African women and women of African descent who use hair straightening creams and lotions on their hair stand a higher risk of developing fibroid and cancers of the female genital tract which can lead to infertility, says Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, a cellular Pathologist and Lifestyle Wellness consultant.
According to Prof. Akosa, a lot of the hair straightening creams contained Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) which tended to destroy the female endocrine system, including the hormones, oestrogen, projections and follicles.
In an interview with
The Mirror in Accra, Prof. Akosa said, “I am not a beautician, but I can tell you that a lot of the fibroids we are getting is as a result of these straightening creams women have been using.
