Yikes! Toxic Chemicals Discovered in Black Hair Care Products

According to a recent study, researchers have discovered and revealed something quite unnerving — at least to those of us who use Black hair care products. Some of these products have toxic chemicals that are linked to lymphoma, asthma, reproductive disorders and birth defects along with other health-related issues. In a study conducted by scientists from the Silent Spring Institute, 18 hair products including hot oil treatments, hair lotions, hair relaxers, leave-in conditioners, anti-frizz hair polishes and products for root stimulation was tested for 66 types of endocrine disruptors.
