Were you aware of this. I was all set to put some color in my hair in the next two weeks. Now I will definately have to conduct my own reseach on the topic before doing so.
The TV report and doctor interview revealed that women who start dying in their twenties are more at risk. It also stated that women may develop lymphomas but I cant remember if for the men it was protate cancer.

Hi,
I have also heard that pregnant and lactating women should avoid colouring their due to the health risks.
It makes you wonder what other parts of everyday life could be posing a health risk without us knowing.
On the other hand though I guess you need to consider the level of risk and determine whether you want to lead a life wrapped in cotton wool based on the slightest chance that something bad might happen to you.
I don't really colour my hair very often to this does not really apply to me. I like to use natural products, there is a great range of henna products for colouring hair, I think they are the ones they first poster was referring to (apologies for not remembering your name) as they are come in a powder, however they was out very easily so beware of leaks on clothing if you go in the rain (I found this out the hard way!)

I was not aware of this but wonder if thats a big test or a little one or if it has been verified by other tests. I would like to know more bout it myself before I denied myself the right to dye my hair if I wanted to.
