Hair dye

Q: I have heard it's permissible to use black dye, but I have a doubt. Nowadays we can't say what all the ingredients in the packets are. Is all type of dyes allowed?I have heard that our wudhu and bathing won't be correct since its a kind of paint. Often the hair colouring damages our hair. Knowing about such (scientific) damages, does Islam say "no" to use such types of dye.

A: Avoid using black dye.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
