A member asked:

Bleached hair at h.dressers, 12hrs later feels slight burn, scalp not red, should i be worried it is burnt or it would show by now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: But if the burning sensation continues should have it evaluated. A chemical allergic reaction would have been worse than what you are describing.
