Chemicals used in hair straightening may increase the risk of uterine cancer

Christine Lehmann

A new study from the National Institutes of Health found that women who used chemical hair straightening products had a greater chance of developing uterine cancer than women who did not disclose using these products. Other hair products, such as hair colors, bleach, highlights, or perms, that the women reported using were not linked to uterine cancer, according to the study.
