Hair dye - Kezome

Japanese: 毛染 - けぞめ
Hair dye - Kezome
Dyeing hair or the chemicals used for dyeing hair. In Japan, this term usually refers to dyeing gray hair. In the past, Saito Sanemori dyed his hair black before going to war, and even after the Meiji period, dyeing gray hair with the oxidative hair dye paraphenylenediamine became popular as a women's hobby. In Europe and Egypt, the custom of dyeing hair was based on the diversity of natural hair colors, and after World War II, hair dyeing with many colors was also practiced in Japan. However, because Japanese hair is darkly pigmented, it is necessary to bleach it with hydrogen peroxide, which is called hair bleach. However, there is also a beauty method that achieves the same effect as hair dyeing by adjusting the amount of bleaching. Color crayons and color sprays are also used as temporary hair dyes.

Japanese:
毛髪を染めること,またはその薬剤。日本では普通白髪染 (しらがぞめ) をさす言葉であった。古くは斎藤実盛が髪を黒くして出陣したという故事もあり,明治以降も,酸化毛染剤パラフェニレンジアミンによる白髪染は女性のたしなみとして流行した。ヨーロッパやエジプトでは,自然の毛色の多様性から,色染の風習があり,第2次世界大戦後は,日本もヘアダイとして多色の毛染が行われている。ただ日本人の毛髪の色素が濃いため,過酸化水素水による脱色が必要で,これをヘアブリーチといっているが,逆に脱色を加減して毛染と同じ効果をあげる美容法もある。また一時的な毛染としてカラークレヨン,カラースプレーの使用も行われている。
