House of Cheatham: toxic hair relaxers

The Sister Study links chemical hair relaxers to cancer

The lawsuits against House of Cheatham started right after a major NIH study was published in October 2022. The study suggests that frequent users of chemical relaxer products may be more likely to develop uterine cancer than those women who didn't use such products. The National Institutes of Health’s major clinical study was conducted over a decade and found evidence that chemical hair relaxer products contain endocrine-disrupting and carcinogenic chemicals that can lead to the development of hormone-sensitive ailments such as:

• uterine cancer
• ovarian cancer
• endometriosis

One of the cosmetics company's most popular hair straightening products that contain carcinogenic chemicals is Africa’s Best.
