How can barbers protect their hands from frequent chemical exposure?

Using gloves during chemical treatments is an effective way for barbers to protect their hands from frequent chemical exposure. Gloves serve as a barrier between the skin and potentially harmful substances such as hair dyes, relaxers, and other salon products that may contain harsh chemicals. Prolonged skin contact with these chemicals can lead to irritation, allergic reactions, or other skin conditions, making glove use essential for maintaining skin health.

While hand sanitizers and lotions can contribute to hygiene and moisture, they do not provide the physical barrier that gloves offer against chemicals. Minimizing chemical use can help reduce exposure, but it is not always feasible in a salon environment where products are essential for hair services. Therefore, wearing gloves is the most reliable and effective method for protecting barbers' hands during chemical treatments.
