The Hidden Risks of Hair Relaxers

Send us a Text Message.

In this episode Lou and Teresa discuss an article in The New York Times which reveals that hair relaxers, commonly used by Black women, have troubling health implications. Scientific evidence now links these products to endocrine-disrupting substances associated with early menstruation, reproductive disorders, and even cancers. Unfortunately, despite these risks hair relaxers continue to be aggressively marketed to Black Women. It’s essential to raise awareness about these potential health hazards and empower individuals to make informed choices.
