NBC News: Chemical Hair Straightener linked to Uterine Fibroids and Cancer in Black Women.

That’s fair.
What I will say is that the brehs who point out the health issues aren’t the same brehs who make it clear they want you to have straight hair.
I once had a brotha tell me to my face that if someone doesn’t have “good hair” she needs to get a relaxer because he can’t deal with natural hair.
I also had a random older man tell me and another woman that the reason why BM wanted to marry Native American women after slavery ended was because they didn’t want to deal with the “hair issue”— meaning be with a woman with kinky, harder to manage hair.
She got visibly upset, but at that point I had already dealt with brothas who made comments about mixed hair, lighter skin, etc so he didn’t get under my skin.
Interactions with men like that weigh on Black women’s self esteem because a man who is literally your reflection —with your same dark complexion and hair texture— is looking you in the eye telling you that you’re less than.
Growing up I like most little black girls had my hair relaxed .. a lot. I’ve been natural for some yrs now and that’s great .. but what I’m reading is not. I was joking with my mom recently and I told her I was going to start using the “ white products to dye my hair “ it was a joke but behind every joke is truth. You don’t really hear about other folks having these types of issues when using hair products or any product really. So then it becomes if it’s always a black issue .. what was done to make it so. I know a few black women that suffered from fibroids .. my mom included. I can’t tell anyone what to do with their hair .. so I won’t. I do however think these companies need to be looked into though.

Was this thread made to be sympathetic towards Black women getting Cancer and Fibroids from hair chemicals or is this just a circle shytting on Black women on some we (Black men) tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen, now look at you stupid bit*h!?
I couldn't tell after reading the first 5-7 replies on the first page

You know what time it is
Because the shyt was JOKES.
“Why do women put that in their hair?”
“To look white.”
THAAAAAAT is why people call his ass a c00n and why BW didn’t give a damn Will slapped him.
Black women literally would not get HIRED if they had natural hair.
The practice I work for literally said employees couldn’t wear braids until a few years ago (2020- Crown Act). I literally had a pow wow with some of the White women in my office and a director said she would step in on my behalf if necessary. I’m only rocking them because the only Black Dr in my practice wears them and she said if she wears them I can wear them.
THAT is a small example of the shyt Black women have gone through.

I think most Black people knew that that shyt was dangerous and harmful. They just didn’t care.
But some of them mofos were straight up dumb so maybe they didn’t know. Such a large portion of their customers were illiterate, that they had to include a cassette tape with the perm, that played the instructions for them.

Women I love and care for are currently dealing with Fibroids. I can put the dating differences aside when real issues come up and this is a real issue. At the end of the day were on the same teams.

Still, Black men are being blamed in general instead of it being admitted that it is some who prefer sisters with perms. Then when those of us mention that there are many of us brothers who do not prefer our women have perms, from being apathetic about it to actually preferring natural hair, we are many times told to stay out of Black women's business. That is why I am saying we can't be used as an excuse for sisters wearing perms when we are told to not even voice our dissent and desire for the opposite of permed hair. Neither can we be used as an excuse when our complaints about it all are responded to with statements of "We do this for ourselves, not for men."
