The generation of people who in their teens dyed their hair lack to be fashionably punk or Goth, or got “black henna” temporary tattoos have a statistically higher probability of being allergic to chemical hair dye. This is because increased exposure brings increased likelihood of allergic reaction. These reactions can range from hair loss to itching and swelling to open sores and even death from anaphylaxis. This slideshow outlines the cause and effect of allergy to para-phenylenediamine.
