Coils coils & more coils!
Has anyone here ever used this product and had a problem before? I was thinking about trying out a texturizer sometime in the near future. I came across this article on my local news website...I hope that it is ok to post it...Hard to tell if it was something she did...or the texturizer in general. Either way it is scary...
For many women, how their hair looks has a great deal to do with how they feel about themselves.
So, imagine how one local woman felt when the hair she was trying to improve fell out. She claims it was caused by a hair product.
People have used hair relaxers for years to make their hair more manageable. But now all Theresa Hornbuckle has to manage is how to cover up the little hair she has left.
"I could just rub it and it just all came out," she said.
Hornbuckle hates wearing a bandana, but it's all she has to cover her bald head. She said she used Shear Elements Sensitive Scalp Texturizer, hoping to get the natural-looking curls the product promised.
But she said that within minutes of combing it into her hair, "I looked at the comb and it's in the comb -- my hair, literally."
She said she quickly put on the neutralizing shampoo.
"As I'm in the tub, leaning over the tub, the hair is just falling in the tub. When I get up, all of my hair comes out in my hand," Hornbuckle said.
She said she was devastated.
Hornbuckle said, "You go from hair to no hair in a matter of minutes."
Channel 11's Becky Thompson asked, "And you followed these instructions?"
Hornbuckle said, "To the tee."
Thompson asked, "So, you never got any redness or rash?"
Hornbuckle said, "Nothing. It wasn't in long enough."
She said the product took her hair from a curly texture to what now appears to be something that could be spun into yarn.
Channel 11 called the president of Pro Line International, the manufacturer of Shear Elements. He said Hornbuckle's problem is very unusual.
Even though the label warns of hair loss if the product is used on damaged or chemically treated hair, he said hair doesn't just fall out; it's shed over days. But Hornbuckle said her hair wasn't chemically processed.
Pro Line said the first thing it'll do is pull the samples from that product batch and test them.
In the meantime, Hornbuckle said the company didn't attempt to remedy her problem until Channel 11 called. Now, she said, she's suing for $5,000.
