The trend of hair coloring has become significant these days. There are various brands of hair-dye can be easily found in the nearest supermarket. From dark to blonde, red or brunette, changing hair colors at home is no longer impossible. You can do it yourself without standing in a long line at your favorite hair salon.
But have you ever notice whether the hair coloring product you bought is safe or not? Despite of the brand, the price, or the place where you bought it, and the possible effect of hair damage (especially if you don’t give extra care to your dyed hair), should there be any other bad sides of using hair-dye? What’s the worst could possibly happen?
Rachel Dowley a nineteen year old girl from Essex, UK, had almost got herself killed for using a brand of hair-dye, even after doing a patch test. She ended up on a hospital drip after her face swelled twice to its size, leaving her with permanent scarring.
She said after 46 hours of the patch test, there was no reaction shown, so she applied the rest of the bottle to her hair. But the next day, her scalp became itchy and her face began to swell.
She was later hospitalized, given painkillers, steroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and hydrocortisone cream. The doctor of Southend Hospital told her that another treatment could kill her and that it was one of the worst reactions he’d ever seen.
Actually it was not the first allergic reaction she experienced, but seemed like that wasn’t the issue. People have different immune system capability, it is possible that Rachel’s immune system was not as well as she expected in reacting against the hair-dye substances.
Somehow, one must not ignore the warnings attached in the package of a hair-dye product. Good products must remind the consumer to take allergic test on certain parts of the body 24 hours before the coloring.
So be cautious with your products! Read and follow the instructions carefully before applying.
