In the hospital because of hairspray!

“Sent to the Hospital because of GLH Hair Spray!”(1 out of 5 stars!)

I was given this product as a birthday present from my family members. I was using this spray everyday for weeks and I was amazed by how well the spray covered up my thin hair patches. This spray worked so well that my husband found out that I was using it and began using GLH spray on himself. Our children saw us using it every morning and were just as amazed about this spray as my husband and I were. Everything was going great. Then one morning, everything went wrong.
My kids were getting ready for school and I was putting on my daily pound of GLH, (also a bad thing about this spray, you have to put a pound of it on your head if you have blond hair before you notice any changes) and my daughter came into my room and asked if she could help me spray the hairspray onto my bald spots for me. The only thought that went through my head was, “Aw! How sweet! She wants to help me!” I immediately regretted my thoughts.
Instead of spraying the bald spot on the top of my head, I was sprayed in the mouth and eyes with GLH spray. I was choking and screaming, “I’M BLIND, I’M BLIND!” Not only did that make my husband drop the eggs he was cooking in the kitchen, fall on his face and cause a bloody nose, then come running. The thought of going blind gave my daughter an anxiety attack, causing her to pass out. My husband immediately picked up the phone and dialed 911.  
“My wife is going BLIND because of some hairspray!!” my husband screamed into the speaker.
Soon enough I was taken by helicopter to the hospital, where I stayed for seven days. Over those seven days, I had two surgeries, and four nights in the ICU. Apparently I had an allergic reaction when the spray got into my eyes, causing my eyes to swell up and go blind in my left eye. When I got home, my daughter was incredibly relieved that I was somehow still alive, yet both her and I are forever scared of the hairspray product and will NOT continue to use it. If you or someone you know use this spray or plan on using it, I suggest you be very careful of where you spray this violent product on your body.

Well Megan, it looks like your life changed completely with the GLH hairspray. I hope you and your family are safe now and you should really throw that hairspray away. Be safe.

Thanks Jennifer! Yes, my family and I are quickly recovering and the spray has been thrown away. I am sad that my bald spots are now showing but at least I'm not back in the hospital!

Wow! Great job this kept my attention the whole time while reading it. I'm very sorry about your left eye and your daughters anxiety attack...I would suggest a wig rather than hair spray! I love how you included the part about you having an allergic reaction it really explained why it was such a bad reaction!

Megan, I am so incredibly sorry for what happened to you. I can't believe that the makers of GLH would make it so harsh on the body when you are spraying it on the head. Sorry about your daughter as well. I was planning to buy this soon but wanted to see some reviews on it, but now I know not to buy this product!

Wow, what a shocker!!! I had gotten this for my dad as a prank gift, and last night at dinner I noticed that he had actually used it! (not my intent) Thank you for sharing your story, I will warn him right away, hopefully it isn't too late!

I love the edits you made! There were some one-liners that you added in there that made me chuckle. ;) I also really liked the detail... Not just saying that you went blind but, ""I'M BLIND, I'M BLIND!""

I'm really sorry about what happened to you after using the GLH hair spray. That sounds like a terrible week. I hope you and your family get better soon and I'll make sure not to buy this product.
