Hair Damaged by Relaxer at the Hairdressers

Hair relaxers are creams or lotions that are applied to the roots of naturally curly hair, making it easier for the hairdresser to straighten and style. Hair relaxers “cook” and alter the structure of the hair by damaging the curls in a controlled way. However the toxicity of the chemicals makes this product the most dangerous treatment offered by hair salons. It is therefore crucial that this procedure is carried out by a highly skilled experience hair stylist, otherwise you could end up with extensive hair loss as well as suffering burns to the most sensitive areas of your scalp. 

Hair Damaged by Relaxer if Tests Are Not Carried Out 

It is most important that with all chemical treatments your hair stylist gives you a skin patch test before hand. This will determine whether or not you are suitable for the treatment. Relaxers can be very potent and the containing chemicals are also used to clean drains and thin paint. Therefore a protective base cream made from petroleum jelly must be applied to the skin around the scalp before applying the harsh chemicals. 

Hair Relaxing Damage Can Cause Hair Loss, Baldness & Scarring

If the hair relaxer is left on your hair for too long it may damage the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss and baldness. Your scalp can blister, scab and become red and irritated, not to mention to chance of permanent scarring! The skills and experience of the practitioner is all that stands in the way of this happening, as they can judge whether or not the hair can handle such chemical treatments. 

Whether a procedure has been carried out incompetently, or a salon has failed to carry out a skin patch or hair strand test prior to a treatment, you can and should make a claim against them!

Over-Processed Hair Leaves Woman Looking Like a Scarecrow

A young woman has just recently received over £5,000 in compensation after her hairdresser left her looking and feeling like a Scarecrow. After her hair was destroyed so was her confidence as levels plummeted so much that she ended up being a recluse after beautician tried to turn her brown hair blonde.

The woman, who wishes not to be named, spend over 11 hours in the hairdressing chair, receiving five separate beaching treatments which were all to correct the hairdressers initial mistake of dyeing her hair bright orange. The hairdresser which did all the damage then attempted to convince the woman that her hair looked great, even though there were considerable chunks of hair falling out of her head from being so over-processed. A follicle specialist then advised the woman to shave all her hair off as it would be better to try and regrow her hair as it was far too damaged to repair itself in its condition

Chemicals were used to much on this woman’s hair that it made her scalp so burnt which then caused her hair to become very dry and brittle which then lead to it falling out in larger chunks. When the woman’s hair started to fall out she was forced to wear a hate for 3 months as she was so embarrassed by her appearance. She also become a recluse and did not feel comfortable leaving her home.

It is always essential that you seek not only medical advice, but also legal advise if your hair has been ruined, damaged or if you have been injured. It is very important to have the right team of experts to represent you against your negligent hairdresser

Burnt by Hair Straighteners

Burnt by hair straighteners

Since a hair straightening crazy began in the 1990's, millions of people have been using straighteners to try and achieve a sleek and glossy look on their hair. Back then there were no warnings of the damage that hair straighteners can do, yet they have the potential to turn sleek and luxurious hair into what people now a days call "rat tail" hair. This is when the hair becomes extremely dry and starts to split and fall out. (I bet they didn't mention that on the box!)

The lens I have written is about the positives and indeed the negatives of having your hair straightened. I have also portrayed the truth about what hair straightening can do, and also what a negligent hairdresser can do with hair straighteners in their hand! I had to find out the hard way.
