While I'm all for the natural and chemical free. There is a minor misnomer in hair dye. The only real contact you have with dye is when it is applied so there is minimum contact. The key is the quality of dye and the application process. I recommend professionally done dying, especially if you have never done it before and go to a salon that specializes in natural and organic products. They will be the least toxic and ensure the dye has taken and residue is completely removed. Color should not be visible when washing and don't wash hair 24 hours after a dye job. Main thing is hair is dead cells so it cannot transport the chemicals into the body. It is soley when it is applied that the transition of chemicals is incurred, so make sure the one doing it is well skilled.

Good day to all,this topic comes up very often in my salon,I've worked with these chemicals since 1974 and I can tell you that they have greatly improved,first not all hair dyes are created equal,most professional products come highly tested and there different than the consumer products that are being sold in those beautiful boxes,retail stores,pharmacy,discount stores.I've have experitmented with loads of them.Most of my clients are amazed in the fact that I don't wear gloves and the fact that the products I use does not elicit any offensive odors, in fact none.Our guest can not believe it even when placed right under their noses,never have I made anyone color their hair unless they really wanted to.Most oof my clients are in the Northampton ,MA area and have been coming here for the last 25 yrs.,I would check to see that salons have the newest in the line of Professional Color Lines made especially for salons,there is a difference in how the products perform and whether the clients have any sort of reaction,again and again our guest can't believe how different this experience is and how good they feel.We want to be careful with our own health and we seek to find products that won't ruin our health or enviroment! Thanks for reading.

See how European countries try to save people. Here the only concern is if a buck is being made by the corporations

My 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. When she asked the doctor how she could have gotten it, he said possibly from years of using black hair dye. She's in remission now, thank goodness, but she refuses to dye her hair anymore. I do believe that the dye is a cause for concern.

I agree with Kim! I used blonde hair dye for many years. Then I switched to dark hair dye. A year later, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma with no symptoms and no family cancer history. I absolutely believe the dark hair dye chemicals had everything to do with my cancer diagnosis! Even though Hodgkins is a highly curable cancer, I had a tough time getting rid of it because it came back again after nine months in remission. I underwent a stem cell transplant (difficult but doable!), and I have been in remission for three and half years presently! I now do organic as much as possible and am hair dye free!! FAITH, Family and Friends help me with the rest:)!

Yikes, I get my hair dyed every few months, but this is scary stuff. I thought the chemicals they use now are much safer than what they used to use. I will probably still dye my hair but I might also consider going back to henna, although it doesn't last as long.

Hey Jersey girls...are you paying attention? LOL!

I have been a hairdresser for many years and I will tell you to PLEASE make sure that you go to someone who is concerned for your health as much as you are. I do my research and use the best possible products for my clients, I warn people all the time of harmful chemicals one of which is the lastest craze of hair straighters yet people still hear and believe what the want. Please do your research and go to a professional that you trust.

Cancer is a complex disease. Environmental factors do play a key, but there are many responsible manufacturers and professionals who do a good job. Just like it said here, check it out first. Somethings are easy to figure, if it smells or burns on contact, well run the other direction. Personally, I wear cheap clothes and spend the bucks a getting my hair done by a well, qualified professional. People can't even tell my hair is colored. It is shiny and healthy. If your hair is dry and damaged it is a good sign the product was too toxic. Live organically, cancer is complex and there are many factors that can trigger it, something as simple as not getting enough sleep.

Interestingly, I was diagnosed with PBC (disease listed in the article) in 1992. The FIRST thing I asked was how did I get it and could it have been from hair dye. Although I did go to a reputable salon,it was the only thing I did regularly. Of course, I was assured that it probably had nothing to do with it (18 years later...)It doesn't matter who you go to, I believe it's really the product used and the reaction from each individual person to the chemicals. I had to have a liver transplant in 2006. I was told it could come back. My current hair dresser had been using a product since before my transplant and just recently switched brands. Now I'm going to see if it contains that chemical they mention in the article. She uses expensive and quality products, but the bottom line is if my body doesn't react favorably to the chemical, it's not worth going through that illness again. Living as a transplant patient has it's dangers, but hey I'm blessed to be alive but I DO NOT want to get that disease again -- It was AWFUL.

I read the only hair dye that did damage was the dark colors or tints that have time to soak into the scalp. When you get the foils and do the blond dye.....even the dark......it's not even on the scalp. Most women today do the foils. As for nail polish, I only use the clear to keep my nails from peeling. And I use aloe vera for my lips. They (whoever they are) also said that bathing too much can also kill you...too much soap and too much shampoo with all those chemicals in them. So guess if you're filthy and rarely bathe, you're more healthy! My mother died at 85..........and she dyed her hair blond every month of her life from age 30 on. She had a very healthy liver ........she died because her heart became irregular and it just stopped. She had no diseases of what they just said....and she wore lipstick all the time too and nail polish! My mother-in-law........still lives ...she is 92 today. She tinted her hair brownish red from age 30 to age 92. She also wore the nail polish and the lipstick and she's very healthy....obviously.......she's still around and still kicking! No liver damage whatsoever gals! I just don't fall for everything they come up with. Those chemicals in my mother's day was much worse than anything we have on the market today.

coloring your hair causes multiple myeloma, but the hair companies, like clairol will never admit it

I have always felt that hair dye is poison, same as perm solutions. You can tell by the smell alone. I don't plan to ever color my hair, or ruin my face with botox and facelifts and such. I wish people would be truthful with the move and tv so-called stars who look hideous all botoxed up, and I wish casting directors would stop hiring them all together, so we wouldn't have to look at them or watch them "express" emotion with their silly, tight, puffed up faces. But I digress. Why don't people just let themselves AGE? Whether or not you have gray hair at 50 or 60, you are still going to die at some point.
