People who frequently use chemical hair straightening products and have developed cancer may want to know if chemical hair straighteners cause cancer. Various medical studies show that some hair straighteners have chemicals that expose women to higher risks of developing uterine cancer. Although a recent lawsuit against L’Oreal had put the company’s products in the spotlight, products manufactured by other cosmetic companies may raise users’ risk of developing cancer as well.
A recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that women who regularly used chemical straighteners had more than two times greater risk of developing uterine cancer than those who never used the products.
Available evidence suggests L’Oréal knew that its hair straightening products had harmful chemicals by 2015. The company did not take any reasonable steps to warn users of the dangerous effects of its products.
