True Roots - Ronnie Citron-Fink

If you color your hair, it is worth taking the time to read this small book.  I was surprised to find out about the potential risks of many hair dyes.  That the onus is on the FDA to prove that cosmetics and hair products are unsafe rather than the beauty companies to prove that their products are safe.  Many types of colors and products sold in the US are not allowed to be used in Europe.  Hairdressers have much higher risks of certain types of cancer and auto immune disorders than the average person, which much be scary if this is the career you have chosen.  Also if we use all this toxic stuff on us, what does it do to the environment as it washes down the drain?  4/5

I could never understand why women dye their hair - though I suppose it is for variety, like changing clothes - but natural hair colour is always the most attractive.
