Occupational asthma in a hairdressing salon

Occupational asthma in a hairdressing salon

As a young student I don't know what chemicals are inside hairdressing products and the college is not providing enough information about it
I have to read about the ingredients on the product's package but some of the products has so small boxes, bottles so the ingredient's list is written in small letters and is almost impossible to read it


As a curious person I done some research about this subject


Persulphates salts are found in  bleach. This salt is a powerful oxidant. Many companies make now bleach dust free so this is so good when you have to work with this product.

Hairdressers should be very careful using products like bleach or tint or even hair sprays 

( more info about amount of salts in hairdressing products you can find in document below, page 3 )

The truth is that there is no other way to lighten your hair you will have to use bleach if the hair was coloured dark before
The lemon juice is good but you will not get so quick result with lemon juice.

On the market you can buy bleach from Wella, Schwazkop or L'oreal
Their products contain salts but if I am not wrong those products are dust free

ok so now the conclusion

as a hairdresser
when handling the bleach or tint products use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) gloves, apron, mask

as a client
Do not use bleach on the scalp or regrowth instead do highlights and do it in salon , the hairdresser will use foils to protect your scalp
