"International Journal Cancer 109: 581-86, 2004] It's possible the hair care industry knows why hair dye is linked with cancer since a recent study shows that the increased risk for Hodgkin's lymphoma was only found among women who started using hair coloring products prior to 1980. [American Journal Epidemiology 159: 148-54, 2004] It's possible some carcinogens have been removed from currently made products.

"Cosmetics chemists are not sure what makes these hair dyes less stable—it could be they are more affected by sunlight or shampooing—but regardless of the reason, fading is part of the struggle of hair coloring. You can't make dark hair color more than four shades lighter without bleach. Whether it is your natural color or a dyed shade, if you want to lighten the color of your hair significantly you must strip (bleach) out the darker shade you are trying to change. You can't change a dark shade of hair color, natural or dyed, to a lighter shade without first performing this fundamental step." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.) "A perm and a color job add up to a lot of technical work, plus the intensive hair treatments the hair will require if it is to endure your fashion indulgence. hair coloring, as well as perms or relaxers, are treatments that require an alkaline base to make a permanent change in the color or shape of the hair. That process causes the hair shaft to swell, making it more porous and damaging the cuticle. Doing that to the hair twice is twice as damaging. And because hair isn't alive, waiting won't heal it. Damaged hair cannot be repaired." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)
