Karachi: (RightNow) Experts have issued important guidelines on the use of hair dye during or after cancer treatment. They warn that haste can be harmful and caution is essential.

Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation affect hair roots. As a result, new hair is fragile and the skin becomes sensitive.

According to experts, using permanent hair dye during and after chemotherapy can cause skin irritation and allergies. It can also impact healthy hair growth.

Research institutions have noted that frequent use of permanent hair dye can increase cancer risk, especially in women who use it repeatedly.

Experts recommend avoiding chemicals for six months post-chemotherapy and using natural colors. Consulting doctors is crucial to ensure recovery is not affected.
