Hair straightening chemicals that are used in some salons are very not good on our scalp...didn't you notice that before they put the chemical fist, they have to spray a water on your hair...that's because this chemicals can burn the scalp...not only burn our scalp but it is also hot when it heats our skin.. What you should do is to consult a Doctor...To treat the burns.

Chemical burns are very common when using the following: Hair Bleach Lighting Hair colors Perm solutions Straightening solutions Only use cold water. Find a very thick hair conditioner and leave it one after you wash you hair mildly for at least 15 min. Wella puts out a very good one if you have a beauty supply store near you. If they don't clear up in a week, see a doctor. That was not bleach they used on you. It was a chemical striaghtener. They may blister up and then scab over. Do NOT brush hard. Brush away from the scalp and do not pick scabs. X Cosmotologist of 18 years

I apply aloe vera (the plant) directly to my skin when I have burns. This tends to heal the scab within 2 days if you are diligent about applying the salve.
