BEAUTY fans claim their hair was stained green after using L’Oreal Colorista dye.
The £6.99 semi-permanent pastel hair colour comes in 13 shades, from lilac to bright orange, and is said to wash out in “one to two weeks”.
But users have taken to Twitter and said, weeks or months after they used it, the colour has faded but left a blue or green tinge.
Lydia wrote: “L’Oreal Colorista hair dye in purple turned my hair GREEN. I’ve been using semi perm. hair dyes for years, THIS IS THE WORSE THING EVER.”
Clara commented: “I’ve been wondering why my hair turned green and now I just found out that apparently L’Oreal Colorista stains your hair green.”
Kayleigh wrote: “Never use L’Oreal Colorista washout, put the blue one in my hair in Feb. came out green never washed out and now bleach won’t take it out.”
Another social media user shared a shot of her green-tinged brunette locks, and said: “How can I get rid of this green tint in my hair? It’s from L’Oreal Colorista bleach then colorista teal. I don’t think it’s washing out any…”
L’Oreal warns that people with bleached or blonde hair should not use the turquoise, burgundy, red or orange dyes.
However, there’s no suggestion that lilac, blue or purple aren’t suitable for bleached or blonde hair.
The temporary dye is currently for sale on Amazon, where it has 53 one star reviews.
"As with all hair colour products, the end-result will vary from individual to individual based different factors, including application techniques, hair condition and hair colour history.
"L’Oréal Paris takes all feedback from our consumers very seriously. We will investigate this matter further and will take the appropriate decisions regarding the particular shades."
Meanwhile, a mum who tried to dye her hair ‘unicorn’ colours is now BALD after £5 bleach left her with severe scalp burns.
In April we told how a woman suffered a horrendous allergic reaction to Garnier hair dye that left her face covered in weeping and painful sores.
