Hair Dyeing: A new order of beauty or a disorder to force beauty?

Beauty as a natural phenomenon creates the ground for self acceptance and literally commands attraction to the outer world. As it is within our dear hearts, we all adore beauty, pray for its presence within us and inwardly feel well presented to the world due to its possession in us. In it been a natural identity which acts not of force content, beauty spreads its wings all wide to every single being which surely gives the bold impression that we all possess the breaths of beauty.

To how much we believe all beings are gifted with a special appearance, the acceptance or rejection of this is a personal matter. Going back to the genesis of it all, man was created according to the image of the creator, the creator is beauty Himself as He is the one who creates beauty, so being of His image surely connotes that we are also of beauty, we are beautifully created in God’s image of beauty. Both the inward and outward look of man is created out of the pot and instruments of beauty.

Coming to the early years and middle ages, the acceptance of been beautifully created was of great percentage as the natural looks they behold were very much accepted.

We do not see artificially enhanced beauty back then, they happily gave a complete nod to how wonderfully made they were. As we move to the teen centuries, our forerunners began to gradually reject the natural beauty as the creation of man-made beauty enhancements began to surface, an example of this in the use of eye lashes (tiro). With this, the rise to the fall of natural beauty acceptance began to dramatize in our society.

Nowadays, beauty is far lost within our midst as all we see now are impression to force beauty upon oneself. Not that the real beauty gifted to us is totally lost or no more gifted to us but, the acceptance of old towards this gift is long lost in which all we parade, want and glorify now is how to reshape, reform and remake the natural beauty which is just an act to force beauty upon oneself. Lots of this we do in bleaching of skin, barbing of attractive hairstyles, eye lashes, superficial appearance in terms of cosmetics and hair dyeing.

Of a great importance to this context is why we will really dwell on hair dyeing. From the last decade to this time, its usage has been gradually increasing amidst the youth world and things exercised by the young group grow at a rapid rate to becoming widely acceptable as a norm. The picture of hair dyeing we formally had was the application of black dye to hair so as to make it appear darker and bold. But now, different colors of it we see as it’s now widely used by both male and female category.

The act of hair dyeing is what the current phase pictures as a new order of beauty. With this, they feel much acceptable by themselves and the society, they feel among and well fit in to their groups and they also feel they are gradually or fully matured. During the last festive period, lots of coloured hairs our eyes behold which is saddening and baffling. You tend to see a female cutting her hair to a low cut style or to an ‘obama’, ‘afro’, or ‘punk’ hairstyle so as to apply a coloured dye to part of the hair or the whole part of it. It’s quite heartbreaking that the effects of this on themselves they know not.

Let’s have an imaginary look on this, to actually have something that changes the colour of the hair and cleans off not (even when washed with water) until the hair is been cut off really tell of how strongly made the hair dye is. The only ingredient as strong and powerful as that is chemical. As much as we apply this hair dye to the hair, the chemicals stay there, breaths in its decomposition into the hair skull cells and gain entrance into the body systems. Without a healthy practitioner telling much of this, one should actually know that this process smells deadly and it’s a threat to the human body system together with its health status.

Studies have shown that hair dyeing can cause itching, skin irritation, redness, or swelling on the scalp or other sensitive areas of the face and neck.

When the hair dye chemicals make contact with eyes, it can lead to conjunctivitis, pink eye, inflammation and severe discomfort.

Also, asthma is one of the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to hair dyes. Continued inflammation of the chemicals in hair dyes can lead to coughing, wheezing, lung inflammation, throat discomfort, and asthma attacks. Hair dyeing also leads to cancer as its chemicals contains compounds that is carcinogenic (cancer-causing).

We all are wonderfully made and beautifully created by the God of beauty Himself, the acceptance of this natural beauty is the acceptance of God while its rejection through the application of artificial beauty enhancements is the rejection of the creator in our lives.
