If you love your hairdresser, make sure they wear gloves.
A new study has found that hairdressers who work with dye and permanent wave solutions are at increased risk for certain cancers, especially of the bladder. Researchers took blood samples from hairdressers who work with these chemicals and some who don’t. Those with regular exposure to hair dyes and perms had higher concentrations of the harmful chemicals in their blood.
Another study found that some other products used by hairdressers and barbers, such as rubber chemicals and curing agents, have been found to cause tumors in lab rats. Poor air circulation in salons is also a concern for employees and customers breathing in the toxic fumes.
