10 Worst Shampoos You Can Buy That Cause CANCER | The Warehouse Salon

by Brianna Thompson

Recently, I came across a TikTok video discussing the top 10 worst shampoos that can potentially lead to cancer. The video listed a number of shampoos and conditioners that contain harmful chemicals, including dioxane and ethylene.

Dioxane is a chemical that's commonly used as a solvent in personal care products, while ethylene is sometimes used as a surfactant in shampoos and conditioners. Both chemicals have been linked to potential health risks, including cancer. Some of these popular brand names will shock you! Even certain high-end brands are not suitable for your hair care routine. This is why it is important to find products known to have clean ingredients and are cruelty free. Luckily, we have plenty of options here at The Warehouse Salon, simply call or message us on Instagram @thewarehouse.salon or my personal page @themanebri for suggestions or guidance!

While it's important to note that the risk of harm from these chemicals is generally considered to be low, it's still concerning to have potentially toxic chemicals in our hair care products. As a hairstylist, my top priority is to choose the best products for my clients that will promote healthy hair and scalp, while minimizing the risk of potential harm from harmful chemicals. Even if you have touching getting assistance from a professional, make sure to do your research on ingredients to help you on your hair journey. You can refer to my blog called Which Ingredients to Avoid In Your Shampoo.

In conclusion, it's always a good idea to be mindful of the ingredients in the products that we use on our hair and bodies, and to choose products that are free from harsh chemicals and made with natural, plant-based ingredients whenever possible. If you have any concerns about the products that you're using, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.
