6:16Now PlayingAs Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, BNC is addressing a topic specifically for Black women—hair and what's being put in it.
The Black Women's Health Study focuses on cancer risks in Black women, and the latest research is about the correlation between breast cancer and hair relaxers. Dr. Kimberly Bertrand is a co-investigator on the study and an associate professor of medicine for Boston University. She joins BNC's Lauren McCoy on "Start Your Day" to talk more about the research.
All this and more on "Start Your Day."
