Tragedy as teenage girl dies minutes after applying hair dye

im allergic to hair dye so please read the instructions carefully.....im now going grey gracefully.....

What a terrible tragedy, my heart goes out to her family and her friend who saw this happen.

If she was so highly allergic, maybe a patch test would have yielded the same result.....just a tragedy that no one could predict :-(

I wish people would just be happy with the way they naturally look. If we're blonde we want to be brunette. If we're brunette we want to be blonde. There's a girl lives near to me and she must change her hair colour every few weeks. She's been blonde, black, brown, and now she's bright orange. Vanity. If people put the same amount of effort into helping the needy and important issues in the world as they do to altering their appearance the world would be a perfect place.

17 yrs old a young lady died,her COD can be weird but no one allowed to make fun of it.her relatives might read it PLS show some respect and put yourself in to their shoes.R.I.P and my condolences to her family.

Rest in peace sweetheart, tragic for the family and for her friend who saw it happen!

I had a reaction to a dye I used for Years, when they changed and " improved " the product . I'm now staying grey the burning to my hair and scalp was to painful.
I wonder if the young girl had done a patch test .

So very sad....allergic reactions can come on in an instant!..R.I.P. BABY GIRL.

As a salon owner i enforce skin tests on colour and we take a lot of flak from people because the salons down the road will always do it on the same day with no test. I really hope this makes some people realise that i dont turn them away till the next day because i dont want to do their hair, i turn them away because i would not want to ruin their hair let alone the thought that i could have a death on my concience.

What papers are reporting I think are wrong , most say it was the hydrogen peroxide , I say no it's the PPD's which is a toxic dye , misinformation can be so dangerous. My advice to anyone who uses products that contain PPD's is , DONT USE IT. Make sure your dye is as natural as it can be .

However many times you use home hair colour, DO A SKIN TEST. Even if you've used the same one over and over. It says so on the packet - in big letters.
That poor girl. And the women who witnessed it, my heart goes out to you.

Ohhhhhhh My God..may her soul rest in perfect peace.

R.I.P to this young girl :( Hair dyes do carry warnings, the one I use says do the skin test 48 hours before applying. In case you think I'm lying, it's Clairol Nice'neasy. All hair dyes carry warnings to do the skin test before applying to the scalp, don't always assume the manufacturers are at fault, it could simply be a very rare and very tragic reaction.

i did experience the allergy just today,,i cant breath well and felt nervous, the smell is so strong and its my first tme to use that product,,I promise to my self that I wont to use it again..

we know it says to do a test. we don't know whether she did or not.even if she didn't that doesn't make it her fault or that she 'deserved' to die as some seem to be implying

@ brax. you can expect the product to be banned! the stuff is in most hair dye and they say on the instructions to do skin test first, just as we do in the salon. some people have severe anaphylactic to hair dye, others to peanuts and so on. should there be a ban on peanuts too? my thoughts are with the girls family, such a sad thing to happen.

All hair dyes cary warnings but a strand test would not indicate a severe allergy as it's cut off first. The only way is to mix a small amount and test just a drop behind the ear and leave it for 24 hrs. If it causes the skin to go even a slight pink DON'T use it.

But how often are the recommended procedures (skin and strand tests) carried out? I would say it's only by 10% of people do them. Even hairdressers in salons don't do kin tests ....

This is a rare (thankfully) tragedy and my heart goes out to her family and friends, and especially her friend's family who were with her at the time.

she should've read the instructions first, it was indicated at the label to test it on a small part of skin to know if you're allergic or not.

this article needs a follow-up, i'm not satisfied how the facts or lack of facts were presented

allergic reaction to hair colour?.. really frightening..may she rest in peace...
