Occupational contact dermatitis is common amongst hairdressers. In this population-based study, 193 trainee hairdressers and 184 practising hairdressers completed a questionnaire detailing their knowledge of skin hazards, the skills they practised and the frequency of glove use. Knowledge of skin hazards was poor in both groups. While up to 70% of participants correctly identified hairdressing chemicals as potential skin hazards, less than 15% correctly identified the role of wet work. Only a small proportion recognized that hairdressing chemicals could cause allergy. Contrary to findings elsewhere, less-experienced hairdressers often handled chemicals, particularly hair dyes containing p-phenylene diamine. The use of gloves was inadequate, particularly when performing work at the basin, which both junior and senior hairdressers did on a regular basis. Recommended strategies for the prevention of hand dermatitis in hairdressers include improved student education, appropriate glove use and the application of after-work moisturizing creams.
职业性接触性皮炎在美发师中很常见。在这项基于人群的研究中，193名实习美发师和184名从业美发师完成了一份问卷，详细说明了他们对皮肤危害的了解、所练习的技能以及使用手套的频率。两组对皮肤危害的了解都很差。虽然高达70%的参与者正确地将美发化学品识别为潜在的皮肤危害，但只有不到15%的人正确识别了湿作业的作用。只有一小部分人认识到美发化学品会引起过敏。与其他地方的研究结果相反，经验不足的美发师经常接触化学品，尤其是含有对苯二胺的染发剂。手套的使用不足，尤其是在水槽处工作时，初级和高级美发师都会经常在水槽处工作。预防美发师手部皮炎的推荐策略包括改善学生教育、正确使用手套以及下班后涂抹保湿霜。
