Hello @santam!

This is what I have researched about the harmful effects of hair dyes. New studies have linked hair dye use to a development of a certain type of cancer which is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There was a study conducted on two groups of women who has this disease and a control group. They found out that women who started using hair dye especially those dark color before 1980 had an increased risk of developing Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The strongest evidence that hair dyes can cause cancer comes from the studies of cancer rates in hairstylists. There was a study in which hairstylists that used hair dyes for five years or more are three times more likely to develop breast cancer.
Other studies that was conduced also show that hair colorists has increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukemia.
