Why do Hair Relaxers Increase the Risk of Cancer?

Individuals use hair relaxers to straighten their hair temporarily. These chemicals can break down certain protein bonds to accomplish this goal. However, some of them also qualify as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Your body can absorb EDCs through burns, cuts, sores, and lesions. Once absorbed, these chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system, affecting hormone production and use in the body and increasing the odds of developing estrogen-dependent cancers.

If you develop one of these cancers after using hair relaxers multiple times a year, you may qualify to file a mass tort claim.
