    It is true that younger people don’t relax as much
    But we still need to spread awareness about this
    It’s terrible that people are getting sick because of it

    The study spoke of relaxers bought in the store, not the professional ones…. Better quality

    I don't know if it's the new version. If that was the case the Dominican Republic would be cancer-ridden.

    Did anyone force those suing to use the relaxers. Also there is a warning on the relaxer box, isn't it
