She dyed her hair and ended up in the hospital!

Kyrie Martin, an 18-year-old woman living in North Carolina, was hospitalized after trying to dye her hair blonde.

In February, Martin went to a salon to change her dark brown hair before prom and the ceremony.

According to Ntv's DailyMail report, the 18-year-old stated that she has been dyeing her hair completely for the last four years, saying, "I love dyeing my hair. I've been dyeing my hair since I was 14. I've never had a bad dye job."

However, about an hour after applying the foil to her hair, Martin began experiencing an intense burning sensation. It was reported that when the foil was removed during the treatment, Martin noticed "smoke" coming from her hair.

CHEMICAL BURNS

When he returned home, a long, red line appeared on his head, and soon chunks of skin and hair began to fall out of his scalp. The young man was taken to hospital, where doctors reported he had suffered first-degree chemical burns to the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis.

Doctors had to cut open a hole of dead skin the size of an orange on the university student's body, leaving Martin with a bald spot. "I haven't grown a single hair follicle since the incident," Martin said. "I may never have hair there again."

It is stated that chemical burns may be caused by substances such as hydrogen peroxide or ammonia found in hair dye that irritate the skin.

EXPERTS WARNED

Martin described the physical and psychological pain she experienced: "I was in the middle of my senior year, I had prom and graduation, so I wanted to change my hair color. But I suffered so much as a result of this death. My best day was ruined by the burn on my scalp," she said.

Experts emphasize that topical corticosteroids and, if necessary, antibiotics are used in the treatment of burns, and that hair follicles must be intact for hair to regrow.
