Abstract

The era of aging population is approaching. Not only hair color provides insight into well-being, it is nowadays perceived to reflect youthfulness and attractiveness therefore greying hair is concerned by majority of population. There is increasing number of hair-dyed people along with hair dye allergy. Several chemical substances used in hair dyeing process are potent allergens; however, those substances have changed over time. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of individual countries, including Thailand, have issued the ministerial regulations to control ingredients in hair dyes for safety of their people. As a consequence, we review all concerns of hair dyeing including categories of hair dyes, hair dye allergy, other adverse effects, hair dyes in Thai-market, and Thai-FDA regulations.
