Healthy Hair Act

Summary

The Healthy Hair Act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to treat any hair‑straightening or smoothing product that contains formaldehyde or a formaldehyde‑releasing ingredient as an adulterated cosmetic. It also directs the FDA and NIOSH to study the short‑ and long‑term health effects of such products, especially for salon workers, and to report findings to Congress. The measure aims to protect consumers and workers from potential cancer, respiratory, and endocrine risks.
