Xu Yang, a 38-year-old clothing store owner, chose to dye her hair regularly in order to maintain a good image in front of customers and partners.
Ten years later, hair dyeing seemed to have become an indispensable part of her life, however, just as her career was booming, a sudden cancer diagnosis changed the trajectory of her life dramatically.
At first, Xu Yang only felt symptoms such as itchy scalp and hair loss, but due to her busy work, she didn't pay attention to it until she found that the hair loss was getting worse and worse, and her scalp began to appear red and swollen during a hair wash, and she realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xu Yang hurried to the hospital for an examination, and after learning about her medical history, the doctor said with a solemn expression: "Your scalp has shown signs of cancer, which is likely to be related to long-term hair dyeing, do you know, some studies have shown that if the number of hair dyes exceeds a certain number, the probability of cancer may increase by as much as 10 times!"
Xu Yang was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect that her years of beauty-loving behavior would have such serious consequences.
The doctor continued, "Hair dyes contain a variety of chemicals, such as p-phenylenediamine and resorcinol, which can cause cancer due to long-term exposure. And if you dye your hair far more than you can safely, your risk of cancer naturally increases dramatically. "
"The scalp is a very sensitive part of our body, the density of hair follicles on the scalp is as high as about 100 per square centimeter, and there are also a large number of blood vessels and nerves around the hair follicles, and the chemicals in hair dye are easily absorbed into the body through the scalp, causing harm to health. "
Only then did Xu Yang understand the seriousness of the matter. The doctor comforted her and said: "Fortunately, it was detected early, the cancer is still in the early stage, and after active treatment, there is still great hope, but you must be cautious about dyeing your hair in the future, and it is best to quit this habit completely." "
Xu Yang nodded, secretly glad that she had sought medical attention in time and did not delay her condition, she decided to say goodbye to hair dyeing and embrace her natural beauty.
The doctor's words made Xu Yang feel afraid, but at the same time, it also triggered her to think deeply, and she realized that many people lack sufficient understanding of the dangers of hair dyeing, blindly pursue fashion and ignore the health risks.
In fact, the impact of hair dye on health is far more than just cancer, long-term use of hair dye may also lead to allergic reactions, dandruff, folliculitis and other problems, and in severe cases, it can even cause leukemia, brace cancer and other diseases.
In particular, some inferior hair dyes contain higher levels of harmful substances, and potential safety hazards should not be underestimated, and frequent hair dyeing will also cause irreversible damage to the hair, resulting in poor hair quality and brittle hair.
The doctor reminded: "When buying hair dyes, be sure to choose regular brands, check the ingredient list, avoid using products containing harmful substances such as heavy metals and formaldehyde, and in addition, pay attention to the protection of skin and eyes to avoid direct contact with hair dyes." "
Of course, not all hair dyeing behaviors need to be demonized, and moderate, scientific hair dyeing is still acceptable.
But the premise is to choose high-quality hair dye products, operate strictly according to the instructions, and control the frequency of hair dyeing, preferably not more than once every 3-6 months.
At the same time, we should also develop the habit of regular check-ups, discover and deal with possible problems in time, and once we find an abnormality, we must immediately stop dyeing our hair and seek medical treatment in time.
The doctor also advised: "Pay attention to keep your scalp clean, choose a mild shampoo, avoid overwashing, and at the same time, pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts, etc., to maintain healthy hair." "
Beauty is important, but health is more precious, we must learn to strike a balance between the two, treat hair dyeing and other beauty behaviors with a scientific and rational attitude, and do not make beauty a burden on health.
As the saying goes, "the body is skinned, and the parents are received", we must know how to cherish and love our bodies, and put health first while pursuing beauty.
Only with a healthy scalp and hair can you bloom the brightest brilliance and show more confidence and charm in your career and life.
