Gentian violet is a dye that has been used medically for its antifungal properties but is not recommended for hair coloring. It can stain skin and hair, but the results may be unpredictable, and it is not formulated for cosmetic use. Additionally, there are potential health risks associated with its use, such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. It’s best to use products specifically designed for hair coloring to ensure safety and desired results.
