LINK FOUND BETWEEN CURRENT HAIRSTYLE TREND AND CANCER
Thinking of styling your hair into a fashionable front poof? Think again. New research suggests women wearing this new “do” are at a greater risk for cancer.
A recent University of Chicago study looked at 142 women aged 18-34 over nine years. Those who wore their hair in a front poof three or more days a week were twice as likely to develop cancer as those who only wore the style once a week or less. Women who did not style their hair into the poof were six times less likely to develop cancer.
The scientists who performed the study are unsure of exactly why these women are at such high risk, but preliminary study of the data suggests that they suffer from low self-esteem, chronic disastrous hook-ups, and what psychologists call “daddy issues.” All of these are causes of high stress, which is a known cause of cancer. An overwhelming percentage of the women who wore poofs three or more times a week also had herpes, giving validation to the common colloquialism “skank poof.”
More research is necessary to determine if the risk of cancer is only heightened by the skank poof, or if other hairstyles could be to blame. One of the leaders of the poof study said the group is already studying mullets and faux-hawks. They expect results of these studies to be released within the next five years. Scientists and hairstylists hope to use this information in cancer and douche bag prevention.
