I believe that many people have done things to dye their hair. Some people are in pursuit of trends to make themselves look better and more fashionable, while others are to cover their gray hair and look less old.
Regardless of the reason for the need to dye hair, it is necessary for everyone to understand that hair dyeing has a certain harm to the body.
You must know that hair dye contains a lot of chemicals, and when people dye their hair, they will apply these chemicals all over their hair, and even stick to the scalp, resulting in scalp irritation, which is easy for some people with sensitive skin.
Frequent hair dyeing will also increase the incidence of leukemia and cancer. Even so, there are still quite a few people who dye their hair, and even some diabetics want to dye their hair. Can diabetics dye their hair?
Diabetes mellitus is mainly caused by the failure of the body's insulin secretion or utilization function, which cannot metabolize and decompose sugar in the body, and the sugar enters the blood, causing high blood sugar.
Because diabetes is a chronic disease and is difficult to be completely cured, the patient's body immunity will be affected by the disease, if you have to dye your hair, you must wait until the condition is stable to carry out, and when dyeing your hair, you should also pay attention to the following four aspects.
1. Choose hair dyes produced by regular manufacturers
If diabetics need to dye their hair, they need to choose hair dye produced by regular manufacturers, because some small manufacturers use low-quality chemicals to produce hair dyes, which will cause severe irritation to the scalp and cause allergies.
In addition, before dyeing their hair, diabetics can do a skin test, such as applying hair dye to the skin behind the ears and dye their hair if there are no problems.
2. Protect your eyes
Diabetic patients should take eye protection measures when dyeing their hair, and do not let hair dye enter their eyes, which will cause infection after being stimulated by chemicals. If the hair dye gets into the eyes, rinse the eyes with water in time to help reduce irritation.
3. Avoid hair dye staying on the scalp for too long
Any hair dye has a certain irritation, and the body immunity of diabetic patients is not as good as that of ordinary people, so when dyeing hair, try to avoid hair dye staying on the scalp for too long, so as not to cause redness, swelling, itching and other uncomfortable symptoms after the scalp tissue is stimulated for a long time.
4. Don't dye your hair frequently
Whether you are a diabetic or a healthy person, you should try to control the time of dyeing your hair and not dye your hair frequently. For example, the number of hair dyes should be controlled to less than 2 times a year, especially for diabetic patients, so as to avoid repeated irritation of the scalp and infection caused by folliculitis, which will affect diabetes.
To sum up, diabetic patients can dye their hair when their condition is stable, but they should pay attention to the above four aspects.
In addition, diabetic patients should also take hypoglycemic drugs or inject insulin to keep blood sugar stable, usually control their diet, strengthen physical exercise, and have regular work and rest time, so that the body's immunity can be enhanced, and complications in the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs should be prevented.
