However, recent scientific research has shown that these products may be linked to an increased risk of cancer. In October 2022, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published the results of the Sister Study, a large-scale study that found a causal link between hair relaxer use and higher rates of uterine cancer. In the wake of the Sister Study, a number of lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of hair relaxers.
