I'm not well-versed in the world of hair dyes, but if they are anything like other beauty products, then I'm sure they can be. There has been research coming out in recent years exposing certain, synthetic chemicals as being carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and endocrine-disrupting (thus messing up hormones); so, make sure to look up the ingredients in whatever product you buy (not just limited to hair dye, but shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc).

many beauty products (esp. in USA) have toxic chemicals where overexposure to the body can prove dangerous. I dye my hair often, but I try to keep it minimal by wearing plastic to protect my skin and not dying my roots near the head to avoid scalp exposure, which is most dangerous.
