Mum warns parents about Penneys product that turned her daughter’s hair green

One mum is warning other parents to be careful after a packet of Penneys bobbles turned her daughter’s hair green.

Lowri Jones says she’s been washing her daughter’s hair non-stop in the hopes of washing the colour out of her hair but with no success.

Speaking to the Daily Post about what happened, Lowri says her four-year-old Celyn was wearing the dark bobbles while swimming when she noticed it.

“On Monday, I put Celyn’s swimming costume, tied her hair up with one of the bobbles we’d bought from Primark to keep her hair out of her face.

“About 20 minutes later, I started to notice her hair was turning green. I took the bobble out and the green dye just spread throughout her hair.”

Lowri says she didn’t worry too much about it initially, but then grew worried when it wasn’t rinsing out.

“I thought the water in the paddling pool would wash it out, but it didn’t.”

Since then, she’s tried multiple shampoos and even washing-up liquid in a bid to get the colour out but no luck.

“Celyn’s hair is very light so you can see there’s still quite a lot of green in it.

“Her hair does look a mess and she’s having to go to school like that. I’ve explained to the teachers but Celyn is loving it.”

The mum has emailed Primark HQ to complain about the product but is now telling parents to be careful the same does not happen their child’s hair.

Primark has responded to the complaint, saying:

“The quality of our products is extremely important to us. I can confirm that an email has been received and Primark will investigate this complaint.”
