TLDR Hair dyes can change hair color temporarily or permanently but may cause side effects like skin reactions and hair damage.

The document discusses the role of hair dyes in altering hair appearance, which is significant for body image. It explains that the cosmetics industry has developed hair dyes that can temporarily, semi-permanently, or permanently change hair color, depending on whether the dye is oxidative or nonoxidative and how deeply it penetrates the hair shaft. The text highlights the importance of dermatologists understanding the use of hair dyes, their potential side effects such as contact eczema, cancer, increased porosity, and brittleness, and how this knowledge can aid in treating hair and scalp conditions.
