What are Chemical Hair Relaxer Products?

Chemical hair relaxers are products designed to straighten naturally curly or wavy hair by breaking down and reforming the hair shaft's bonds. These products often contain chemicals like phthalates and other substances linked to a heightened risk of cancer. Users of chemical hair relaxers typically applied these products every 4-6 weeks, leading to long-term exposure.

Lawsuits have been filed against the following hair relaxer brands: 

  • Revlon

  • Organic Root Stimulator (ORS)

  • Olive Oil

  • African Pride

  • Africa’s Best

  • Just For Me

  • Profectiv MegaGrowth

  • Soft & Beautiful

  • Motions

  • Silk Elements

  • Isoplus

  • Crème of Nature

  • TCB Naturals

Effects of Chemical Hair Relaxers

Hair products often contain hazardous chemicals known as Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), which can interfere with the normal function of your body’s endocrine system. Previous studies have associated the use of hair products with a higher risk of hormone-sensitive cancers, including uterine and ovarian cancer.

According to the NIH, women who frequently used hair straightening products (defined as more than four times in the previous year) were over twice as likely to develop uterine cancer compared to non-users.
