Hair Replacement - Adhesive Health Risks

 

If you are considering wearing a Hair system or already wear a hair system,

you need to be aware of these important health risks concerning the use of

Hair system adhesives.

 

- Adhesive products sold for use with Hair Systems contain chemicals that

are known carcinogens. Commonly used ingredients are benzene, formaldehyde

and many other volatile organic compounds. They may also contain Methyl and

ethyl cyanoacrylates that release formaldehyde when they degrade. The vapors

can be noxious if inhaled.

 

- Adhesive products sold in the Hair Replacement industry commonly do not

list ingredients or health warnings. This despite that in addition to

increasing your risk of cancer these products may cause a wide variety of

short and long term side effects. A typical warning that is commonly not

passed on to the customer is "This product can cause kidney, liver, lung

damage".

 

- The FDA has not approved any type of glue for use with hair systems. This

includes liquid skin, tape, bonding agents and glue referred to as surgical

and medical.

 

- There are no long term or short term studies on the health effects of

applying these adhesives to your head. In fact they were never intended to

be used by a person every single day for 20-30 years.

 

-When you are exposed to the sun so is your hair system adhesive which will

react with UV (ultraviolet radiation) and become highly toxic. When this

type of toxicity occurs, it enters the body and goes directly to various

organs and can be extremely damaging or even fatal.

 

- Drinking alcohol, sweating or if the glue comes into contact with other

chemicals may increase your skin absorption and therefore increase your

health risk.

 

- The Hair replacement industry will use deceptive practices and phrases to

fool customers in believing their products are safe. This includes referring

to their products as FDA approved or making claims their glue is medical or

surgical grade when they are not.

 

- An MSDS data sheet does not guarantee the product is safe nor does it

indicate FDA approval. However an MSDS data sheet may contain valuable

information concerning the health risks, ingredients, reactivity and side

effects. Therefore always request one prior to purchase. Many companies

however will refuse to provide you this information. If your Hair

Replacement company is unwilling to provide you a copy, take your business

elsewhere. They are putting your health at risk. In addition if you ever end

up in the emergency room with a severe reaction, the first thing the doctor

will need is the MSDS sheet.

 

- Severe allergic reactions can occur from use of these products. Therefore

as a precautionary safety measure have your Dermatologist perform a 48 hour

skin patch test to determine possible sensitization to these products.

 

- All adhesives contain ingredients that may cause skin irritation.

 

- Latex adhesives can also create allergic reactions and has the additional

handicap of creating heightened skin sensitivity with each successive

application.

 

- Acrylic and Silicone based adhesives should never be used directly on

skin.
