Reply to comment by Lady-Seashell-Bikini in Black and Hispanic hairdressers are exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals, many of them unknown, potentially hazardous, and undisclosed on product labels, researchers report. There are more than 700,000 hairdressers in the United States, more than 90% of whom are estimated to be women. by MistWeaver80

Sounds like they should use different products then

Why do you think people used lye to straighten black hair? Because it worked.

They don't have healthy processes/chemicals which achieve the same result.

Idk, why haven’t they? Clearly there are products on the market that don’t have this problem.

The African hair market is different from the European hair market. The products you're thinking of are different and have nothing to do with treatments that would be applied to African hair. Relaxers, for example.
