New Study Links Hair Relaxers to Increased Risk of Uterine Cancer
A groundbreaking study published in October 2022 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reveals that long-term use of hair relaxers is associated with a significantly increased risk of uterine cancer. Women who used hair relaxers were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with uterine cancer compared to non-users, and the risk was even higher for those who used the products more frequently.
This study is the first to provide epidemiologic evidence of a definitive connection between hair relaxer use and uterine cancer, which is the 4th most common cancer among women and disproportionately affects black women.
