Skin lighteners and hair relaxers took centre stage at the department of science and technology’s Women’s Month round-table discussion by experts, celebrities and academics in Pretoria on Monday.
“There is no skin friendly [hair] relaxer, it doesn’t exist. Even if it is done properly. Even if you neutralise and do everything. It is just not skin friendly,” dermatologist, Prof Nonhlanhla Khumalo told the gathering.
