A Scots student has been forced to wear wigs after a Schwarzkopf hair mask 'turned her blonde locks blue'.
Saskia Parsons was shocked when she realised the 5-minute hair mask allegedly left her with blue streaks through her blonde mane.
The Live Colour and Care Hair Mask Colour Boost in Icy Pearl is designed to give blondes a colour boost.
But the 21-year-old student is so strapped for cash she has been left wearing wigs to cover up her hair until she can afford at home box dyes.
Saskia, from Renton, East Dunbartonshire shared shocking snaps of her hair disaster to warn other Schwarzkopf customers of what could 'happen to them too'.
She told the Record: "I regularly dye my hair at home as I'm a skint student, my hair is usually blonde and I know what I'm doing.
"I bought the mask on March 12 as I thought it would be good to boost the colour of my blonde hair.
"I've used Schwarzkopf home dyes before so I wasn't concerned."
On March 13 Saskia dyed bottom section under her hair blue.
"The blue part of my hair had been dyed properly and was only in the bottom section," she said.
"My hair was clean and I sectioned that part away.
"My partner helped me apply the mask to the top section of my blonde hair.
"I left it on for five minutes then washed it off over the bath, as instructed.
"All of a sudden I could see the condensation was a blue colour and I thought, Oh, my God, what is happening?'"
She added: My hair was almost blue all over, with some patches darker than others, other bits went a green colour and other sections were white.
"I was completely shocked, I've never had any issues before.
"That mask is supposed to just boost your own colour, not dye it blue."
While Saskia hasn't complained to Schwarzkopf, she resorted to wearing wigs while out and about after being left mortified by her dodgy barnet.
"I help with a kids club so wanted to wear blonde wigs going there too," she said.
"I can't really go about with this hair.
"Now I'll need to keep using box dyes and hopefully the colour will gradually fade away.
"I want to warn other people, so this doesn't happen to them too."
Schwarzkopf apologised and has offered Saskia expert help.
A spokesperson from Schwarzkopf told the Daily Record: “We were sorry to hear about Saskia Parsons’ experience and would be happy to offer expert help to identify the cause.
"She can reach us on 0800 3289214.”
