According to the abstract, samples were only taken from Black and Latina hairdressers, and compared to a sample of female office workers. So no White or Asian hairdressers were part of the study. But according to some of these comments, many people are overlooking that fact. So lots of the argumentative comments here don’t even apply. People are reading too much into this without checking the facts.

FYI I’m a white woman and get my hair chemically straightened as well.

I mean to be fair, the headline seems to be insinuating some kind of racial bias.

Even if the sample was only black/Latino hair dressers, if the chemicals are commonly used in the industry there should be no need to mention race at all.

Look at OPs post history, OP tends only to post about minorities and birds. OP has a lot of time on their hands to post as much as they do
