A new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and funded by the National Institutes of Health suggested that frequent users of chemical hair-straightening products may be more likely to develop uterine cancer than those who didn't use those products.
The following manufacturers have been named in lawsuits alleging that the companies knew or should have known about their health risks while they kept the products on the market:
- L’Oreal;
- SoftSheen Carson;
- Strength of Nature;
- Dabur; and,
- Namaste Laboratories.
According to the study, chemical hair straighteners typically contain products that are known endocrine disrupters and can affect hormone-sensitive cancers.
The products include parabens, bisphenol A, metals, and formaldehyde, according to researchers in the NIH study.
Chemical relaxers can cause lesions and burns on the scalp, making it easier for them to then be absorbed into the body.
Hair Relaxer Study Links to Cancer
A major study by the National Institutes of Health revealed that frequent use of chemical hair-straightening products could put women at a higher risk of developing uterine cancer than those who did not.
The decade-long study tracked 33,497 the use of hair dyes, straighteners, relaxers, or pressing products by women in the United States between the ages of 35 and 74.
About 60% of the participants self-identified as Black women in the study, which was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The study found that several chemicals found in straighteners—including parabens, bisphenol A, metals, and formaldehyde—might possibly contribute to the increased uterine cancer risk observed.
Chemical exposure from hair product use, especially straighteners, could be more concerning than other personal care products due to increased absorption through the scalp which may be exacerbated by burns and lesions caused by straighteners.

All consumers diagnosed with uterine cancer after using chemical hair straightening products may be eligible for compensation.
Consumers may be able to file a chemical hair straightener lawsuit if they:
- Used chemical hair straightening products or relaxers

Affected consumers can seek compensation that can help pay for medical treatment.
This process generally involves the hair straightener lawyer and the legal team:
- Confirming the case qualifies for legal action
- Building that case by collecting evidence (ie. medical records, testimony, etc.)
- Filing the hair straightener claim within legal deadlines
- Negotiating a lawsuit settlement with the defendant(s)
- If no settlement is reached, taking the defendant(s) to trial
