Unit 24 Dyeing hair

Dyeing hair has its pros and cons although a lot of people enjoy doing it. On the positive side, it can really make a big difference to the way people look. For instance, when middle-aged people begin to worry about turning gray, they can have their hair dyed. If they do, it will definitely make them look younger and help increase their self-confidence, too. On the other hand, teenagers dye their hair red or blue in order to look cool or fashionable. They hope they will become the center of attention wherever they go.

On the negative side, however, dyeing hair may cause some health problems. Like taking medicine, dyeing hair has its side effects or aftereffects. According to a medical report, using too much hair dye or or getting hair dyed too often may damage people’s hair, hurt their scalp or even cause cancer. So, before dyeing hair, people should think twice about it.
