Do you want to change up your look for winter? A new hair color is an affordable way to reinvent your image for a new season, although skepticism abounds in regards to the cosmetic change. According to a 2001 University of Southern California study in the International Journal of Cancer, overuse of permanent hair dyes increases the risk of certain types of cancer, specifically bladder cancer. After the journal published the article, some cancer experts expressed uncertainty about the conclusiveness of the USC study. In a 2005 study from the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers performed hundreds of experiments on various cohort groups and found no direct link between hair dyes and increased cancer risks. Brad Hensler, co-owner of Solution, a high-end salon in Houston that specializes in color-treated hair, adds that government regulations and the trendiness of the green movement have made permanent hair dyes safer for the body. Hensler suggests going to a salon to color your hair. “It may be more expensive,” Hensler says. “But you get better results and the salon-quality product has better ingredients than generic, over-the-counter types.”
Verdict—GOOD for you.
