What to do if i have often heard people say that dying your hair can increase your risk of cancer. is it true ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: dying of hair is a very frequent process performed on thousands of women daily. There is no evidence that one sees any evidence of malignancy in the scalp region where the dye comes in contact with or in the incidence of systemic malignancies
