The paper cites endocrine disruption, but that seems like the least of your worries.

Dyes have electron delocalization. That's why they're optically active. Those bonds will gladly participate in chemical reactions within your body. (One of the cited chemicals was a biphenyl, and looked particularly nasty.)

Chemical straightener is even worse. They're intended to break disulfide bonds, which are of critical importance in biochemical structure.

This stuff could percolate to your DNA and introduce deleterious changes.

What do you mean by that?
