Most of us may have been told that hair dyes contain various toxic and harmful chemicals. But many of us accepts the fact and continues to have our hair dyed every few months or even weeks! That's because the thought of having our roots showing its true color appears uglier than the toxic chemicals.
But now you may want to have a second thought before heading to the hair salon. Studies by Dr. Sakabe Mitsugu, director of clinical environmental medical centre of Kitasato Inst. Hospital finds that hair colorant may propagate growth of cancerous cells. So BEWARE if you have a family history of cancer. No one know if the tiny cancer cells are already in our body and you don't want to be feeding it, making it grow quicker.
Hair Dye Promotes Lymphatic Cancer
Another research from Yale University shows that long-term use of hair dye promotes lymphatic cancer. In other words, the toxicity not only damages the hair but also the health of the individual who uses the dye.
Pregnant and lactating mothers are warned not to dye their hair, as it has been associated with many side effects of exposure. The chemicals, especially para-phenylenediamine, are readily absorbed from skin and lung.
Perhaps, it's time finding ourselves a natural hair dye sans chemicals or just letting our true color shines!
