Hair products like dyes and straighteners have been linked to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer. 

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.
