Optimum Care is a popular chemical hair relaxer brand by SoftSheen-Carson, a subsidiary of the cosmetics company L'Oréal. These hair relaxer products are used to flatten and relax curly or coily hair, and a large number of African American women use the products for their styling.
Unfortunately, the way that these chemical relaxers work is by actually damaging the hair’s protein structure and changing its natural texture in the process. Recently, a number of reports were made about dangerous and even deadly side effects due to the prolonged use of this product.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed against the beauty company by women who claim that the Optimum Care hair relaxers were heavily marketed to African American women without warning about the health risks of exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the products.
So, if you’re asking, “Is Optimum relaxer good for your hair?”—the answer is a definitive no. Stop using the product at once, and if you are concerned about the health risks, see a doctor immediately.
