Nowadays, many types of chemical products are used to darken the hair. But many studies have warned that dyeing hair increases the risk of cancer.
Nowadays people start colouring their hair from a very young age, so this is a matter of great concern. Now the question arises whether modern hair colours actually cause cancer?
Dr. Chirag Shah and Tiffany Ongar, oncologists at the Cleveland Clinic, say that more than 5,000 chemicals are used to color hair. These chemicals can cause changes in hormone levels in the body, which also increases the risk of cancer.
Many studies have claimed that hair dye increases the risk of bladder cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer, blood cancer, uterine cancer, etc.
Dr. Tiffany Ongar says that most of the research done on hair dyeing has not yielded conclusive results. At the same time, considering all these things, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization have said that personal use of hair dye is not yet responsible for spreading cancer in humans.
Dr. Chirag Shah said that of course some chemicals present in hair can cause cancer but in today's era there is not a single day when we do not come in contact with elements responsible for cancer. Every day we come in contact with thousands of such substances which can cause cancer. Hair color is one of them.
If you are really worried about cancer causing elements then you have to stay away from all these ingredients. The house we live in or the office we work in has many things that can cause cancer.
