Hair Care or Health Scare?

I decided to begin this HEALTH IN THE NEWS section upon reading about two concerning news items involving hair care products. Because what we put on our bodies is as important as what we put in them, being informed about ingredients and their impact on our health, can lead us to make more educated hair and body care product choices/purchases, leading to an overall healthier life.

If we can go to space and back in just minutes, surely creating healthier, while still effective, hair and skin care products must be possible.
