It is reported in the media that a young woman was temporarily blinded and admitted to hospital for three days recently when she suffered a severe allergic reaction to a hair dye kit. As instructed she carried out a skin test 48 hours before applying the Clairol ‘Nice n’ Easy’ natural black colour. However, a severe reaction to the hair dye left Rowe with a very badly swollen head which left her unable to see for three days. She was treated with steroids which reduced the swelling but had to be re-admitted to hospital several times in the following month after developing sores and further swelling. She was finally diagnosed as being allergic to a chemical that is commonly found in hair dyes, para-phenylenediamine (PPD). Unfortunately Rowe lost her job because of the amount of time she had to have off work.
