Health risk is increasing due to hairstyle
You pay special attention to your hairstyle to get ready to go to the office in the morning or to get ready for a party like a wedding or a party. Many people use many electronic tools to dry, straighten or curly hair for hairstyles. It is generally believed that the heat removed from these tools (Blow-Dryer, Straightener or Curler) causes hair health, your hair may get spoiled soon. But, recently a study has come out which suggests that using such tools not only hair health, but also your own health is getting spoiled.
Scientists have warned that using such tools is directly affecting your health. By doing this, your lungs can be as much pollution as it is by standing on a busy highway. Think as much pollution can go inside you on a busy highway, the same amount of pollution can go inside you when you are using such tools on your hair in the room.
Pollution caused by hair styling
In the leadership of Professor Nusrat Jung and PhD student Jiangui Liu of Purdue University, Indiana, USA, a research team found that a 10-20-minute heat-based hair routine can drain more than 10 billion micro particles in the air. These particles can go into the lungs through breath.
These particles can cause health problems, such as difficulty in breathing, swelling in the lungs and even a decrease in memory-minded capacity. Professor Jung said, this is really very worrying. With the use of hair-care product purchased from ordinary shops, the number of nanoparticles going through breath was much more than our expectation.
How was research done?
Professor Jung said, a normal 10 to 15-minute hair-care routine was seen for research, one or more hair-care products were used, which were used by mixing hot styling tools such as flat iron and curling vends.
The experiment adopted a styling routine, using five different hair products (hair cream, hair serum, hair lotion and hair spray) and three types of tools. This was used in the same way that common people do in everyday life.
Nanoparticles up to 10 billion can be released
Professor Jung said that when this process of hair care is done, some flying and half -flying ingredients (called cyclic cyloxans) go out in the air. When they collide with the surface of hot styling machines (which can be more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit), they become steam and turn into very small nenopartals. Jung said, we measured that when people styling hair, Nanoparticles can reach 10 billion in the air. This is as much as someone suffers pollution on the heave.
He also said, this number is of particles present in the air, not its number is how many particles went inside you. How many of these particles will go inside you depends on how fast you breathe. How close to the tool, the room is ventilated or not, how hot the styling tool is, which product is and how long it was used. The professor further said, but because most people styling in less ventilated places like face and bathrooms, the risk of these particles going into the body through breath increases greatly.
What advice was given in research?
Professor Jung said, when we saw the particle coming out of the hair product during the heat for the first time, the results were already going to increase the concern. But when he looked deeply, it was found that these particles were suddenly making a very large amount of nanokana.
According to Jung and Liu, the best way is not to use hair products with heating tools. If this is not possible, then arrange air in the room. Use these tools in a ventilated place. Liu said, if you have to use hair products, use less and keep in mind that the place is ventilated.
