Even the ones that say they don't have it have been tested...and many of them do have it!
Exposure to these chemicals over time can cause cancer.
It's much better to get a straightening iron and use conditioner to style your hair straight and smooth.

- Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:40 pm #25650 oh tosh. everything causes cancer.

- Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:42 pm #25651 We can avoid straightening our hair with chemicals, but there are so many other things in everyday life that can cause cancer. Even the smog in the air we breathe! I think cleanses and detoxes are important to help our livers and kidneys deal with all this crap!
