Allergic Reaction to Chemical Hair Dye –Heed the Warnings
Tabatha McCourt collapsed 20 minutes after dying her hair and tragically died in hospital.
This chemical fixes dye permanently into the hair so it doesn’t wash out — and it is causing increasing concern, with some experts now calling for an outright ban.
In our quest for eternal youth and glamour, hair-dyes have become big business. Every year, we have more than 45 million salon treatments in the UK, while chemists and supermarkets sell at least 50 million boxes of hair colour.
But with this rise in demand comes an increase in the number of people prone to side-effects — some of them deadly. In January, Mariade Kelly, 29, ended up in a hospital high-dependency unit after suffering a severe reaction to PPD. She had decided to dye her hair black.”
* Next time you pick up a bottle of hair dye, think of the possible allergic reaction you risk with each use of chemical hair dye.
Allergic Reaction to Chemical Hair Dye –On the Increase
"Although full-blown allergies to PPD are rare- affecting around one in 250,000 people- trichologist Iain Sallis says the problems is that you can never tell when you might develop one. 'Even if you have coloured your hair 100 times before, you can become allergic at any time,' he warns.
Hair-dye manufacturers say nobody should use their products without undergoing a patch test first — applying a small amount of dye to a patch of skin for 48 hours. But these tests are not fail-safe.”
