Hair dye is a cosmetic used to color hair. Hair dyes are divided into temporary, semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes. Hair dyes generally contain the carcinogen p-phenylenediamine.

Hair dye comes into contact with the skin and is heated during the dyeing process, causing benzene-like organic substances to enter the capillaries through the scalp and then reach the bone marrow through the blood circulation.
