According to a recent study, about 33% of women over 18 and more than 10% of men over 40 in Europe and the United States dye their hair. Because hair dye is so commonly used, many of my patients have questioned its impact on their health.

Even with the increasing availability of plant-based hair dyes and the wide range of dyes - whether permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary - there are some known risks and uncertainties associated with using hair dye.

Today, I’m sharing the latest research on the effect of hair dye on thyroid health and overall well-being.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Types of hair dye and prevalence of use
- Key ingredients in hair dye and the mechanisms of toxicity associated with them
- Natural hair dyes and their comparative safety
- What research shows about hair dye and autoimmunity
- Hair dye as a contributing factor in hair loss
- The potential impact of hair dye on thyroid health
- Increased risk of health complications for hairdressers and barbers working with hair dye
- The link between hair dye use and breast cancer risk
- How you can reduce the risk of health issues due to hair dyes

As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!
