Chemical Hair Straightening Products Linked to an Increased Cancer Risk
Recent scientific studies have found that the use of chemical hair straightening products, hair relaxers, and other hair products present an increased risk of uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, and other health problems.

Our attorneys have decades of experience securing compensation for people harmed by dangerous products. We’re here to help.
Several studies published in the past decade have found that certain hair products may increase cancer risk.
These products include:
According to complaints in recent lawsuits filed, it is alleged that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are present in chemical hair straighteners and may cause cancer.
Chemicals in Hair Relaxer Products may include:
Chemical hair straightening products may be linked to the following health conditions in frequent users:
Though no specific companies were named in the major scientific studies that outline the cancer risk from hair straightening products, several companies and products have been named in lawsuits.
Companies who have been named in hair straightener lawsuits include, but are not limited to:
Women who frequently used hair relaxers and subsequently developed uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or other related health conditions may undergo several serious medical treatments.
These medical treatments include, but are not limited to:
Hair Relaxer and Hair Straightener Lawsuits are being filed in state courts across the United States. The litigation against manufacturers of these products is growing, and lawyers from around the country are accepting clients.
The Hair Straightener Lawsuit has also crossed the border with a new class action lawsuit filed in Canadian court against L’Oreal.
The proposed class action filed in the British Columbia Supreme Court claims the products contain hormonally active and carcinogenic compounds that are not listed separately as ingredients but are instead often grouped into the “fragrance” or “perfume” categories. The claim accuses the companies of extensive misconduct, including failing to investigate reports of adverse effects, issue recalls or warn customers and health professionals.

Scientific research published over the last decade has found that women using chemical hair straighteners, hair relaxers, and other similar products experience an increased risk of developing uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids, breast cancer, and other health problems.
Renewed legal pressure is being put on companies who sell dangerous products specifically marketed for health and beauty purposes, and now legal action is being taken against companies who produce hair straighteners and hair relaxers for their failure to warn consumers of potential risks.
Previous legal action has been taken against companies whose hair products may increase breast cancer risk (Hair Products Breast Cancer Risk).
If you or a loved one used chemical hair straightening products and were subsequently diagnosed with uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or another related health problem, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Several notable studies have been published in the last decade on the links between the use of chemical straighteners and increased risk of uterine cancer, breast cancer, and other health conditions.
These studies have been organized and executed by some of the top universities and health research institutions in the world.
The National Institute Of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) conducted a health study for more than a decade called the “Sister Study“, which originally looked at risk factors for breast cancer.
Published in October 2022, “Hair straightening chemicals associated with higher uterine cancer risk” found that women who reported frequent use of hair straightening products, defined as more than four times in the previous year, were more than twice as likely to go on to develop uterine cancer compared to those who did not use the products.
Alexandra White Ph.D. (Lead Author on the Study and Head of NIEHS Environment and Cancer Epidemiology Group) stated that:
“We estimated that 1.64% of women who never used hair straighteners would go on to develop uterine cancer by the age of 70; but for frequent users, that risk goes up to 4.05%. This doubling rate is concerning. However, it is important to put this information into context – uterine cancer is a relatively rare type of cancer.”
Other studies on the link between dangerous chemicals in hair straightening products and cancer diagnoses include:
According to the Resilient Sisterhood Project, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness on the reproductive health of black women, black women are significantly more likely than white women to have advanced stages of uterine cancer and to have more aggressive tumor types (clear cell, serous, high-grade endometrioid, and malignant mixed Mullerian tumors).
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology conducted a study on the mortality rates of endometrial cancer, finding an increased risk for black women to suffer from aggressive forms of uterine cancer.
Their study identifies two (2) reasons for this increased risk of aggressive uterine cancer:
Congruently, black women use chemical hair straighteners and hair relaxers at much higher rates than white women and also at much earlier ages.
If you or a loved one used hair straightening products and subsequently developed cancer, you may be eligible to file a claim.
