The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is planning to propose a ban on hair straightening products that contain or emit formaldehyde, as well as formaldehyde-causing ingredients. This move comes after years of research suggesting a link between the chemical and hormone-related cancers such as breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. The proposed ban is part of the FDA's efforts to address safety concerns and reduce cancer risks associated with these products. The move is in response to requests from Congresswomen Ayanna Pressley and Shontel Brown, and concerns raised by Black women. The cosmetic industry's own experts had declared these products unsafe over a decade ago. The ban is expected to significantly impact the hair care industry, particularly among Black women.
