Notes
Abstract: Since many people regularly dye their hair, either through a professional hairdresser or at home, concerns have arisen about possible side effects from the chemical substances in the hair dye product. Many studies have been undertaken to assess the safety of hair colorant products. In this paper, each recent relevant study is critically reviewed, summarized, and interpreted. My research method is to summarize the studies into the tables with separate categories for study types, samples sizes, genders, ethnicities, ages, allergies, and risk of specific cancer types. Using these summaries of findings, I will draw conclusions of each study. I will consider the prevailing view drawn from various studies that there is no association between using hair dye and an increased risk of cancer.
