Call for hair dye warnings after teen’s bad reaction

THE parents of a teenager taken to hospital when her face swelled up after using hair dye have called for better health warnings on packaging.

Charlotte Higgins’s eyes were so puffed up that she could barely see and her neck was covered in a rash after using hair dye.

Charlotte, 13, from Whitchurch, Bristol, is taking steroids to bring down the swelling, which started just two days after she used Clairol’s Perfect 10.
