Does blonde hair dye cause cancer?
I regularly dye my hair blonde, and I recently heard a worrying claim that hair dyes, especially blonde ones, might cause cancer. Is there any scientific basis to this?

We have been seeing people color their hair for decades and live healthy lives. Modern dyes are much safer now, so there is no need to worry about such extreme things.

I read that older hair dyes before the 1970s had some risky chemicals, but today's consumer hair dyes undergo very strict safety checks before coming to the market.

While cancer links are rare, severe scalp chemical burns from low-quality bleach are very real. Please see a doctor immediately if you get any oozing or scabs on your scalp.

If dye caused cancer, half of Bollywood would be in trouble by now! Just don't swallow the dye and you should be perfectly fine.
