I have heard rumors hair dye can cause cancer. i use clairol nice and easy. should i be worried?

No: Since the 1970s, there has been little to no data to suggest any increase in cancer risk with hair dye. If there is a risk, it is likely very, very small. Driving a car would likely carry a much higher risk, to put it in perspective.
