A recent study published Monday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has found a link between hair straightening products and an increased risk of developing uterine cancer.

A new study has revealed that women who frequently use chemical hair straightening products have a greater risk of developing uterine cancer compared to those who don't use chemicals, a stat that particularly impacts people of color.

Research by the National Institutes of Health looked at 33,000 American women for a decade. The rate of uterine cancer was two times higher in people who used chemical hair straightening products.

The study authors highlighted how the risks may be more heightened for Black women, who reported using hair straightening products more frequently than other groups.

A national study suggests a link to this particular cancer among women who reported frequent use of the chemical products.

Women who used chemical hair straightening products were at higher risk for uterine cancer compared to women who did not report using these products, according to a new study from the National Institutes of Health.

Women who frequently use chemical hair straightening products could face more than twice the risk of uterine cancer compared to those who never use them, according to a new study published Monday.
