'It makes you realise how lucky you are because you really do rely on your eyes so much. Saffron, who has a spinal condition which affects her mobility, said: 'I'm in a wheelchair so had to rely on other people to guide me everywhere and take me to the toilet. Saffron was admitted to hospital for two days where she had to be guided to the toilet and fed meals due to her poor vision. I sort of mentioned to my husband it's not going down very fast, sometimes my eyes would open a little bit then just close up.' 'I had a headache for ten days and it took about the same time for the swelling to go down too. Saffron Veal has now fully recovered after her frightening reaction to the hair dye (Image: Kennedy News and Media) They were a bit concerned about the swelling travelling down onto my chest and into my throat. It was just a case of waiting for the swelling to go down. I got admitted to hospital and they started me on steroids and antihistamines to try and get it to go down. I couldn't see anything and had a terrible headache. We went straight to A&E at Lymington and they sent us to the general hospital in Southampton. Saffron said: 'The ambulance came out at 10am and by 1pm I couldn't see out of both eyes, they were completely closed. However, three hours later Saffron's condition worsened and she was unable to see out of both her eyes due to the severe facial swelling. By the next morning I looked a bit like an American football - I was swollen on each side of the temples.'Ĭoncerned, Saffron's family dialled 111 and paramedics applied a medicinal hair ointment to treat the blisters which had broken out on her scalp. I started swelling and my head was itching. 'My daughter put it on for me that morning and that evening I felt like something wasn't right. We had a few family gatherings planned so I thought I'd try and get rid of the grey, give myself a bit of confidence. I decided to get myself a semi-permanent hair dye. Saffron said: 'I've always dyed my hair as many women do. The grandma admits the dye left her looking like an 'American football' as her swollen cheeks and eyes were left unrecognisable. Saffron said she was 'really pleased' with how her hair looked after applying the L'Oreal dye on the morning of September 9th - and was only concerned when her head began itching a few hours later.

The skin around my eyes swelled up so big, it stretched the skin, and they've only just healed now. 'I've dyed it hundreds of times in the past since I was 16/17, not always this shade but always L'Oreal. The last time I came out in a reaction it was a permanent colour and this was semi-permanent with no ammonia so I assumed it would be fine. When I'd dyed my hair with semi-permanent in the past I'd never had this reaction. As soon as I felt the burning and itching I knew it was an allergic reaction. I didn't expect it to get it as bad as it did. Saffron said: 'I looked like a chipmunk or a bowling ball.

The grandma admits she didn't undertake a patch test before applying the dye - and now implores others to take the vital precaution. Shocking photos show Saffron's face blown up like a bowling ball, leaving her eyes so swollen she was unable to see. But just hours later she had to rush to hospital after losing vision in one of her eyes. Three years after her previous reaction, the grandma-of-three decided to spruce up her look ahead of an upcoming family gathering and headed to her local Superdrug in Southampton to purchase the dye.

The mum-of-five had used the brand and specific shade - black cherry - countless times in the past, admitting she had reacted once to the hair dye, but says doctors had attributed it to the medication she was taking at the time. The 49-year-old had dyed her hair 'hundreds of times' in the past and never expected her face to blow up to epic proportions after applying the L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss hair dye. Saffron Veal, from Southampton, was left hospitalised after suffering a severe allergic reaction to a semi-permanent box dye last month.
