We all love to hide the nasty white hair that sprouts out as we hit the middle age. But it is not considered wise if you keep dyeing your hair each and every time you see the silver lining. Women must actually dye their hair only two to five times in a year.

As per a study that was conducted recently, it was found that women who dyed their hair often had a greater risk of breast cancer. The studies found that there was a 14% rise in this.

The findings suggested that exposure to hair dye may contribute to breast cancer risk.

The researchers suggested that women must dye their hair less often and must switch to products with natural ingredients in them. Most of the commercial products recommend women to dye their hair every four to six weeks once.

Women were advised to cut down on the frequency they dye their hair, with the recommended limit of five times a year, equating to once every 10-and-a-half weeks.

As per the study, it is also considered better if they use natural dyes like beetroot, henna and rosehip.

According to the Cancer Council New South Wales, the International Agency on Cancer Research classifies that occupational exposure to hair dyes has a possible carcinogen, which is likely to be a cancer-causing substance.

Although further work is required to confirm on these results, the findings suggested that exposure to hair dyes may contribute to breast cancer risk.
