Just guessing here, but I suppose it's because the effect has less to do with where the chemicals get into the body than where they accumulate and/or have an effect. As it turns out, scalp tissue is not sensitive to those chemicals but breast tissue is. Could have been the liver or the prostate instead, but it wasn't.
- Scipio_Afri 7y agoThis is due to the tendency for bioaccumulation in lipids, which breast tissue and organs tend to have a high percentage of. I'm not an expert, just what I remember reading, so someone please chime in for the exact mechanisms. Likely to be some other contributing factors, like their role in producing breast milk biochemistry related to that (speculating: accumulates in the mother but doesn't get passed on to the child).

Also guessing here, but home hair dye is usually quickly washed off in the sink while a salon will not only wash your hair more thoroughly but they tend to wash it twice after dying. So I would assume that when a person showers after home hair dye a lot more of the chemicals are rinsed off over their breasts when compared to after a salon dye.
