In this work, we present a critical analysis of the classification, physical and chemical characteristics, chemical analysis and toxicological/mutagenic potential of dyes used in the hair dyeing process. A compilation of some studies was carried out, focusing on the available knowledge about these dyes and their effects on the environment and human health.1037-1046porhair dyeschemical analysis of hair dyestoxicity of hair dyesArtigo10.5935/0100-4042.20140143S0100-40422014000600019Acesso abertoS0100-40422014000600019.pdf
