FDA To Ban Relaxers Next Month As Cancer Link is Revealed

Almost 90% of black women have used a chemical relaxer at some point in their lives; many of whom began using it as children.  Usage of chemical relaxers has posed significant risks to the health of minority women. Women who use chemical relaxers are often unaware of the health conditions that they can introduce.  They have been clinically linked to reproductive disorders, infertility, cancer and other diseases.   A reporter for the New York Times, Linda Villarosa, spent a significant amount of time gathering facts about the health crisis surrounding chemical relaxers.  Through a lens similar to one idealized by black female epidemiologists, Villarosa discovered the well-researched link between the frequent usage of chemical relaxers and uterine cancer in black women.  These chemically-laced relaxers contain ingredients that act as endocrine disrupters which lead to early puberty and cancer in black women.

5 Summer Worthy Essence Wigs

Summer is finally in full swing and the temperatures are A-rising.  The bees are buzzing, the birds are chirping and the leavings are dancing.  It's one of the most beautiful seasons of the year.  The warmer the weather the less and less fabric is desired.  Hitting the style reset button is necessary during summer months especially if you're used to braving the cooler weather in heavy frocks and other winter essentials.  Just as one's wardrobe must be appropriate for the season, the choice of hairstyle also matters.  Summer worthy hairstyles should allow the hair and scalp to breathe.  Protective hairstyles and hairpieces should be lightweight without contributing to excess heat generation in the wearer.  Summer is also the time where folks vacation and encounter places and experiences where getting wet is the norm.  Hairstyles worn in water filled settings must be able to withstand high moisture levels.  Crochet units (netted cap) are perfect for summer months as they allo
