In April, a dozen years after a federal agency classified formaldehyde a human carcinogen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is tentatively scheduled to unveil a proposal to consider banning the chemical in hair-straightening products.
The move comes at a time of rising alarm among researchers over the health effects of hair straighteners, products widely used by and heavily marketed to Black women. But advocates and scientists say the proposed new regulation would do far too little, in addition to being far too late. More
Racist beauty standards have long compelled girls and women with kinky hair to straighten it. Between 84% and 95% of Black women in the U.S. have reported using relaxers, studies show.”
I really have so much faith in the honesty of articles like these and the parties they quote and interview
Embrace the kink. Racial pride.
Ahh, so that’s the problem. All these black women have folical cancer.
Maybe some people shouldn’t be culturally appropriating other cultures. Juss sayin.
First menthol cigarettes and now this? The dingers will be up in arms.
And another thing, I’ve never tried to make my hair kinky, or have dreadlocks. And it’s not because I didn’t want to infringe on another culture. It’s because I didn’t want to because that’s not who I was. Why do some people have a need to be something they are not? Be yourself and be proud. Trans anyone? Damn I’m sick of this shit!
Boootox has been found viable in offsetting side-effects of mummyfacation. As seen on TV people agree
Moose Obama hardest hit.. Nevermind, he wears a wig.
…and we thot it wuz just the fentanyl!
Dat sho ain’ right.
Didn’t they dip cigarettes into formalin, too?
They called them dippers, and the dipshits all got run over, or fell out of windows.
Look, there it is! “Hair Care Products”, right there in the preamble, between “Secure Domestic Tranquility” and “Provide For The Common Defense”!
Marco told me about formalin, except he called fubblehigh.
In his defense he said to never do it.
“You mean formaldehyde?”
“Some shit like that, fubblehide, I don’t know…”
And then he told a horrific story about crossing a road.
Marco is still with us, and has become a man.
In the immortal words of Marco, “Fuck you, dawg!”
Did your hair stand up too?
Dat be raciss an shit, yo!
Are they going to take it out of vaccines anytime soon? Asking for the children.
Must’ve discovered it to be the cause of chimpouts at MickeyD’s…
The FDA? Yeah, they’re a trustworthy bunch.
Opportunity for Big Pharma to market a new drug, taken systemically, to straighten nappy hair.
As long as they rapidly mumble the side effects, which might include sudden death, and offer to help make this new drug affordable to all the peeps… we good, right?!
White women use products for straight hair too.
Black or white I cannot imagine hating my hair so much I’d shell out $300 or more per treatment.
Just being around or smelling formaldehyde gives me extremely, excruciating headaches. And I hate it when new mattresses smell like the stuff for quite a while. I’ve had to return at least one mattress because the smell of the formaldehyde wouldn’t go away.
the same fkng dumb a**es that prevented the use of ivermectin/hcq?
Or because the embalming industry is running low since the vax rollout?
Going after the bleached blonde bimbos next?
