Common Causes of Hair Product Injuries
Hair care products should enhance your beauty, not cause harm. Unfortunately, defective formulas, toxic chemicals, and misleading labels can result in severe injuries. Here are the most common causes:
Harmful Chemicals & Toxic Ingredients
- Formaldehyde & Other Carcinogens: Found in hair straighteners and keratin treatments, these chemicals have been linked to cancer y scalp burns.
- Sodium Hydroxide (Lye): Present in many relaxers, it can lead to severe scalp burns y permanent hair loss.
- Parabens & Sulfates: Known irritants that cause skin allergies, rashes, and inflammation.
- Heavy Metals & Endocrine Disruptors: Some hair products contain mercury or hormone-disrupting chemicals that can affect long-term health.
- Contaminated Products: Poor manufacturing practices can lead to bacteria and fungal contamination, increasing the risk of infections.

Defective or Misleading Product Labeling
- False “All-Natural” Claims: Many brands mislead consumers into believing their products are chemical-free when they contain harsh irritants.
- Failure to List Allergens: Lack of proper labeling can lead to unexpected allergic reactions.
- Misleading Application Instructions: Poor guidance can result in overuse or unsafe application.
- Counterfeit or Unregulated Products: Unapproved formulations sold through third-party vendors can pose serious health risks.
Common Hair Product-Related Injuries
Chemical burns, hair loss, and scalp damage can have long-lasting effects. Victims often suffer from:
- Severe Burns & Scarring: Chemical relaxers and hair dyes can cause painful third-degree burns.
- Permanent Hair Loss (Alopecia): Harsh chemicals destroy hair follicles, leading to irreversible bald patches.
- Skin & Scalp Infections: Contaminated or expired products can lead to bacterial infections.
- Eye & Respiratory Damage: Fumes from hair products can cause eye irritation, breathing difficulties, and long-term respiratory issues.
- Hormonal Disruptions: Some chemicals have been linked to infertility, early puberty, and hormone-related cancers.
