viscera, and skin of the test animals. The oral LD50s of PAP, MAP, and OAP in rats ranged from 600 to 1300 mg/kg. Topical application of PAP at concentrations up to 8.00 g/kg to the skin of New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits produced no skin irritation and no mortality. PAP, MAP, and OAP were irritating to eyes of NZW rabbits at a concentration of 2.5%. MAP at 3% was nonsensitizing in guinea pigs; PAP at 2% sensitized 9 of 10 guinea pigs. Neither PAP nor MAP produced photosensitization in guinea pigs. No treatment-related toxicity was found in three separate four-generation chronic dermal toxicity and reproduction studies of hair dye formulations containing the three Aminophenols. Additional studies on the pure ingredients were also nonteratogenic; embryotoxicity was reported. A range of results was obtained from studies assessing the mutagenic activity of the Aminophenols. PAP tested positive in six of eight mutagenicity tests. MAP and OAP gave positive results in two of eight and five of seven mutagenicity tests, respectively. Oxidative hair dye formulations containing PAP, MAP, and OAP did not produce gross or microscopic alterations or have carcinogenic effects after chronic topical application to mice. Feeding of OAP-HCl and PAP to rats at a dose of 8 mmol/kg produced neither hepatic cirrhosis nor neoplastic lesions. A 3% solution of MAP in an aqueous vehicle was neither a significant irritant nor sensitizer in two clinical studies. A variety of epidemiological studies have not indicated that occupational exposure to, and personal use of, hair dyes containing the Aminophenols presented a carcinogenic risk. A discussion of the significance of the mutagenic data in the safety assessment and the potential for human effects is presented. On the basis of the available animal and clinical data presented in this report it is concluded that p-, m-, and o-Aminophenols are safe as cosmetic ingredients in the present practices of use and concentrations.

Hydroxybenzomorpholine (HBM) is a heterocyclic compound that is used in cosmetics as a coupler in coal tar hair dyes. No deaths were reported in a subchronic oral toxicity study in rats. Some degenerative changes in the cortical tubules of the kidneys were observed in the mid and high-dose groups. HBM was considered to be practically nonirritating to the rabbit eye and produced only slight skin irritation. HBM was neither a sensitizer nor a photoallergen. HBM was not mutagenic in either the Ames assay or in the mouse micronucleus test. On the basis of the data included in the report, Hydroxybenzomorpholine is considered to be safe as a hair dye ingredient at the current concentrations of use.

The ingredients m-Phenylenediamine and m-Phenylenediamine Sulfate are aromatic amines that function as hair colorants in cosmetic products. Both are currently used in hair dye products at concentrations of up to 3%. Percutaneous absorption of m-Phenylenediamine has been demonstrated in animals. Three metabolites excreted in urine have been identified. The oral LD50 of m-Phenylenediamine in rats is between 360 and 650 mg/kg. Subchronic studies in rats (oral) indicated some lesions in the liver but no kidney injury, while one study in rabbits (dermal) indicated some liver and kidney toxicity. Another dermal study in rabbits failed to show any liver or kidney toxicity. Skin irritation and sensitization were found in guinea pigs exposed to m-Phenylenediamine. Clinical data indicated some evidence of sensitization. A short-term study in rats (oral) reported an absence of any neurotoxicity. One study in female rats identified fetotoxicity but no evidence of terata. Other studies reported neither birth defects nor fetal deaths. Both positive and negative results were found in various mutagenesis assay systems. In studies with mice and rats, neither m-Phenylenediamine (both oral and dermal exposure) nor hair dye formulations (dermal exposure only) containing m-Phenylenediamine were carcinogenic. Based on the concentrations of m-Phenylenediamine shown to produce sensitization in animal studies, it was concluded that these ingredients can be used safely in hair dyes at concentrations of up to 10%.

Study Results

Disperse Blue 7 is an anthraquinone dye used in cosmetics as a hair colorant in five hair dye and color products reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hair dyes containing Disperse Blue 7, as “coal tar” hair dye products, are exempt from the principal adulteration provision and from the color additive provision in sections 601 and 706 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 when the label bears a caution statement and “patch test” instructions for determining whether the product causes skin irritation. Disperse Blue 7 is also used as a textile dye. The components of Disperse Blue 7 reportedly include Disperse Turquoise ALF Granules, Disperse Turquoise LF2G, Reax 83A, Tamol SW, and Twitchell Oil. No data were available that addressed the acute, short-term, or chronic toxicity of Disperse Blue 7. A mouse lymph node assay used to predict the sensitization potential of Disperse Blue 7 was negative. Although most bacterial assays for genotoxicity were negative in the absence of metabolic activation, consistently positive results were found with metabolic activation in Salmonella strains TA1537, TA1538, and TA98, which were interpreted as indicative of point mutations. Studies using L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells appeared to confirm this muta-genic activity. Mammalian assays for chromosome damage, however, were negative and animal tests found no evidence of dominant lethal mutations. Cases reports describe patients patch tested with Disperse Blue 7 to determine the source of apparent adverse reactions to textiles. In most patients, patch tests were negative, but there are examples in which the patch test for Disperse Blue 7 was positive. In general, anthraquinone dyes are considered frequent causes of clothing dermatitis. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel determined that there was a paucity of data regarding the safety of Disperse Blue 7 as used in cosmetics. The following data are needed in order to arrive at a conclusion on the safety of Disperse Blue 7 in cosmetic products: (1) methods of manufacture, including clarification of the relationship between Disperse Blue 7 and Disperse Turquoise ALF and Disperse Turquoise LF2G mixed with Reax 83A, Tamol SW, and Twitchell Oil; (2) analytical methods by which Disperse Blue 7 is measured; (3) impurities; (4) concentration of use as a function of product type; (5) confirmation that this is a direct hair dye; and (6) clarification of genotoxicity study results (e.g., Disperse Turquoise ALF and Disperse Turquoise LF2G were genotoxic in bacteria—what is the specific relation to Disperse Blue 7? Disperse Blue 7 at 60% purity was genotoxic in bacteria—is the other 40% the inert Reax 83A, Tamol SW, and Twitchell Oil?). Until such data are provided, the available data are insufficient to support the safety of Disperse Blue 7 as a hair dye ingredient in cosmetic formulations.

3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol is a semipermanent (direct) hair colorant used in 21 hair dyes and colors at use concentrations up to 0.15%. When applied to human skin in vitro, 0.42% of the applied 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol was recovered in the receptor fluid. In an acute toxicity study using rats, 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol at 1000 mg/kg resulted in hypoactivity, piloerection, dyspnea, and lateral recumbency in animals that later died. The surviving rats exhibited none of these signs. No abnormalities were found at necropsy. Subchronic toxic-ity tests using rats fed 25, 100, or 400 mg/kg day-1 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol for up to 93 days resulted in yellow urine and tails with all three dose levels and yellow fur occurred in the two high-dose groups. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for 3-Methyl-amino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol was 100 mg/kg day-1. Two percent 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol was a slight ocular irritant but not a dermal irritant using rabbits and it was not a sensitizer using the murine local lymph node Assay. There were no embryotoxic or teratogenic effects observed in doses up to 750 mg/kg day-1 in rats; the NOAEL was defined as 100 mg/kg. 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol was not genotoxic in in vitro assays including multiple strains of Salmonela typhimurium and Escherichia coli, Chinese Hamster ovary cells, and human lymphocyte cultures. No carcinogenicity studies were available, nor were any clinical tests reported. As reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, there are gaps in the data available for of 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol. In particular, there is an absence of data from chronic animal studies. The Expert Panel considered that the low percutaneous absorption and that the available developmental toxicity data and the subchronic toxicity data, both of which resulted in relatively high NOAEL values, alleviate concern about the absence of chronic exposure data. In addition, several studies demonstrated that 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol is not genotoxic. Direct hair dyes, of which 3-Methylamino-4-Nitro-phenoxyethanol is one, although not the focus in all investigations, appear to have little evidence of an association with adverse events as reported in hair dye epidemiology studies. The lack of phototoxicity data was not considered to be a concern because this is a direct hair dye ingredient, which has little skin contact and residual color is attached to hair, not normally to skin. No human skin sensitization or irritation data were available. However, hair dyes containing 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol, as coal tar hair dye products, are exempt from the principal adulteration provision and from the color additive provisions in sections 601 and 706 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, when the label bears a caution statement and patch test instructions for determining whether the product causes skin irritation. The Expert Panel expects that following this procedure will prospectively identify individuals who would have an irritation/sensitization reaction and allow them to avoid significant exposures and concluded that 3-Methylamino-4-Nitrophenoxyethanol is safe as a cosmetic ingredient in the practices of use and use concentrations described in this safety report.

HC Yellow No. 5 is a direct hair dye. Hair dyes containing HC Yellow No. 5, as “coal tar” hair dye products, are exempt from the principal adulteration provision and from the color additive provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 when the label bears a caution statement and “patch test” instructions for determining whether the product causes skin irritation. Preliminary testing on or by individuals should be done using an open patch test that is evaluated at 48 h after application of the test material. Users, therefore, would be able to determine their individual reactions to hair dye products containing HC Yellow No. 5. Absorption of HC Yellow No. 5 is minimal through skin ( < 0.2%). The oral LD50 for rats is 555.56 mg/kg. No significant toxic effects were observed after chronic oral exposure of HD Yellow No. 5 to dogs. Mild dermal irritation, but no dermal sensitization or ocular irritation was observed in laboratory animals. Results of fertility and reproductive performance, teratology, and developmental studies were negative. HC Yellow No. 5 was found to be nonmutagenic and noncytotoxic in standard laboratory assays. A current review of the hair dye epidemiology literature identified that use of direct hair dyes, although not the focus in all investigations, appears to have little evidence of an association with cancer or other adverse events. Based on the available safety test data on HC Yellow No. 5, the Panel determined that this ingredient likely would not have carcinogenic potential as used in hair dyes. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that HC Yellow No. 5 is safe as a hair dye ingredient in the practices of use and concentration as described in this safety assessment.

Carcinogenicity Study

HC Orange No. 1 is used as a colorant in semipermanent hair dyes. The highest concentration reported to be used is 0.15%, but information from manufacturers suggested that higher concentrations may be used in the future. Skin penetration through cadaver skin was 1.28% at 24 hours. In studies using rats, acute oral exposure studies produced little toxicity, and short-term toxicity studies produced reduced body weight and increased liver and kidney weights, relative to controls in animals fed 0.5% HC Orange No. 1. There was no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity in rats fed up to 1.25% HC Orange No. 1 or in a multigeneration study using rats in which 0.15% HC Orange No. 1 was painted on the skin. While evidence suggests this ingredient is a mild ocular irritant, no skin irritation, sensitization, or photosensitization was seen in animal or clinical tests. The preponderance of data (four out offive studies) indicate that this ingredient is not genotoxic. Hepatocellular and parathyroid hyperplasia were noted in the dermal carcinogenicity study, but the overall findings were clearly negative. Because the highest concentration tested that produced no significant sensitization in clinical tests was 3%, the Expert Panel concluded that safety could be assured only at levels ≤3%. The Expert Panel recognized that this concentration may be greater than that currently used in hair dye formulations.

Background: Despite its association with a number of side effects, hair dye use is common worldwide. Objective: To explore the local side effects of hair dye use and to relate these effects to features of hair dyeing. Methods: A questionnaire about hair dye use was distributed to a random sample of 650 female patients at various outpatient clinics in 2008. Results: A total of 567 females returned the questionnaire (87.2% response rate). Of these respondents, 82.6% (464 of 562) had used hair dye products in the past. The mean age at first use was 22.23 ± 7.05 years, and the median time between two consecutive dyes was 6 months. Of these respondents, 76.8% (354 of 461) used permanent dyes. Participants reported that they suffered skin redness caused by hair dyes (15.1%, 65 of 431), had scaling (14.4%, 60 of 417), or had itchiness (31.3%, 134 of 428). In addition, 74% (262 of 354) of the participants reported that they had issues with the texture or condition of hair following hair dye use; 77.7% (314 of 404) reported split ends, whereas 69.6% (273 of 392) reported hair dryness, 69.4% (256 of 369) lusterless hair, 77.2% (308 of 399) excessive hair loss, and 53.6% (210 of 392) excessive hair graying. Furthermore, 55.1% (196 of 356) of the participants reported a slowing of hair growth. The total number of hair dyeing events was associated with increased hair loss (p = .04) and excessive graying (p < .001) after controlling for all relevant variables. Conclusion: Hair dye is associated with local side effects to the skin and hair. Increased public awareness of these risks could help inform consumer choices and reduce excessive use.
