Abstract: In order to study the genotoxicity of different kinds of hair coloring creams on root tip cells, the micronucleus test technique on the root tip cells of Vicia faba L. was used to investigate the genotoxicity of 3 different kinds of hair coloring creams(T, S and H) of varied concentrations. Micronucleus rate, chromosome aberration rate and pollution indexes were calculated. The results showed that the micronucleus rate of 3 kinds of hair coloring creams were both first increased and then decreased along with the increasing of the treated concentration. The dye concentrations of the peak number of micronuclei of 3 kinds of coloring creams was 0.10 g/L (T), 1.00 g/L (S) and 4.00 g/L (H). The 3 kinds of coloring creams had a certain genotoxicity under certain concentration ranges. And the chromosome aberration rate was generally positively correlated with micronucleus rate.

Key words: hair coloring creams, Vicia faba L., root tip cells, micronucleus, chromosome aberration, genotoxicity
