Previous research suggested that hair straightener products and other products for straightened hair are associated with an increased risk of certain hormone-related cancers, breast and ovarian cancers being the most notable.  Now, a new study by in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) has linked the use of hair straightener products to an increased risk in uterine cancer, and Black females may be affected at a higher rate due to their higher usage of hair straightener products the study noted. 

The study found that out of women who had not used hair straightener products in the last 12 months, only 1.6% developed uterine cancer by the age of 70.  However, approximately 4% of women who frequently use hair straightener products developed uterine cancer by the age of 70.  The fact that uterine cancer is so rare, the doubling of its risk raises concern.  Chandra Jackon, an author of the study and researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) stated, "In this study, women with frequent use in the past year had an over two-fold higher risk of uterine cancer.” Using products for straightened hair more than four times a year was defined as frequent.
