Respiratory toxicity of persulphate salts and their adverse effects on airways in hairdressers: a systematic review
ObjectiveTo review the literature on respiratory effects of persulfate salts (PS) or hair bleaches in hairdressers and animal models exploring mechanisms behind PS-induced asthma.MethodsA systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines was performed. Studies published from 2000 to July 2021 that fulfilled predefined eligibility criteria were retrieved. Data were not quantitatively synthesized due to the heterogeneity of study designs, outcomes and methods.ResultsForty-two articles were included. PS are indicated as the main cause of occupational rhinitis and asthma in hairdressers, and one of the leading causes of occupational asthma in some European countries. Bleaching products are indicated as the most important factor for development of respiratory symptoms, lung function decline, and leaving the hairdressing profession. Risk estimates from a good quality prospective study showed up to 3.9 times higher risk for wheezing and breathlessness in hairdressers aged ≥ 40 years than in matched controls, and 20 times higher risk in hairdressers to develop respiratory symptoms from exposure to bleaching powder than controls. Pathophysiological mechanisms of the respiratory response to PS are not yet fully elucidated, but may include non-specific and specific immune responses.ConclusionsHairdressing is associated with a wide spectrum of respiratory adverse effects, of which bleaching products were indicated as the most hazardous. Preventive measures for reducing inhalatory exposure to PS in hair salons should be re-evaluated, including adopting occupational exposure limits at EU level, and encouraging use of safer bleach formulations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021238118.

From the kitchen to the parlor : language and becoming in African American women's hair care
When is hair “just hair” and when is it not “just hair”? Documenting the politics of African American women's hair, this book explores everyday interaction in beauty parlors, Internet discussions, comedy clubs, and other contexts to illuminate how and why hair matters in African American women's day-to-day experiences. It draws inspiration from early scholarship on both black and white women's language use while laying out a wholly new direction of inquiry grounded in multi-sited ethnography, discourse analysis, and the investigation of embodied social practice. Recognizing that, next to language itself, hair is the most complex signifier that African American women and girls use to display their identities, the book examines how hair and hair care take on situated social meanings among African American women in varied linguistic interactions—whether with one another, with African American men, or with European American women. Its use of a multifaceted approach comprehensively documents exactly how and why hair comes to matter so much in African American women's construction of their identities, and how language both mediates and produces these social meanings. The book demonstrates the symbolic and social significance of hair among African Americans in constructing race, gender, and other dimensions of identity.

P-210 Prevalence and incidence of hand eczema in hairdressers a systematic review and meta-analysis
IntroductionHairdressers are at increased risk for hand eczema (HE) due to frequent skin contact with irritants and allergens in the workplace. Individuals with (a history of) atopic dermatitis are more susceptible to develop occupational HE. This study aims to review the current prevalence and incidence of HE in hairdressers, as well as the pattern of disease onset and severity. Furthermore, to assess the contribution of atopic dermatitis on HE in hairdressers.Material and MethodsA systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies published from 2000 to April 2021 that fulfilled predefined eligibility criteria were retrieved.ResultsNine studies (n = 10 952 participants) reported on the life-time prevalence, yielding an estimate of 38.2% (95% CI 32.6–43.8). A pooled 1-year prevalence of HE amounted to 20.3% (95% CI 18.0–22.6), and a pooled point prevalence to 7.7% (95% CI 5.8–9.6). A pooled lifetime prevalence of 37.5% and 37.0% was obtained for hairdressing apprentices and fully trained hairdressers, respectively. The pooled incidence rate of HE was 51.8 cases/1000 person-years (95% CI 42.6–61.0). The prevalence of AD in hairdressers was comparable with estimates in the general population.ConclusionsThis systematic review reveals that hand eczema is common in hairdressers and starts early in the carrier, often during apprenticeship. The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in hairdressers is comparable with estimates in the general population, pointing to the occupational exposures as the main risk factor for HE in hairdressers. This emphasizes the need for targeted and collective prevention strategies in hairdressing sector, starting already during apprenticeship.
