Bill overview
The Healthy Hair Act aims to protect consumers by regulating hair straightening and smoothing products. Specifically, it declares products containing formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing substances as adulterated, meaning they cannot be sold. The bill also mandates a study on the health effects of these products, particularly on salon workers, and requires the Food and Drug Administration to report its findings and recommendations to Congress. This legislation seeks to address potential health risks associated with these popular hair treatments.
