Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Eligibility

Do You Qualify for a Hair Relaxer Lawsuit?

Chemical hair straighteners promised sleek, manageable hair, but mounting evidence shows they can also raise your risk of uterine, endometrial, and ovarian cancer. Now thousands of impacted women want justice and may win a substantial compensation. So what are the hair relaxer lawsuit eligibility requirements? Do you qualify?

Women have already filed suits against beauty giants such as L’Oréal, Revlon, Strength of Nature, and a growing roster of second-wave defendants.

If you’re wondering, “Am I eligible for a hair relaxer lawsuit?” this guide will walk you through the key requirements and help you decide your next step.

Have You Regularly Used a Chemical Hair Relaxer?

We’re looking to speak with women who were exposed to hair relaxers regularly over a period of time.

In most cases, that means:

• At least two years of use
• Roughly four or more treatments per year

It doesn’t matter if you switched brands over time or switched back and forth between salon and at-home treatments. You may still qualify as long as your overall usage meets these minimums.

Have You Been Diagnosed with a Reproductive Cancer?

We believe women weren’t properly warned about the connection these products have to certain cancers. In fact, the research has shown a significantly higher rate of reproductive cancers (especially uterine cancer) for women using these products.

Our lawsuit centers on three hormone-sensitive cancers:

• Uterine cancer
• Endometrial cancer
• Ovarian cancer

We need to be able to show you received your diagnosis after regular hair relaxer use.

Other conditions – like fibroids or breast cancer – are under scientific review, but they aren’t part of the current lawsuit.

Hair Relaxer Lawsuit Eligibility: What Brands Are Included?

The federal lawsuit now targets dozens of products that span drugstores, beauty-supply shops, and salons. They include:

First-Wave Defendants

• Dark & Lovely (L’Oréal / SoftSheen-Carson)
• Optimum Care (L’Oréal)
• ORS Olive Oil (Namaste)
• Soft & Beautiful, Olive Oil Girls (Strength of Nature)
• Revlon Professional and related lines

Second-Wave Defendants

• Wella / Clairol Professional
• Paul Mitchell Relaxer System
• African Pride, BB Relaxers (Bronner Brothers)
• Roux, Murray’s, Vitale, and private-label kits by RNA Corporation

Many women aren’t sure whether they used products on the list or not. Salons don’t always offer that information and it may have been a long time since you used a hair relaxer. But as long as you used this type of treatment regularly and received a diagnosis of a reproductive cancer after the fact, you may have a case.

The safest way to find out is to contact us today for a free consultation, no strings attached.

What Is Your State’s Filing Deadline?

Just about every lawsuit comes with a statute of limitations, which decides how long you have to file.

Tennessee’s deadline can be as short as one year from the day you first “reasonably discovered” the connection between your cancer and hair relaxers.

That date might be when a doctor mentioned the NIH study, when a TV news story aired, or when you stumbled upon an online article like this one. Other states may give two or three years, but none keep the window open forever.

The sooner you talk to a lawyer, the better. We can help you figure out the statute of limitations and get your case filed quickly so you don’t miss out.

Supporting Evidence That Can Help

Don’t worry if you tossed old jars years ago; most clients did and it probably won’t affect your hair relaxer lawsuit eligibility.

Our experienced legal team can still build your case with:

• Medical records confirming diagnosis and treatment timelines
• Purchase proof, like loyalty-card logs, credit-card statements, and salon invoices
• Witness statements from stylists, friends, or relatives who saw you use the products
• Social-media photos or videos that show your relaxer routine

It’s our job to investigate your claim and help you gather evidence. We know what the courts are looking for and all the information that could be most useful to them, and we know how to find it on your behalf.

One thing you can do to help? Start a personal timeline that includes brand names if you can remember them, general dates that you used the products, and any symptoms you noticed.
