This is one of the most important videos I’ve ever made!

Did you know that Black women who have gotten hair relaxers from companies selling products such as Dark & Lovely, OS Olive Oil Relaxer, Just for Me, and African Pride, are twice as likely to get cancer??? 😦

I learned this recently while at the Natural Hair Show, but was relieved to also find out that there’s a law firm working to bring about justice in this case with a FEDERAL lawsuit.



👇🏾

“On January 17, 2023, Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel at Equal Justice Society and Serna & Associates filed a federal injury lawsuit in California against L’Oreal, Softsheen, Dermoviva, and others for cancer allegedly caused by repeated use of hair relaxer products. The lawsuit brings claims arising from defendants’ negligent, willful, and wrongful conduct in connection with the design, development, manufacture, testing, packaging, promoting, marketing, distribution, labeling, and/or sale of the products known as Dark & Lovely, OS Olive Oil Relaxer, Just for Me, and African Pride.” They are also receiving assistance from the Honorable Judge Stephanie Jones who is the Founder & CEO of Omega Daughter. 🙏🏾

In a country where many Black women still need laws to protect their natural hairstyles and are at risk for being fired for wearing them, this is important!

🚨If you know someone who may have been impacted by this, send this to them ASAP and fill out the email list form in my comments. If you have been impacted by these toxic chemicals, or have EVER used them to get a perm, please fill out the form on HairRelaxerCase.org (link below too). 🗣️

This is about awareness AND justice, so let’s get to it! ✊🏾
