Is your hair dye killing you? It might be killing you, your hairdresser and your colorist. Studies show that hairdressers who use light colored hair dyes and or hair waving products on clients had elevated levels of carcinogens (cancer-causing compounds) in their bloodstream. Hairdressers are at higher risk for bladder cancer and this study might help to narrow down the specific chemicals that cause cancer.
Hairdressers were compared to women who used personal hair dye at home and non-dye users. None of the participants smoked. Hairdressers had more of the carcinogenic compounds in their blood like toluene a known carcinogen which should be kept at the lowest possible exposure level.
