'I looked like a monster':16 Year Old Girl Severe Allergic Reaction To Home Hair Dye Kit
A teenager has told how she feared she would be left disfigured for life after suffering a terrifying allergic reaction to hair dye.
Lauren Thomas, 16, said her head inflated like a football and her scalp started oozing puss just hours after using a home hair dying kit.
Lauren, who has a Saturday job in a hair salon and hopes to become a hairdresser when she leaves school, said she feared she would ‘never look normal again’ after suffering the reaction during the summer holidays.
She said: ‘I was terrified. I did not recognise myself and I started crying because I was so scared.
'I didn’t know what was happening and the more my head swelled the more I feared the worst.
'I was scared I would die. It took more than a week to go down and even when I knew I was going to be OK I was still worried I would never look the same again.'
Lauren from Trallwn, Llansamlet near Swansea, had dyed her hair at home using the well-known brand ‘Nice n’ Easy’ by Clairol several times already with no adverse affects.
Because of this she didn’t carry out a test patch as instructed on the box.
