There is ongoing debate regarding more serious health consequences that may result from use of hair coloring.
Recent publications regarding the dangers of hair tints include:
• An FDA study that found lead acetate (the active ingredient in gradual darkening products such as Grecian formula) to be potentially toxic.
• Articles that link the development of some forms of cancer (including leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, bladder cancer, blood cancer, and multiple myeloma) with use of hair color. More specifically, prolonged use of permanent dark hair dyes can double a person's risk of getting various types of blood cancer.
