Hello doctor, I wanted to know does smoothening or cystine treatment have any adverse effects on hair or health in long run as I have heard it leads to cancer. I am 33 and hair has started greying all of a sudden all over, can chlorine water can be a reason as I started swimming last month.

Hello lybrate-user. All these modern treatment use high amount of chemicals to show good results. As we are just concentrated on how good it looks. And do not know the side effects. Better rely on traditional treatment to stop greying. You can take homoeopathic treatment. You can consult me at Lybrate. Till then start using jaborandi q mixed with coconut oil to apply.

There is no side effect of smoothening or cystine treatment of hair. There is no proof that it leads to cancer and chlorine water is not the cause.
