For those dissatisfied with their looks, hair dye is an easy route to a more colorful life. For millions of people, a new hair color offers a chance to recapture lost youth or break away from their customary appearance doldrums. But it may also offer a chance to get cancer, according to a recent study. Chemicals in most hair dye products have been linked to allergic reactions, hair loss, itching, breathing difficulty, cancer, and even death. Health scares about hair dyes crop up regularly in the media. The more you color the greater your risk.

While the end result of gorgeous color seems worth it for many people, there is no easy way out for these chemicals once they are in the body. In order to make hair color remain, it is necessary to open the hair cuticle to lighten and then deposit the color we want. Hair color products are considered by many health experts to pose one of the biggest risks of serious emergency level problems.

Do you still remember the ordeal of getting a dye job? Recall the strong chemical smells and the long wait in the salon. What about the burning sensation or irritation when the toxic cocktail was poured over your head, en route to the latest fashion! Or perhaps the aftermath of itching, facial swelling or other allergic reactions?

One of the many toxic ingredients that have led many experts to fear that these chemicals could cause allergic reaction, cancer or even death is called p-Phenylenediamine (PPD), known by scientific names as phenylenediame, phenylenediamine dihydrochloride, benzenediamine dihydrochloride, or aminoaniline dihydrochloride. Even if hair color products claim that they do not use PPD, they might be using something more damaging like mercury, lead or other metals. If many hair care products like shampoos and conditioners contain toxic ingredients, how much worse could hair dye be since it alters and changes hair color out of its natural state. That should alarm us enough to start thinking! A US study published in 2001 found that regular use of permanent color could increase the risk of bladder cancer by up to three times if the dye was used monthly for more than 15 years. Several hair dye ingredients have been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals. In the case of 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine (4-MMPD, 2, 4-diaminoanisole), studies demonstrate that it is able to penetrate the skin. The risk associated with using hair dyes is a material fact.

To dye or not to dye? That is the question... It is advisable that you reduce the risk of cancer by delaying dyeing your hair until later in life when it starts to turn gray. Be proud of your hair color when you are young. If you keep your body detoxified and well nourished, your beautiful healthy hair will be your crown of glory.

What if hair turns gray? Is it necessary to keep it that way in order to choose health? This has been a dilemma for many health seekers.
