[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A story has emerged about a woman in her 20s living in New York, USA, whose face became severely swollen to the point that her husband could not recognize her after a hair dye treatment at a salon.

According to reports from foreign media including the British Daily Mail on the 8th, Kelly Krupner (26) experienced an abnormal reaction in her body after dyeing her hair at a salon on the 24th of last month. Kelly's face became severely swollen and developed a rash. Furthermore, her forehead and neck appeared red as if burned, and blisters formed.

Kelly discovered her face was swollen when she woke up during the night after dyeing her hair. Even her husband could not recognize her.

The hairstylist conducted an allergy patch test before dyeing Kelly's hair, but it is known that they did not allow sufficient time to observe the reaction. Contrary to experts' advice that hair dye allergy tests should monitor skin reactions for up to 48 hours, Kelly's observation period was only one hour.

Kelly claimed she had never experienced allergic reactions to any beauty products before.

The doctor treating Kelly estimated that it would take 3 to 4 weeks for her to fully recover. The doctor reportedly told her, "This is the worst reaction I have seen caused by hair dye," and advised her to take a week off work because her eyes were so swollen that driving was unsafe.

In an interview with local media, Kelly said, "I shared the photos to prevent others from going through the same experience," and added, "I would advise anyone to do a patch test regardless of the product they use for safety."
