Thank you for sharing this. I am going throught the same experience, but my head looked much scarier than the photos despite taking prescriped antihistanimes. I had to pick something from downstairs. People would freeze looking at me not giving the hello back. That's when I realized how terrifying and not-me I looked and ran to ER and had some kinda direct shot in my blood. Also to mention, I didn't have trouble breathing but all my lymph nodes around my ears were as big as my neck overnight! Now, I am going through the phase that it slightly is moving around my eye (but not as aweful as before the shot). And good to know it would go on its own a week later maybe. I am sharing this video to people who were concerned about me and didn't get how this could happen. I also advise not only testing products (because I did and it only hit 2 days after the whole hair toning) but also see a doctor as soon as there is swelling reaction specially around the ears and forehead.
This happens to too many people for their not to be more education about this. I am sorry that this happened to you and it is indeed a very scary situation. I agree, that whenever a reaction happens, the first thing that should happen is that we head to a doctor to ensure that it does not get out of hand and that we can be treated with the strongest drugs immediately. You just never know what could happen.
Omg!!! I am sorry you went through that terrible experience. I am thinking about dying my hair but now I am scared. I might just bleach the tips. Thank you for sharing with us 💯 I am happy you are back to normal Sherice 🙌
a bit of a late response but patch test your dye!! put some of the dye behind your ear, leave it for 48 hours, and if there are no reactions, it will be okay to dye your hair!
Got my brows tinted Friday & this happened. I noticed it Saturday it’s now Monday & I’m swollen. This has never happen before. Mother Day I had to wear shades & my daughter birthday is today 🥴🙄. I’ve been tinting for years. I’ve learned my lesson. No patch test no service for me. F**k PPD
I think as we get older, our bodies change and we can’t fight off those allergies anymore. I hope the swelling goes down by the end of the week! So sorry this happened to you.
Hey Sherice... you're beautiful and bold. Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to this. It was draining! I am happy to see your full recovery. From hence forth please note that this may affect your skin sensitivity to certain products that contain PPD, not limited to henna for body art, items that have black rubber such as head sets and sunscreens. Thanks again and may you be blessed
As soon as you showed your pictures, I knew what you had because the same thing happened to me, except it wasn't from hair dye. While on the job, I got severe contact dermatitis from touching a dirty military record, & then absentmindedly touching my face. Girl, when I tell you that my face began to itch, burn & shapeshift in front of my eyes...I got that same huge lump that you had on your forehead, my eye began to swell, & my lips tripled in size! I also developed large bumps all over my skin. My coworkers were shocked at my appearance. I ended up going to an urgent care center, & they put me on steroids (prednisone) for two weeks. Just like you said, during the treatment, the lump went down almost instantly, but different parts of my face would randomly swell. I had to take a week off of work, because my appearance was honestly alarming. I felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, just like you said (really, that's the first character that I thought of...the accuracy!). I legit looked like a battered woman. I was ashamed to go out in public because people would just gawk at me. Even after the large bumps disappeared, they left behind dark spots that took months, along with diligent skin care, to fade away. Now, I religiously use an anti-bacterial face wash by Clean & Clear, & whenever I have an itch on my face, I break out the rubbing alcohol. I had contracted another form of dermatitis before this unfortunate incident when I was in college, only it was on another part of my body. The doctor said that I was prone to skin allergies. Luckily, I haven't had another outbreak since (God willing!).
I had a similar experience. I dont know if I was overthinking or not. But people around me also were itching. I felt so insecure. I couldn't go anywhere. I just began isolating myself from people. People began saying things. And this totally ruined me. Never dyeing my hair again!!!
I tinted my eyebrows. I experienced this. Eyes swollen, pussy eye brows. It’s very bad. No doctors. I’m using triple antibiotic ointment, Benadryl, warm washcloth. Glad you’re better. Hope this helps someone
I'm going through this right now and I only try it in small spots of my hair, my whole face is swollen , it's horrible I want it to go away now, this is my second day I already went to the doctor gave an antibiotic and hopefully will work, unfortunately I didn't do the prior test, becareful and read and follow instructions all you people out there.
Its close on 20 years later and I am still allergic to almost all hair dye. Salon products and high emd box dyes give me the worst reaction.. .. minutes. Cheap dyes take a few hours before I get the reaction.
Have you watched the video of the girl who went to the salon and had a henna die with PPD a few years ago? Girl, you look normal compared to what she looked like. Her name is Chemese.
This happened to me too and i was so scared. The scary thing was that i already felt sick like i got a cold or chill when the dye was on my head. That was the first sign something was wrong. 3 days later i woke up with swollen eyes and red patches of itchy skin all over my face. Just horrible. After that months later i tried to dye my hair with indigo and henna wich was 100 pure plant powders said the package. I didn´t think i was gonna react to this because i used it 3 times before. Unfortunely i started itching 3 days later and also had swollen eyes and was super scared. So for me no hairdyes at all ever again!! I am now even afraid of certain plants or colorants in foods like blue cause it is sometimes made from indigo plant and some AZO dyes that have overlapping chemical structures like PPD.
Sister thank you for your video I just got out of the hospital my head swelled up like a complete balloon my face my eyes the sides of my head I look like a big groper fish and thank you for your video because I had to show the doctors your video so they know what I was going through they didn't know what I look like so once I showed them my photo in your video they were like oh my God so I would like to say thank you for this video
@@dominiquecarla9035 - I found mine got worse each day, but with different symptoms, it was as if it was moving around my face...first it was my forehead, then my eyes....but by the 4 or 5th day it started to subside. It is a very scary experience.
Hi, thank you for uploading this. Yes you are right theres not a lot in youtube like this . And this just happened to me. May i know how long its took you to fully recover?
PPD in semi-permanent color? That's strange. Semi-permanent hair dyes usually don't have PPD in them. You're probably just allergic to the actual dye/ink itself like I am. I have issues with hair color whether it's permanent, demi-permanent, semi-permanent, etc.
I had a reaction too! I have been in a horrible itchy mess! My woke neck, face, and arms are an itchy mess! Its been horrible! The itchiness and swelling in my eyes has been horrible! I will never dye my hair ever again! I have had this over a month! I did a patch test the second time and no reaction so I dyed my hair and the reaction was worse than the first time. Never again!
It almost sent me to er too...But if you put sweet n low sugar in your dye b4 u dye ur hair It want itch..I put about 7 individual packs...I got the info off of you tube about 4 years ago...hope it help someone..
Madam I had been through similar infection whn I applied black hair die. Docotor advised I’m allergic to PPD so if any natural colour or alternative please do advice..
This is happening to me right now. I just dyed my hair black like 3 days ago and have been taking Benadryl and using a cold compress on it all day but my face and forehead were so swollen, they are slightly less swollen now but every time I take the cold compress away it swells like crazy again. I’m not sure if I should go to the ER or just keep on with the benadryl and compresses. I’m getting hives all over my face, neck, and ears too. I’ve never had an allergic reaction to this hair dye before and my hairdresser has used the same brand on me for years. I heard that PPD can be more concentrated in black and darker hair dyes so since this is my first time going this dark I am wondering if that was the cause. This video is definitely helping me keep calm. Especially seeing how chill you are being about it all. Hopefully it just calms down and I won’t have to go to the ER, it hasn’t gotten significantly worse or gone to my eyes like it did to you so I’m gonna wait and see what happens. Thanks for posting this though! Definitely not using that black hair dye anymore. I am glad you have fully recovered though!🤗 #thequasimodolook Edit: I should clarify the swelling just started today. It was just really itchy and red before and now it’s gone full Quasimodo on me 😂
Wow! Yes, I think it definitely is the black dye. The PPD is concentrated in that for some reason. Trust me, I am ONLY this calm because I am removed from the situation at the time of filming, I was a complete and total WRECK while it was happening. I would advise if you feel unsafe to go to the doctor just to ensure that everything is fine. As much as a love super black hair, I can't take the risk again! I hope that you get better soon! Please keep me updated!
@@SHESOMAJOR that definitely makes me feel better about the total wreck I was yesterday as well😂 My eyes started to swell yesterday so I ended up going to the doctor and now I am on steroids for the next week along with Benadryl. Thank you for your concern and thoughtful response! I am so glad you made a video about this as it’s something I had never experienced nor even heard of as a possibility when I went to dye my hair black. I will definitely be warning my family and friends to do patch tests in the future, even if it’s a brand they have been using consistently and trust. You just never know, thanks again and stay healthy!🤗💙
@@Rosyln - Happy to hear that you went to the doctor. Can never be too careful! I was also on steroids! I think you will be good in a few days. A scary situation.
Please go to hospital im living this right now i though ill treat it my self with some anthistamines but no u have to go to doctor he will give u some cortisone/steroid course for 5 days and y will be fine trust me y need to go otherwise it wont go away i went yesterday to the emergenicies
I can't tell you that, I can only give you my experience. My swelling reduced within five days....but I also went to the doctor and got medication. If you haven't I suggest you visit a doctor to ensure they give you the necessary medications that you may need to help resolve the issue as quick as possible.
This just happened to me Iast Wednesday I used a jet black box dye I been using for years and boom got a allergic reaction😬 I don’t with this on nobody my scalp is itchy with scabs, my ears are swollen and itchy and a rash on my face
I see a lot of girls commenting that went through this! As i am too, theres literally nothing i see to help with the scalp! Anyone known of something to soothe it???? 😢
You have to wash out the irritant product....then get some medicine. I went to the doctors office and was given steroids but it had to wear off. It's not easy fix tbh. Mine took a few days to go away.
@SHESOMAJOR I did a baking soda & dandruff shampoo wash like 3 times, feels better. Went to the hospital yesterday and all was given was 3 pills. Was it steroid cream yougot?
This is happening to me currently right now and let me tell you I started to see my face swell up and the crazy part is before seeing your video I was telling my family I look like Quasimodo and than when I saw your video today it just made me laugh a little because you related to this cartoon character Quasimodo and I thought it was so funny for a second lol I needed this video because this crap is no joke. To be honest it is mentally & emotionally exhausting. Honestly this sucks and I know how you were feeling because I am currently feeling like that right now… Ahhh God bless u and Thank you for this video much love 💕
You're welcome. It is a very scary and emotional experience. Please do go to a doctor if you are able to just to ensure a quicker recovery. I think more women and men should be aware of the potential effects of using hair dye and not testing. I hope that you have a speedy recovery!
Hi did you get any help with your situation... I dyed my hair on Friday (6 days ago). The symptoms started on Friday night when my head was on fire, yesterday I cut off my hair and went to a clinic were I got my medication but the swelling keep on getting worse... How did you deal with the swelling if it is reduced? Thank you any information will be appreciated
Hey! I washed out the hair dye, you need to try get as much as it out. Do not shower though, if someone can assist you because I showered and it went all over my face and thats when things went really bad. I went to the doctor and had steroids after washing it out.
Of all the videos I have been watching as I am going through this, this one is the best. Thank you.
You're welcome. I hope you get better asap!
Although an unfortunate experience, you have a way of sharing the experience that keeps the viewer from start to finish.
Thank you friend! You know I try my best.
I went through the same thing last January. I’m still dealing with the after effects of the dye allergy. My scalp still isn’t the same.
My scalp took a while before getting back to normal but now its much better! I hope yogurt some relief!
What treatment do you take.Were you given steroid to cure your reaction?
Thank you for sharing this. I am going throught the same experience, but my head looked much scarier than the photos despite taking prescriped antihistanimes.
