| dc.description | The Black hair and beauty industry is more than simply big business, it is multi-layered, complex and touches the lives of Black women and girls. It allows for self-expression, tracks family history, it is an economic base, it connects us to Black women across the globe, and has deep historical roots. However, little is known about the connection between the beauty products we use and the health of Black women, both as consumers and workers. As the beauty industry booms, products marketed to and used by Black women are found to be toxic, containing chemicals that are carcinogenic, linked to hormone disorders, reproductive health challenges, and contributing to obesity rates. Black hair care professionals and consumers are experiencing the consequences of cumulative impacts of toxic chemical use from exposures in hair salons and unregulated, untested products. Starting in 2009, Black Women for Wellness began collecting data, conducted literature reviews, hosted focus groups, interviewed key leaders, and researched the world of Black beauty. Natural Evolutions—One Hair Story is a compilation of the collected results and insights into the culture, health, and research around Black women’s hair and health. | en_US |
