I was a hairdresser for over 40 years. I have had breast cancer. Most box dyes and professional hair colours, take your breath away, the smell is so strong . Permanent wave lotions and straightening products are also so strong. I have also noticed that the majority of salons l have worked in or have been a client are very poorly ventilated. I think there should be regulations for this for staff and clients.
I only use beeswax in my hair and coconut oil! When I watch the movie coming to America, and he said, I only put juices and berries in my hair. Everyone thought that was a joke. It was really a message
I am a hairdresser with over 25 years experience in beauty industry. I am shocked how much this industry change in the last 10 years: horrible chemicals, not just in color, but in shampoo too!! I am going more holistic now ; I recommend my clients to add essential oils and herbs into their products but yes, unfortunately it’s a different story with colour services… I wish they would make more healthier chemistry For colour services. And yes, there is more chemicals in darker shades.
I finally gave up the battle and stopped coloring my hair. I had a severe reaction to an over-the-counter hair dye for which my doctor put me on steroids to suppress the reaction. What a mess. Anyway, my hair sure feels a lot healthier and thicker now. ✌️
Shirley I had the same, had to go to a Dermatogist my scalp had a drainage coming out if it. I was so scared I thought I was going to die I was on antibiotics. He said I can't dye my hair anymore this will happen so now I wear a wig and if looks so real because the middle part looks like my own scalp.
Everything causes cancer these days. I eat a wholefoods diet, use natural products and live as healthy as possible. A bit of hair dye is unlikely to be the thing that kills me, a few times a year. Live your life as best as you can, not walking on glass over every pleasure.
I was never a fan of needless additives/enhancements of any kind like hair dyes, makeup, dyes or perfumes, artificial colors or flavors. I'm a chemist so I'm naturally suspicious. Wade through a stack of Safety Data Sheets and you start wondering if it's worth the risk. Over the years plenty of products have contained ingredients that have been just fine-until they weren't. Not everything is a cancer risk, to be sure, but sometimes it takes years before the danger becomes apparent and even longer before a change is made. I'm not eager to be part of that data set. I'll be a grey-haired, unscented plain Jane getting my single-ingredient food from the garden and produce/grain/legume aisles.
I'm a chemist student and have the same Idea. There's also the cumulative effect of ALL this stuff, specially fragrance. I though it was an exagerated fear on my part due to lack of knowlege typical of a first year grad student, since most chemist fellows don't seem to care and always diminish suspicions about this things. Is nice to see someone more experienced with the same view I have.
@@AnaSchultz-kx9tq You raise excellent points-the cumulative effect and any interactions. Scents in particular concern me as they're aromatic compounds. Anything based on benzene gives me pause. When you can smell someone's dryer sheets three doors down it's disconcerting. Another consideration is any interaction in our bodies, an incredibly complex biological system that's hardly predictable in the face of exposure to functional groups it hasn't evolved with, not to mention in modern combinations and concentrations. You're smart to be wary. If you're going to do lab work small exposures add up. Wear the PPE and use the hoods. And this is coming from someone who still pipets by mouth (I know, but it's faster... low conc aqueous solutions usually) so I'm hardly a Nervous Nellie. Call it a healthy respect. Best of luck with your studies and wishing you a long, safe, productive career and life.
That's why I use henna and indigo and made my mom to transition to henndigo too. Hate the process as it's extremely tedious but love the results. Won't use hair dye until they come up with something safer
@@wellthiif you know what you’re doing and get it from a trusted source you’ll be okay. The biggest thing to worry about is potentially higher lead levels. But most reliable brands are completely fine.
I started to color my hair, only did it 6 times or so,at first I didn’t know what was wrong,I colored before I went for the.weekendI was flatlined I had no emotion ,couldn’t do anything Couldn’t eat stayed in bedThe next my sons wedding,same spaced out,by the end of nite my ankles were twice their size got helped to car stayed in bed.didn’t know what next time I knewMy head swelled up like elegant ER anafalatic shock.these were the best products /hair dressers tried henna best product,it is also toxic!! Stay away from color! It will show up somewhere..skin ur organs cancer
Hairdressers are exposed to much more than hair dye. Hair sprays, hair additives, a lot of perfumes, shampoos, and as you said, often have very poor ventilation. I now use the most non chemical type, only available at health food stores or online, (that does not have that chemical that was highlighted ) and seem to not have negative reactions, but am very strict about all natural make up and no purfumes. I do miss hairsprays etc, as I have fine hair and it is quite a practical assistance.
I bought henna from the health food store and used it to color my hair but when I washed it, it didn't color my hair at all. I just wasted my time and money☹️
@@mayanne8938 how disappointing! I have no idea about henna, so no idea what happened. I have used 2 least toxic types for over 10 years, generally as a blonde highlight. 1) 'tints of Nature' from UK 2) Herbatint- this is from Italy and I think it has been around for 30 years with an excellent reputation. They have both been great for me and come in normal range of colours. I do wash and condition with my own 100% natural and fragrance free products. At least twice through after. The ones in box have a tiny bit of added purfum. I cannot handle any chemical smells well, but cope with the leftover of these products for the days after without a problem. 2 days later I wash again and its is all gone. I am in Australia , so they are imported by more health food stores or online. Good luck if you wish to try these. They tend to work pretty well the same as other take home hair dyes.
I never colored my hair and went gray in my early 40s - I was swimming against the tide as I was the only one in my local age group to do so. I’m often asked if I’m my kid’s grandmother instead of their mother.
Yes, people stupidly equate grey hair with old age even though 90 percent or thereabouts have their first grey hairs by the time they are thirty. It’s the old coverup story. Dye it/ hide it and you can pretend you don’t have it.
Lol that's why I don't want to go full gray I'm still single. Not trying to be the grandma in my young 40s. It's ruff growing up... I just want to be a toys R us kid. Lol
@@Kikii1love I said it was stupid because I believe dyeing your hair is obvious, fooling no one, does damage, ( unless you use henna which I did at your age) and perpetuates the fear of ageing, a natural part of the life cycle.
Thanks a lot. Due to exorbitant hair cutting price, and also the risk of financial scam by the hair cutting houses in my country, which ask you to charge for a year of service but close their business within less than a year, I stopped going to the hair cutter altogether. I do my own hair cutting, even though I was laughed at by others. It seems that avoiding going to the hair cutting house forever is a very wise decision. I am glad that I also avoid so many carcinogenic manmade hair chemicals. God bless!
This is my question, too. I remember learning that bleaching and light dye are safer than dark dye. And highlights are safer because the dye doesnt usually touch your skin much.
i had a terrible reaction to overtone which is marketed as being safer. after that i switched to henna but it’s such a pain that i gave up on that too. cute hats, i guess?
Instead of dye spend your money on an excellent haircut. I go to a shop that doesn't do color or perms. Both my hairdresser and i are healthier for it.
I color only 2-3X a year. A Natural blonde now in my 60s, I use hair dye without ammonia or peroxide to stay blonde. I never, ever clean off the dye down my body such as a showering does. I wash it off over my head in the sink. Intuitively, I don’t want it going down my body - absorbing into my skin throughout my body (showering.) My advice is to dye your hair with the best product possible; reading and researching ingredients. They do have organic hair dyes. Every little bit helps. Also, choose a hair dye as close to what your hair color would be naturally (dark gray = black) white = platinum blonde) etc.
English und Deutsch I have only ever dyed with vegetable dye, this was in a tube and was easy to apply, no chemicals and has dyed my 90% grey hair, but you had to pre-dye with red, so that in the second pass with brown, so that the color is also dark, you have to let both work for at least 4 to 5 hours, with thick hair possibly even longer. Just try out how long it takes for the hair to be colored enough. As I no longer feel like it, I no longer dye my hair. Ich habe immer nur mit Pflanzenfarbe gefärbt, diese war im einer Tube und ging gut aufzutragen, keine Chemie und hat meine 90 % grauen Haare gefärbt, allerdings musste man mit rot vorfärben, damit im zweiten Durchgang mit braun, damit die Farbe auch dunkel wird , muss man beide mindestens 4 bis 5 Stunden einwirken lassen, bei sehe dickem Haar evtl. noch länger. Einfach ausprobieren, wie lange es dauert bis die Haare kräftig genug gefärbt sind. Da ich jetzt keine Lust mehr habe, färbe ich nicht mehr.
I don't dye my hair because it's messy if i do it myself and expensive if I go to a stylist, doesn't make me look better, but this is another good reason
I read once that Jackie O’s hairdresser said he was wracked with guilt when he learned that the dark hair dye he used on her for decades was possibly linked to cancer. Since she died of cancer, he hoped nothing he had used contributed to her cancer. But the link wasn’t known back then. I stopped using hair dye after I developed thyroid disease. Haven’t used color since. Why tempt fate.
This is just hair dyes. What about the dyes used in dishes, etc. I understand blue dyes on dishware is higher in chemical contamination. Never dyed my hair, never used cosmetics very long. Our skin is a major organ, what are we doing to that with cosmetics..
Orange, red, yellow, blue/green or jet black are not everyone's cup of tea sadly. I tried these years ago and they made my hair feel good and strong but the colours were not suitable for me. Wish there was something ashy 🙄
In his book’ HOW NOT TO AGE’ he recommends adding 10 drops of rosemary essential oil to 1 ounce of your favorite lotion and apply it to your scalp 2X daily to stimulate hair growth.
I was a hairdresser for 45 years. I was just diagnosed with GBM, an aggressive type of brain cancer. I am the 3 rd hairdresser I know that got a brain tumor. I really wonder if the chemicals are to blame. I had to retire instantly!

Thanks for sharing...the facts on hair dye. Base on my experience i used a hair dye which had wheat, and it brought on my allergy. So it can be possible what ingredients is put into dye can affect people, and get them sick.
Hairdye makes me feel like I look better. My face is like you should have grays. I don't want to look to vulnerable. Maybe lift weights more. Living alone is stressful at times. LA.
That's very different. I know in the past there was concern about black henna causing cancer because of the additive dye to make it black, but regular red henna is safe as far as I know. I used it for over a decade.
I don't dye my hair anymore but I worry about when it will start getting gray because even if I will likely keep it gray once I'm much older, I don't wanna have gray hair in my 40s or 50s. So I don't know what to do then because I heard henna dyes can contain heavy metals?
I use all natural henna dye. You can get light, med, dark colors & when you save abit for your roots, you can touch up as often as you need without damage or chemicals.
There are so many gorgeous wigs/hairpieces now , in great colors..not how wigs used to be. May be a good option? Wigs can be a good way to grow out gray, when you are ready for that. An easier transition, and you can get wigs with different percentages of grey to help with getting used to change
I got a perm in 6th grade in 1988 and it never went back to normal straight. I think it must have damaged my dna permanently. I also read the same thing happened to actor Matthew Mcconaughy.

Annahopp: Don’t be ridiculous. He’s a scientist, not a beautician.
The unfortunate truth. 😢
I was lucky i suppose i havent gone completely grey at the age pf 78 but if i had gone grey earlier i woulnt have dyed my hair amd i dont now
I just hope they are safe now cause sadly its come time for me to need it
I think hair dyes accelerate greying. So I switched to Henna
hair dye caused my severe hair loss, vertigo, skin reactions ... stop using petrochemicals!
I do not think it has anything to do with diet. Hollistic derms should comment on this.
This isn't talking about diet. ?
@@tamcon72
Hair dye ?
@@MakeUpTraffic Yes, I don't understand why you are bringing up diet, as the video does not bring up diet.
THINK about it. Using chemicals on your hair equals using it on your whole body.
They may get cancer but look good doing it
Cancer doesn't look good on anyone.
Beauty at any cost?
I got a perm in 6th grade in 1988 and it never went back to normal straight. I think it must have damaged my dna permanently. I also read the same thing happened to actor Matthew Mcconaughy.
I got many perms in high school and they never took. My hair would just go straight in a few days. I doubt it changed your dna at all.
So, pretty much this post is irrelevant to anyone now.
I've never coloured my hair
Eat lots of sweet potatoes, it can retain your original natural hair colour.
