Not only can hair dye be used to create various fashionable colors, with the fast pace of life and intense work in today's society, white hair and hair loss caused by stress and busyness have increased significantly, which has brought a huge market for hair color products. There are many types of hair dyes, the most common hair dyes are oxidative permanent hair dyes, most oxidative hair dyes components have certain allergenicity, especially when hair dyes are added in excess, the probability of allergic reaction will be significantly increased, and in severe cases, scalp and surrounding skin or hands will produce erythema, edema, then papules, blisters accompanied by a large amount of exudation, etc, and the surrounding skin is obviously itchy. Therefore, for safety considerations, the detection of cosmetic hair dyes is an essential step in the production and marketing of their products.

Hair Dye Testing Items

• Sensory testing items: appearance, smell.
• Physical and chemical performance testing items: pH value, heat resistance, cold resistance, oxidant content, dyeing ability.
• Hygienic performance testing items: total number of colonies, total amount of mold and yeast, fecal coliforms, staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Heavy metal detection items: lead content, mercury content, arsenic content.

Test Method for Hair Dye

The main focus of the detection of hair dyes is the detection of aromatic amine compounds based on the content of heavy metals. The detection methods of aromatic amine compounds mainly include high performance liquid chromatography, liquid phase mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, and high performance capillary electrophoresis detection method. As for heavy metal detection methods, we can choose atomic absorption spectrometry and atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Among them, flame atomic absorption spectrometry is the most common detection method for heavy gold elements in hair dyes.
