Fatal reaction to the CARINO hairdye!

Helloooo er'body im so sorry I haven't done a blog in ages but I've just had so much going on in my life the past few months it's just been a no go! 

But I'm back and I'm back with fire in my eyes.  

Right so if you follow me on Instagram (the link is at the top of the page) you will know my hair growing journey was cut short, long story short - I went to fuengirola on holiday and wanted to be a baldy in the sun! Well all round I just felt more comfortable without hair. I know most of you will think how can you feel more comfortable without hair? but it's extremely empowering being a woman with a buzz cut. 

Having a bald head in the summer I love to be a platinum colour, I have to cut and bleach my hair once a week it can be quite tedious and expensive with my normal loreal preference in extreme platinum at £6. So I tried to search for a cheaper option to bleach my hair.

So I purchased the Carino hair due

From Aldi for £2.39 in lightest beige blonde. 

Oh my god this has been the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. I done the patch test 48 hours prior to the actual dye. The instructions suggest to leave on for 30-40 minutes. Holy cr*p after 7 minutes my scalp was on fire, the only way I can explain the pain was like having my head tattooed with household bleach. It was truly excruciating!! 

I have had blisters before from bleach but nothing on this level EVER!! I felt very poorly after and ended up going to my doctor to be given medication. 

Trading standards were contacted and actually paid me a visit to my house and sent a sample to the labs to be tested. 

Later found out this product contains PPD which has caused many deaths but doing a patch test will not show this up, so just a heads up - go very very careful on what you put on your hair. And a massive lesson learned - you get what you pay for. 

Hope this has given everyone a heads up and a warning!  Keep an eye out for my next post you beauties!
