Tina Littlewood thought she was dying – Âafter an allergic reaction to her hair dye.
The 41-year-old has vowed never to colour her hair again after suffering horrific burns while using a home-dye kit.Â
The waitress’s head swelled to the size of a Ârugby ball and she could not open her eyes for five days.Â
Tina, from Catterick, North Yorks, was rushed to hospital covered in blisters, where doctors put her on a strong course of medication to ease the pain.
Tina Littlewood was rushed to hospital after her head swelled up so much that she was unable to seeÂ
She said: ‘It was so terrifying that at one point I thought, ‘This is it, it’s over – I’m going to die because of a hair Âcolour.’
‘It was agony – I thought I would be left blind, if not worse.’ Â
Six weeks later, the swelling has gone down but Tina says her arms and legs are still scabby and itchy.Â
She has now vowed to go grey and never colour her hair again.
She said: ‘It isn’t worth it, it was the most terrifying experience of my life – I never want to go through that again.’Â
The trouble started when she decided to use Clairol’s Nice ‘N Easy before Âvisiting her son Matt, 24, a soldier based in Norfolk.
