Bald Patches caused by Hair Treatments

Hair dyeing and the use of hair extensions are two of the most common procedures in the UK that are causing baldness. Such damage to the scalp can be very emotionally humiliating and painful for women to suffer, so under the UK law, hairdressers are expected to carry out treatment in a professional and competent manner. If these standards have not been met, resulting in hair loss and baldness, they you are able to make a claim against them! 

Bald Patches Caused by Hair Extensions

Compensation for hair damage cause by extensions is common, as many hairdressers poorly apply these to the natural hair. Often an insufficient number of hair strands are used when sewing in hair extensions, meaning the natural hair will not be able to support the weight of the hair extensions, therefore pulling the hair out in clumps from the root. This usually takes around 5 weeks or so after the treatment has occurred, and could take anywhere between a few months to a few years for the hair to regrow fully. 

Compensation for Bald Patches Caused by Hair Dyeing

Hair dye causing baldness seems to be more common now-a-days, as a lot of hairdressers allow inexperienced junior practitioners to undertake this treatment. The chemical dye left on the hair too long is the most common cause of hair loss. Leaving the dye onto long caused the hair to become weak and brittle, therefore making it prone to breakage. Hair dye or bleach can also leak out of colouring foils and cause great damage to the roots and scalp, as well as a having an adverse reaction to the dye used, which requires immediate medical attention. 

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!

Body piercing!

Now body piercing is not the latest trend in today’s society, as this has in fact been around for hundreds of years. But what is trending is the wonderfully strange ways and things people are getting pierced!

It seems that you can have almost anything pierced and some of those places include your; ears, nose, eyebrow, lips, cheeks, navel, genitals, hips, neck and back. Yes, your hips, neck and back! When having your neck and back pierced, what I’ve found most popular is that people tend to thread ribbon through the piercing so they can create a corset like structure on their body. It is very interesting and unusual to see, but all I can thing about is getting those ribbons tangled on something! That is enough to put me off for life!

There are so many risks from infection with any sort of body piercing, as the more interesting and adventurous places people get pierced, the harder it is for them to keep those areas clean and free from infection.

I can’t stress how important it is for you to keep your piercings clean, as I have suffered first hand on several occasions from infected piercings and know how painful it is! Not to mention the scars they have left behind as a permanent reminder!

Ear Piercings and the infection to follow


So what ever happened to just an ordinary ear lobe piercing? In today’s society research has shown that more than 86% of people between the ages of 16-24 have more than one piercing in their ears. It has become a growing trend to have all kinds of strange ear piercings and they include; Scaffold, Rim, Snug, Conch, Anit-Tragus, Lobe, Tragus, Rook, Diath, and the Inner Pinner. Now I don’t know about you, but I for one have never even heard of the majority of these!

So as you know, any kind of piercing has the potential to cause infection. However it is the likes of these piercings (mentioned above) that are the most common cause as these tricky positions make it extremely hard for people to keeping their piercings dry and clean.     

I myself have my lobe pierced 3 times now as each time I would neglect the piercing and it would get so sore from infection that I just couldn’t keep the jewellery in anymore! However third time lucky and I have finally learnt my lesson and kept this on clean and allowed the proper amount of time before changing the ear jewellery. That is a great piece of advice, follow the piercers instructions!

I likewise have the rim of my ear pierced and that one hurt a lot! A lot of people ask me, “Was it worth it?” and when I look back at how many times my ears have been infected and the pain it caused, I would still always say “yes!” I may not have looked after my piercings properly, but for those who do, the results are great!

Male Model Suffers Severe Allergic Reaction at Hairdressers

A 24 year old, male model that had a severe reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers has to cancel his modelling assignment as his hair is falling out in clumps! In recent news, men and women alike are still being subjected to the chemical para-phenylenediamine found in most dark hair dye. This has proven to been the catalyst for so many severe allergic reactions so why are hairdressers still failing to provide simple skin patch tests to their clients?…

How do I know if I am having a reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers?
When the hair dye treatment was applied, the model instantly felt a burning sensation all over his scalp. After alerting the stylist she assured him this was perfectly normal, even after his head began to itch and became visibly inflamed. A few days after his colouring treatment the model’s hair began to fall out in clumps and his scalp had dried and cracked.

What should I do if I had a reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers?
If you have been subject to pain and suffering at the hand of your hairdresser, you have every right to claim compensation for your ordeal. If you have suffered an allergic reaction and no skin patch test was performed, this is negligence and you should contact not only a medical expert, but also contact our team of female solicitors and start your claim for compensation.

Should I contact a solicitor if I had an allergic reaction to hair dye at a hair salon?
Yes. In this case, the salon admitted liability for the damages caused to the model’s hair and he was later offered almost £6,000 for his injuries. Our female solicitors have a sympathetic ear and can empathise with clients as they too have been in similar positions at the hairdressers.

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.

Kim Kardashian Bald patches from Hair Extensions

Kim Kardashian reveals bald patch at Paris’s Fashion Week after from overly-tight Hair Extensions. 


Kim Kardashian is an American socialite and model who is known for her curvery figure and pefect long dark brown hair, but recently she has been spotted with a large bald patch, even though she spends thousands of dollars on extensions, that does not mean that they won't harm her hair! By the looks of it Kims natural hair has started to weaken with all the tension from the hair extensions, which has left her in a very hairy situation!

Along with Kim there are many other celebrities, such as Alexandra Burke and Noami Campbell who also suffer due to their extensions. These celebrities are generally abusing their hair, as having it treated and styled so many times will only cause disaster!

Trichologists have stated that hair thinning is mostly caused by extensions, hair treatments and chemical hair dyes, so why are we still doing all of this to our hair?! 

The number of people suffering from bald patches and hair thinning is shocking! I myself have been victim to loss of hair, as I used to wear extensions everyday for about 2 years! After a year of now wearing them my hair is finally starting to grow back, but I was so embarassed by my appearance that I had to wear hats everywhere I went (even though I do not suit them at all!) Don't you think there should be more awareness of the connection between hair extensions to baldness? Because maybe them women will start to pay attention and reaslise that your natural hair should be looked after properly, as one day it may just start to fall out, like mine, like kims, and like a increasingly high percentage of other women!

My Recommendations

Beauty Treatment Solicitors
For any one who has suffered injuries through no fault of their own due to negligent beauticians or hairdressers, then you deserve compensation. It’s as simple as that! These professionals take for granted the amount of trust we clients put in their hand, and with this brings room for injuries to occur. Bartletts Beauty Treatment Solicitors have put together a Facebook Page which features a blog of the week section, where a trained beautician writes articles for women so they can do these beauty procedures themselves easily at home, rather than paying for a possible disaster! It likewise had a “face to the name” aspect which shows clients which solicitors would deal with their case. It’s so important, I think, for a Solicitors firm to make themselves look friendly and appealing, and this is what Bartletts have achieved! I myself have added this firm as a friend on Facebook as they have actually saved me so much time and money! I recommend that you all do the same as it will pay off greatly.

Suing for Negligent Collagen Injections

Collagen is a naturally produced protein which sadly declines with age. The collagen protein provides skin with its shape, suppleness, support and texture. However as we age we loose these attributes and our body starts to get lines, wrinkles and loose folds of skin. This is when people turn to Collagen injections.

Injection of collagen has meant that the signs of aging have been temporarily reversed. It is used to decrease the appearance of blemishes, laughter lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles. It can now be injected into the lips so they look more plump, which is now a desired effect.

Although little research has been done into the long term side effects of collagen, we have seen cases where Celebrities have had so many Collagen injections they have been left permanently disfigured.

Before receiving collagen injections, the surgery must carry out skin patch tests. This is crucial as it will determine whether or not you will have a serious allergic reaction to the injections. A professional consultation must be done on new clients, as collagen is unsuitable for women breast-feeding or pregnant, as well as those taking blood thinning medications.

There are a multitude of risks involves in collagen injections, but one of the most common is infection caused by lack of hygiene. In extreme circumstances, clients can be left with lumps under the skin as well as skin irregularities and permanent scarring.

Clients have the right to expect their treatment will be carried out by true experts. You are able to sue a collagen surgeon if they have behaved in a negligent manor and failed to meet standard requirements. Suing for negligent collagen treatments is simple and what you deserve after suffering at the hand of a negligent professional.
