Study Finds Hair Extensions Contain Hazardous Chemicals
|
6.1
A recent study in the journal Environment & Health analyzed 44 commercially available hair extension samples using nontargeted and suspect screening with two-dimensional gas chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry and machine-learning processing. Researchers identified 169 putative chemicals, 48 of which appeared on public hazard lists, and found 91% of samples contained California Proposition 65 chemicals, highlighting labeling and regulatory gaps and potential exposure risks for frequent users.
Scoring Rationale
