'NCIS' Star Pauley Perrette Issues Warning About Hair Dye After Having Allergic Reaction

Perrette's severe allergic reaction landed her in the hospital.

NCIS actress Pauley Perrette suffered a severe allergic reaction caused by her hair dye that landed her in the hospital.

The 45-year-old star, who plays forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on the hit show, warned her Twitter followers to be careful about hair dye allergies in order to avoid having their heads "swell up like a melon" or worse.

Perrette is a natural blonde but she has been dyeing her hair for the past 20 years.

"The other half of my face had become twice the size of my head," she told CBS Los Angeles.

She experienced warning signs six months ago when a rash developed on her scalp and neck, but ignored it. Perrette is considering natural hair dye or possibly wearing a wig.

I should add that “beauty products” are notorious for changing their ingredients with no warning, so it’s really no surprise that allergic reactions happen even if someone has used a product multiple times in the past with no problem.

More to the point, when shooting the original Star Trek show, William Shatner was stung by a wasp on the eyelid, and they had to be very crafty, and use a ton of makeup, to hide it.

I thought Kirk was allergic to Tribble dander.

The blacks are the worst of the worst.

They *all* come from coal tar dyes.

I color my hair and I don’t apologize for it. When my hair grew back after chemo, it grew back steel gray. No way I am going to have gray hair yet. Solly Chally

NCIS is the number one show on TV. It started in 2003. She does the hair dye for a character. How is not using hair dye growing up?

GIRL! Love it! I have a friend, a longtime Freeper, whose hair is long and curly and it’s that same color. It’s gorgeous.

Perfect! Maybe she’ll have to quit the show and we get Ziva back.

She co-starred in that movie with a former neighbour of mine. Enrico Colantoni played the leader of the alien delegation.

I don’t use hair dye but friends do - they’d put a bit on their wrist or arm to see if there’s a reaction. They always stick to a product they know and it’s only for the occasional hair lightening not a color change.

A woman who lives in my town is related to a very, very famous comedian. She was a stunningly beautiful blond with long hair. I saw her a month ago, and she’d stopped coloring her hair. She’s prematurely gray, like Emmy Lou. She’s more beautiful now then she was as a blond! And she really stands out from the crowd! Yowza!
