hair dyes and cancer.
I don't use any hair dyes, because I wear wigs that are my natural color and looks great.
I have read in medical joinals that permanent dyes, especially dark color have a toxic ingredient that can cause cancer of the bladder. I can relate this to an aunt I HAD WHO WAS A HAIR DYE SPECIALIST AND HAD FOUGHT WITH BLADDER CANCER FOR 15 YRS BEFORE SHE DIED AT AGE 88. THE ARTICLE FOUND LIGHT CLORS OR ALTERNATIVE ,HENNAS WERE SAFER THAN THE FAMOUS PERMANANT DARK DYE COLORS, so do yoir own search before starting to color.
Hope you figure this all out. Paula Young has given me my hair back, and I just order it in my color and style it a little. It's very comfortable all year round;; no kidding.
Hugs Christine
