Hair Beware: Chemical Straightening Link to Cancer |
|
Hair-straightening chemicals are linked to uterine cancer, according to research published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Tracking over 34,000 American women among the ages of 35 to 74 for over a decade, the findings, reported by the National Institutes of Health, found an association between the use of hair-straightening chemicals and an increased risk of developing uterine cancer.
378 women of all races and ethnicities in the study were diagnosed with uterine cancer, finding a link between their diagnoses and particular hair-care routines. However, because Black women reported straightening their hair more often, the researchers suggested they may be at a higher risk. On average, women using hair straighteners more than four times a year were more than twice as likely to develop uterine cancer than those who didn’t. As hair straighteners can cause scalp burns and abrasions, they pose greater potential for chemical absorption than other common hair products.
Uterine cancer, though rare, is on the rise. According to the National Cancer Institute this year, nearly 66,000 women were estimated to be diagnosed with uterine cancer, with more than 12,500 patients dying from the disease. Data shows that death rates are highest among non-Hispanic Black women.
Dr. Sarah Schram, Mohs Surgeon, Lab Director, and Co-Owner of Pima Dermatology, suggests patients consider reducing their use of chemical straighteners. “Though the increased cancer risk is small, it becomes a risk to reward factor. Patients need to consider the dangers of all chemical processing types and consider reducing or eliminating these treatments until more data is available,” she says.
