A news report on BBC1 London recently stated that 80% of the products made for black women, contain cancer-causing properties? So what exactly is going on? many of the ingredients found to be endocrine disruptors cause diseases that a higher proportion of black women contract in relation to their white counterparts.

The US study from the Silent Spring Institute was conducted to narrow down the sources that cause black women and children to be subject to internal body disruptions that relate to the products they may use.

The study found that out of the 18 products tested, 11 of them contained ingredients banned for use in the EU!

Root2tip Founder, Hairducation expert, writer and Cosmetic scientist, Sal who started making natural hair care products to help regrow her hair, (after a bout of hairloss)and help other women and children with hair loss and general hair maintenance wants to inform and spread hairducation.

As consumers we are unaware of the ingredients, this short docufilm will give you an idea of what to look for.

We look briefly at Parabens, Phthalates, Siloxanes (silicone) Placenta, BHT, MIT and more.

Why do black hair products cause cancer, what ingredients affect the genitals of unborn boys if the pregnant mother is using ' product A' containing such ingredients?

Hormones in HAIRCARE?

What is that about? Sal researched this subject in 2011, a study uncovered the facts that, young black girls in America, as young as 3 or 4 years old were entering puberty prematurely. The children were growing breasts and pubic hair, they were watched for 8 weeks and the disruption was linked to the ingredients in their haircare products, namely, placenta, interfering with the endocrine system in their little bodies. When the children stopped using the products the symptoms of puberty went away!

Manufacturers of toxins:

We take you into the local hairshop, and show you 6 or 7 brands that formulate products for children with ingredients banned for use in the EU and also in the UK.

We looked at the popular brand Curly Kids HAIRCARE and discovered a known toxin, MIT... or better known as:

METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, A TOXIC INGREDIENT THAT COULD CAUSE NERVE DAMAGE.

The biggest concern with this ingredient came to light when researchers conducted two recent laboratory studies on rat brain cells and found that MIT caused damage to those cells. The researchers stated, “A brief exposure to methylisothiazolinone, a widely used industrial and household biocide, is highly toxic to cultured neurons….” The scientists went on to state that these toxic effects had been reported previously, and because of their widespread use, the consequences of chronic human exposure need to be evaluated. What was most concerning about this study was that the exposure was only 10 minutes long.


The Truth on Parabens:

Of greatest concern is that parabens are known to disrupt hormone function, an effect that is linked to increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive toxicity,” reports the non-profit Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC). “Parabens mimic estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors on cells

Pthalates- the danger:

In the past few years, researchers have linked phthalates to asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, obesity and type II diabetes, low IQ, neurodevelopmental issues, behavioural issues, autism spectrum disorders, altered reproductive development and male fertility issues.
