Our new study found hazardous chemicals in hair extensions, including those made with human hair. Further supporting the need for stronger regulations around beauty products. https://t.co/yc9J6NIiNE

6 years of this work. It’s not a moment. It’s been my life.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

Health insurance ain’t been the same since I got kicked off my parents’.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@tatixtia This is so telling! Well based on my instagram comments on the topic we are not alone. With is really common.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

Ain’t for nothing that I am concerned about the adverse effects of hair extensions. I have had multiple outbreaks while wearing braids. Anyone else experience something like this? These photos are at least 4 years apart.

@GraceHousingNFP @X This cracked me up 😂

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@tatixtia Are you serious? So sorry. Without warning. Do you still get braids?

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@ccromartie Ok. Not the one I was thinking. I’ve used this one. I’ve always rinsed it before installing so nothing too crazy from this one for me.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@ccromartie Or you can share it here

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@ccromartie Do you mind DMing me a picture of the package? Maybe you can find it online?

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@Queen_EO It could see a difference in my whole face, shoulders, and top part of my back. But it wasn’t terrible or noticeable to others.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@FCookies20 Ohhh no 😖

🥰🤝🏾 I am not at liberty to discuss the specific results publicly, yet. I have only shared in research spaces to strengthen the work. I will share specifics when the paper is accepted by a journal. But, most of this study is connecting dots.

So, here is what I can share..

[Dr. Raven the Science Maven @ravenscimaven]

Y'all I'm on the phone with another scientist right now who is about to publish this data, take the braids with the plastic out RIGHT NOW. TAKE IT OUT. TAKE IT OUT. TAKE IT OUT. DAMN. I will share the research when it comes out.

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@indigoglow_ Congrats!

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@DrAllyLouks @CarrieCnh12 @bloodiedblkgwrl Can’t wait to read it @DrAllyLouks Would love to talk more about how your work overlaps with the environmental injustice of beauty framework so I can have more literature to cite when publishing. 💕

[Dr. E (she/her) @ElissiaPhD]

@afashola_ I get soooo irritated. “Why did you pop your ballon” .. “I don’t like their shoes.” 🙄 Y’all don’t deserve a romantic partner.
