Description

Synthetic hair is not just a beauty choice ,it has become a silent health risk for millions of Black women. Recent scientific investigations have found carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, toxic fumes, and heavy metals inside the very braids we call “protective.” These chemicals are banned in Europe, tightly regulated in the U.S., but freely sold across Africa with zero warnings. This video exposes the hidden dangers inside synthetic braids, the fumes we inhale in salons, the toxins released when the hair is burned, and the decades-long regulatory failure that allowed this industry to target Black women with the least-tested, most-toxic beauty products on the market. #SyntheticHair #BlackWomenHealth #ProtectiveStyles Support Our Work MPESA: +254 726 916 908 Or through PayBill: 4096889 Account Name: LNN Thank You
