Hair products like dyes and straighteners have been linked to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer.
Breast cancer
Hair dyes and straighteners contain chemicals that can disrupt hormones, which may increase the risk of hormone-driven cancers like breast cancer
A study of a large US population found that women who used hair dye and straighteners had an increased risk of breast cancer
Uterine cancer
A study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that women who frequently used chemical hair straighteners had an increased risk of uterine cancer
The risk of uterine cancer for women who used hair straighteners more than four times in the previous year was more than twice as high
Ovarian cancer
Epidemiologic studies have linked hair product use to an increased risk of ovarian cancer
Bladder cancer
Meta-analyses have linked hair dye and gel use to an increased risk of bladder cancer in hairdressers
Hair products can contain chemicals like formaldehyde.
Some of the most common toxic ingredients to avoid in hair care products include sulphates, parabens, phthalates and formaldehyde. If you see any of these ingredients listed, it may be worth considering switching to a more natural product.
