  • Résumé

  • Many hair care products marketed particularly to Black women and girls contain chemicals that are endocrine disruptors  and thus may interfere with the body’s hormone system.  Some of these chemicals are also known to cause asthma or cancer.  In this episode, we explore the chemical and cultural issues around Black hair care and interview scientists and activists who are working to ensure that safer products are available.
