Hairdressers

One of the main causes of eczema in hairdressing is "wet work". The other main cause is contact with the chemicals in hairdressing products when shampooing, coloring, or bleaching hair, or when using cleaning products.

  • Wear disposable non-latex gloves when shampooing, rinsing, coloring, and bleaching hair
  • Change gloves in between clients
  • Make sure that your gloves are in good condition and don’t have any holes
  • Protect your hands by moisturizing them regularly. Use an emollient that is free from fragrances and preservatives
