Nigerian woman reveals what hair dye did to her
A Nigerian woman has taken to Twitter to show how hair dye she applied on her hair affected her in the year 2020.
The woman, who says she’s allergic to a particular ingredient in black dyes, shared two photos showing the extent of the damage done to her face after she dyed her hair.

The hair dye left her with a swollen face that forced her eyes shut.
She made the post on the platform in reaction to an educative post made by Aproko Doctor on the effect of illegal hair dyes on the skin.
The medical doctor wrote that some hair dyes contain a substance known as PPD (p-Phenylenediamine), which is an illegal, toxic substance that can have adverse effects on the skin when applied.
He wrote:
Before you apply hair dye on your head, please check if PPD (p-Phenylenediamine) is part of the ingredients. PPD is so powerful and toxic that it is illegal to use it on the skin.
This lady had a reaction to PPD and it caused her head to swell.
