My mom refuses to get her hair dyed at the hairdresser today because she has her period. She insists that getting your hair dyed whilst on your period is not good and harmful for you ?! Is this proven a proven fact or something?

I have never heard of such a thing! What in the world would your hair have to do with your period?!

Myth: Hair dye causes cancer.
Fact: Several studies have looked at this issue. Today's hair dyes are considered very safe. The most recent study found no increased risk of cancer because of hair dye use. This study was done because a previous study had indicated that there was an increased risk of bladder cancer among hair dye users. The latest study does indicate that more research should be done in relation to hair dyes and leukemias and myeloma, as there appeared to be a slight increase in risk in those areas

Yes, it's true. I also heard that you can't do anything related to hair anywear in your body during your period. I used to shave my armpits before I knew that doing so during ur period, might make them not grow at all. It has something to do with hormones. My mom once told me that it toxifies the body for some reason. It's better safe than sorry.

I have never heard of this. Really the only time you shouldnt get your hair dyed is if you are pregnant and that is only for the first few months

Naw, that's just a stupid old myth. It was probably made up as an excuse not to have to go to the hairdresser and just sit at home. But nowadays it's different.

No, sounds like superstition. Your hair holds its neutrients regardless of what time of the month it is... however hairdrying is bad for your hair... it removes natural oils from it and fries it. It's best to naturally dry your hair with a towel. Don't ring it, it causes breakage.

this is true the hormones in your body dont mix well with the chemicals in the hair dye!! thats why they say dont give kids 12 and under perms because their hormones are ready yet!!

no honey, that is an old wives tale. I have been coloring my hair for years, and have never had any problems what so ever

NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I WORKED IN A HAIR SALON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD THIS ONE.
