News Topical, Digital Desk : Nowadays, everyone wants to go to the parlor and get their hair silky, shiny, and perfectly straight. Hair treatments like keratin, smoothing, and Brazilian blowout are all the rage these days, but have you ever considered that the desire to look beautiful could land you in a hospital bed?
The hobby of hair straightening may damage your kidneys.
According to Dr. Brijpal, many hair straightening products contain a harmful chemical called glyoxylic acid. While this chemical may straighten your hair, it can also seriously damage your kidneys.
The use of chemicals is increasing the risk of nephropathy
The use of this chemical can lead to a serious problem called nephropathy . Its effects gradually cause kidney function to stop, and the patient suffers from acute renal shutdown. Simply put, the kidneys fail, requiring dialysis.
The frightening case of Israel
The dangers of this chemical can be understood from a case in Israel. Doctors reported that a 15-year-old girl there used this chemical to straighten her hair. Shortly afterward, she complained of severe stomach pain. When she went to the hospital, doctors diagnosed her with acute kidney injury.
Keep these things in mind before getting your hair straightened.
The most worrying thing is that this chemical called glyoxylic acid is banned in most of the countries of the world, but it is still easily available in India.
Therefore, doctors strongly advise that whenever you use any chemical for hair straightening, ask for the name of the chemical first and check it yourself. If the product contains glyoxylic acid, you should avoid using it at all.
