SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Activists on Thursday gathered to discuss the FDA's health concerns about hair-strengthening products such as chemical relaxers and pressing products.
The activist group Relaxer Advocates says there is misinformation when it comes to chemicals used in relaxers that family-owned companies have been selling for years.
According to the group, these products do not use formaldehyde, a chemical linked to cancer. Instead, the group says these products use a small percentage of sodium hydroxide.
