Hair salon hygiene: Hair cut or shaving is one of our everyday needs, but have you ever wondered what diseases you can be victims of while going to salon? Many people remain unaware of this danger, but the truth is that if the right precautions are not taken, then serious infectious diseases can spread from the salon.

Experts say that many diseases to skin and blood can be easily spread from one person to another by using the same razor, scissors or other equipment. In such a situation, everyone should take care of some important things while going to the salon so that the infection can be avoided.

The risk of hepatitis and HIV infection

According to doctors, these viruses can spread rapidly due to the infected person coming in contact with blood. So always make sure that the barber is using new blades.

Dirty towels, brushes and other equipment used in the salon may increase the risk of fungal and bacterial infection. Problems like ringworm, itching and boils and pimples are usually due to these reasons. So try to take your towel and comb yourself.
