I recently heard that gossip was going around that straightening your hair gives you cancer. Is this true???

No it does not cause cancer but I'm thinking the chemicals in your shampoo and other hair care products have killed a few of your brain cells

Well, that’s just a myth. You can go ahead and straighten your hair without any worries or hesitations. But make sure to really pamper your hair once the straightening/coloring is done as the natural oil on the hair is lost to a great extend during the process. To retain the health of your hair, give regular oil massage. Your hair specialist can surely guide you and tell you the do’s and don’ts. So go ahead and enjoy!

Cancer is caused by the mutation of cells so if you are ever in doubt just ask yourself if what it is has that ability. Cigarettes, yes. Hair straightener, no. But you should only use a ceramic one or you'll have seriously damaged hair after a while!

I only heard about coloring your hair after a prolonged period of time can make you susceptible to cancer (forgot the specific name) but never heard of straightening. Probably scalp problems or something to that level.
Anyways, who actually GOSSIPS about things like that.?

This is not true. You misunderstood. What they were trying to say is that IF you have cancer you should avoid straightening your hair because you will lose MORE.

You must be kidding? I'm a hair stylist and the hair is already dead when its out of your scalp! It only damages your hair, so use heat protecting products! Like Flat Iron Spray by High Hair/Wella! :)

Just with a regular flat-iron, or with chemical treatments? I would assume not. A rumor is all that it is: a rumor. Unless there is physical and scientific evidence behind it, don't believe the hype.

Doubtful. Theres no harmful chemicals and it doesn't change the genes you have into cancerous ones.

That's why we shouldn't listen to rumors! Don't you know that everything causes cancer!
No, it's just a rumor!
