INTRODUCTION
In addition to traditional cutting and cleaning, hairdressers perform conditioning, bleaching, dyeing and
waving of the hair. There is a range of potential health
hazards in their occupational environment, including
biological, chemical, physical and ergonomic factors.
The chemical exposure is very complex, since hairdressers are exposed to a wide variety of chemical
materials, including hair dyes, shampoos, hair conditioners, hair relaxers, permanent wave solutions,
detergents, hair spray and perfumes
