Poll: Do You Believe That The Chemicals in Relaxers Cause Health Issues?

Yes, I believe that chemicals in relaxers cause health issues such as fibroids, skin problems, and cancer.

No, I don’t believe that chemicals in relaxers cause health issues.

I still relax my hair, and despite what people say, I will still continue to use relaxers.

I relax my hair but this information is making me reconsider whether or not I should still relax.

One of the reasons that I transitioned to natural hair is because of my concerns about the use of harmful chemicals in relaxers.

My decision to wear my hair natural had nothing to do with health concerns. I just prefer to wear my hair natural.
