This article is a continuation of the previous article I wrote, about a very serious condition of having your hair burn off your scalp by using a simple box of dye.

In my original article, I told the story of a lady that I know, who had suffered a terrible loss, when her head was burnt by a treatment of hair-dye.

The reason I am writing this article, is because she has given me pictures to show you, of what her recovery had looked like, what the burns looked like. Everywhere the dye touched her hair was burnt off. Daisy wouldn't be too happy with her pictures being spread out all over the net, so we are making these photos exclusive for searchwarp.com, and sacreeta.com. Daisy wanted people to visually see what she went through, and if anyone wants to use the photos, you only need to message me.

In my cover story, I had nicknamed her Daisy, and we'll still go with that.

Here is the first initial burn that Daisy had suffered. You can see the redness in the skin, she said that it was burning, and burning on the inside. What ever cream was prescribed for Daisy, it didn't stop the burning feeling, and the only cream she said made her feel better, was cortisone, which her Doctor told her wasn't for burns, but as she found out, it did promote hair growth.


After the first year, in this photo you can see a little hair growth around the rim of her burn, but not much had changed. She was still irritated everyday, as the new hairs were poking through, it made her exceptionally itchy.
 
 

This picture was taken a year later, and still felt irritated all the time. Daisy's self-esteem had all but diminished, she had completely stopped socializing, and started to turn into a bit of an introvert, which was completely opposite to her normal personality of happy go lucky. She said the trauma, was a humbling experience, and really makes you realize how much she really had.. She felt like she had it all, and didn't know it. She really was fading on us, spiritually. Daisy was in her 20's. It took a lot of girlfriend time, and support from her loved ones, to help her hang in there waiting for it to heal.
 
 
After four years of growing her hair back, Daisy is finally starting to feel normal again, but is still irritated in a few small spots, now the size of the tip of your finger.

These photos were taken with Daisy's little dig cam, and the pixels aren't very high. There wasn't a lot I could do with them to enhance them, without the photos turning out to be distorted. The pics are also 4 years old.

But it's the best she had, and I thank Daisy for sharing her story and her pictures with all of us, and I am sure no one would leave any comments expressing a negative reaction to make her feel any worse than she already has, and any such comments will be removed, like the old saying goes, if you don't have anything nice to say..

Daisy said to tell you, "This doesn't mean you shouldn't dye your hair, all this means, is that you should be aware of the burning sensation, and rinse it out immediately if you feel it. And that there is a danger when you dye your hair, that they don't tell you about, all of your hair could fall off. I mean, they show you the horrible things that smoking can do to you, graphically on a cigarette box, in some countries. Why can't they show you the risk that you take when you use a simple treatment of hair-dye?" She also added. "It was no allergic reaction, the damned stuff burnt the hair right off my head, and it took four years of torture to get it back."

Amen to that Daisy, thanks again sweetie, take care. I have done some research on the subject, and the case where the lady had sued and was rewarded $150,000.00 she actually had ALL of her hair burned off, at a salon.

If you want to read Daisy's story, here's the link to my article.
 
Peace and Love.
