A beauty fanatic claims she was left with horrifying chemical burns and needing a skin graft on her head after getting her hair bleached. Ellie Swain was left with a permanent bald batch after booking scalp treatment to lighten her brunette hair.
The 24-year-old claims she began to feel a burning sensation on her head just ten minutes after the bleach had been applied at a beauty salon in May 2021. Days later her scalp blistered and began oozing pus and she claims she was told she had suffered serious 'chemical' burns.
She was forced to have half of her head shaved off, and horrifying photos show a skin graft which was needed from her thigh to replace dead skin on the back of her head. The travel worker is now forced to wear extensions for the rest of her life to hide the bald patch, which measures ten by seven centimetres.
