A woman is suing cosmetics company L’Oreal after apparently mis-dying her hair. The mishap seems to be the fault of the woman – who grabbed the wrong tube of hair color – and dyed her “naturally blond” hair a dark brown.
Perhaps because of this, the judge dismissed the case, ruling that the woman had presented no evidence supporting her claim of negligence against the hair care company.
According to the lawsuit in 2003 the woman purchased a tube of L’Oreal permanent hair color from a local supermarket to touch up her naturally blond hair.
A friend was applying the hair color when Feeney realized that her hair was turning a dark brown, instead of the blonde she was hoping for. The lawsuit goes on to say, she tried to return her hair to its natural color but it remains brown, which she thinks is not a great asset.
She was suing, she says, because she was “mentally and physically in shock,” the woman states in court documents. “I was sick to my stomach, I had headaches, I don’t like myself, I stay home more than ever in my life, I wear hats most of the time.” Considering this was several years ago, it’s still unclear why she just couldn’t go back to blond. If nothing else she could utilize a high-end stylist who would have access to re-dying materials, yoko scissor for a nice hair cut, and the ability to finish with a great hair style.
L’Oreal, in court papers filed in the case, disputed Feeney’s claim that the wrong color was in the box of hair dye she had purchased. The firm also contended if she did pick out brown dye instead of blonde she should have realized her mistake if she had followed the directions on the package to first do a strand test.
