Dangerous Chemicals Were Detected in 100% of the Braiding Hair We Tested - Consumer Reports

CR tested 10 of the most popular synthetic braiding hair products for heavy metals and VOCs. We found carcinogens and more in 100 percent of the samples.

www.consumerreports.org

All the synthetic braiding hair products we tested contained multiple carcinogens. Three products contained benzene, a known carcinogen that causes acute myeloid leukemia. “It is strictly regulated and discouraged to use in laboratories because of its potential to cause cancer,” Rogers says. Two products contained an animal carcinogen, and all the samples contained a probable carcinogen, methylene chloride.
