What's an MRI?
An MRI is a machine that takes pictures of the inside of your body to help doctors see if everything is okay.
Some hair dyes contain metals that can react with the MRI machine's magnets.
When hair dye reacts with the magnets, it can make the MRI pictures blurry or hard to read.
It's important to tell your doctor if you've dyed your hair before an MRI so they can get the best pictures.
If you've recently dyed your hair, your doctor might suggest waiting or using a different imaging method.
If you're curious about how hair dye can affect an MRI, ask your doctor or a healthcare provider.
If you want to change your hair color, you can try temporary hair dyes that don't contain metals.
Learning about how things like hair dye can affect medical tests helps you take care of your health better.
