does anyone know if male hair dyes are safer and contain gentler ingredients than female hair dyes, since it`s believed that
males are more prone to baldness and thinning hair than females

The "female" hair dyes are definitely better. Many male hair dyes contain metallics, or metallic salts. This means that once you dye your hair with them, it`s permanent. NOTHING (and I mean nothing) will be able to get it out. And, it often comes out wrong. If it comes out wrong, you won`t be able to bleach it or put a permanent color over it. Unfortunately, your stuck with whatever color comes out. And, if you put bleach or permanent color on it, it will start to smoke, and might catch on fire. Which is not good. So, go with the "female" hair dyes.

The male hair dyes, are usually Just for Men, Maxim for Men and Grecian 5. All of which contain metallics or metallic salts. I`ve explained that in my last post. The only safe "male" dye is Feria for Men, but it`s the same thing as normal Feria, only with men on the box.
