Sorry to hear this. But are you implying one single use of hair dye could have caused her cancer?

You're rolling the dice every time you do something that increases your cancer risk. Cancer doesn't have some sort of threshold where you get it.

So yeah, it could have caused it. Is it the likely cause? Maybe not.

Cancer is a numbers game. Unlike say, blackjack, you only know about certain risk factors. Many are unknown.

With skin cancer, getting a sunburn every two years triples your risk of developing melanoma. With the fairest skin types, even a single severe burn can increase risk if melanoma. Other skin cancers tend to result from constant exposure over time.

I don’t know much about this scenario with hair product. But if you have some other risk factors, it’s not unreasonable that a single exposure may result in a bad outcome.
