An October 2022 study [1] conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found a link between the use of hair relaxers and the occurrence of uterine cancer in women.

According to the researchers, women who used chemical hair straighteners, also known as relaxers, more than 4 times during the previous year were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer during the course of the nearly 11-year study.

“Hazardous chemicals” identified in the report included those that are endocrine-interrupting and/or carcinogenic, which could be responsible for the link to increased uterine cancer occurrence.

Exposure to these substances “could be more concerning than other personal care products due to increased absorption through the scalp which may be exacerbated by burns and lesions caused by straighteners,” the researchers said

The findings are of particular concern for black women, who use relaxers and hair straighteners at a higher rate than other women. Roughly three-fifths of respondents who said they used chemical relaxers frequently were black women.
