: Here is a report from the UK's Daily Mail. Ain't this some ISH!!!
A woman died from a massive allergic reaction that could have been caused by the glue in her hair extensions, a pathologist said yesterday.Atasha Graham, 34, who had used hair extensions for 14 years, collapsed after clubbing until the early hours.
Home Office pathologist Michael Heath told the inquest into her death that the latex glue used to apply her extensions – or the solvent for removing old ones – may have been to blame.
He added: ‘I’ve seen cases where people using solvent to apply extensions has actually caused anaphylactic shock.
‘There are about ten to 20 deaths a year in this country, many more in America. I have seen four in the last three months.’
Dr Heath told the hearing at Southwark Coroner’s Court in London: ‘The hair extensions in Atasha’s hair were of a latex type. This may or may not be related [to her death]. If it is the hair extension, normally a reaction would occur within half an hour of applying them.’
But he added that traces of glue or solvent could have seeped into her bloodstream hours later after she started perspiring on the dancefloor.
I saw this on THE STAR website. MTO always "jacking" stories...BIRDS!!!

Sad but not sad. Have some pride, keep it natural! Those chemicals, weaves and other things black women put in their hair are highly toxic. why subject yourself to that in order to please someone else? If you do it for a man, than that man is def not worth your time if he can't love the natural way the creator has made you. I have mad respect for black women who keep it natural! Beautiful
Same thing happened to one of my friends. Her hair stylist was lucky enough to notice the signs and call an ambulance. My friend stayed in the hospital for 3 days; throat closed up and everything!!!! Please be careful with these weaves. If you are going to wear a weave, test the products on your head first!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAD.
@Travis J I really doubt that women wear weave to impress black men...I have never met a black man that prefers weave over natural hair. So you can't blame black men this time lol.
And if a woman wants to throw a weave in her hair, that doesn't mean she hates her natural hair. Maybe she just wants to change it up a little. What's wrong with that?
Hi all, I hate to inform you of some home truths but - the story has been largely distorted by MTO in such bad taste too. So MTO have accessed the article and have distorted it, and presented it to you in a fashion designed to cause uproar amongst you all and seeing that a large number of you have fallen for it - I figured I had to enlighten you.
I am a Londoner (UK), as was the lady at heart of this story. This story went out in the UK press yesterday. The actual tragedy occured last year in March 2011. No one dropped dead on a dancefloor. Such dastardly journalists that work for MTO, that prey on shock-factor stories and manipulate them completely for their benefit to grab our attention is despicable. For those of you interested in the true article- please see the link below:

OKAY SO MY LINK WAS REMOVED- simply go to google: and type 'Atasha Graham Daily Mail' - and read the actual article rather than be swept up in a tide of MTO lies. It doesn't require much effort to read and is certainly warranted by those of you who chose to hastily 'comment' on this piece - armed with inaccurate information. Thanks

I'm sorry that society has MANY of my sistahs thinking they MUST wear weave in order to be beautiful! I have worn weave in the past, but as someone said it was because I didn't want to continuosly heat or burn out my OWN hair, or sometimes I wanted a new look without cutting on changing my hair.
But lets be HONEST... Weaves & Wigs were worn by Old White Politicians 100s of years ago... And MANY White Men still wear Comb overs til this day... So that allergic reaction could've happened to anyone.
White girls wear weave yup it's true but atleast the [EXPLETIVE] weave they wear matches their hair texture why don't you rock a wig or weave whatever that's curly or nappy whatever that's your excuse for everything "white people do it too" so what that doesn't explain why you're doing it and you do it because they do it so you are trying to be like them and then these others blaming black men for black women wearing weaves Lmfao you got to be [EXPLETIVE] me black women wear all of that fake [EXPLETIVE] to impress nobody but themselves and their friends probably not for black men and if it is for them that's sad because they always say they don't like it maybe they wear them because they are butt ugly without it but who wants a girl who has a check list of [EXPLETIVE] to take off before she go to bed hair make up eye lashes nails teeth probably eye brows probably fake to I mean who wants that you think she a dime but by the time all that [EXPLETIVE] come off she a dirty penny ain't that a bitch

HIDE YA KIDS FROM BLACK WOMEN IT'S TAX SEASON BABY!!!!
ALL UP IN YA!!!
We don't have to walk around with bald ass heads looking like dykes or butches if we don't want to. That is wrong with black women today, they get jealous when they see or encounter a woman that likes to look nice, no matter how she wears her hair. It is nothing with wigs or weaves if you wear them properly. You should take time and put them on properly and comb them and make sure they fit your face. Black women are some jealous bitches. If you are loud and ghetto and look like a monster, you can be their home girls. Well I am just the opposite.
90% of YOU PEOPLE need to take a 357 bullet to the brain b/c your comments lack intellect, truth, and meaning. White, Black, Hispanic, whatever...your mothers should have swallowed you instead. Your ignorance makes you think all Black people are supposed to go natural just because you do it. Your racist comments enable us to see how your self worth just be validated through racial hatred. If all Black women are supposed to go natural then everyone should stop wearing nail polish, chapstick, perfume/cologne, deodorant, lotion, and anything else you do not naturally produce. GO NATURAL, U BIGOTS! And you racists, whatever race you are, should pretend you are vampires and drive wooden stakes through your hearts because your death is the only way you won't have to be around people of different races...so DEAL WITH IT. oh, R.I.P., young lady.
The Insanity of the Black Woman never ceases to amaze me. Eventhough, the woman died from the weave/glue/Hair/DNA of a stranger. Do you think the rest of Black Women would stop letting their enemy poison them? No they will insist this would not happen to me. The price of trying to be White! If Black Women Could Wake Up and Be White Tomorrow There Would Not Be A Black Woman Left In America, Europe, and Africa. The Weaves They wear make all of them Bald headed from putting other people Hair/DNA in their Heads :) White Worship and Black Hatred of Self and Kind. Jesus, TV, and Magazine have done a number on the Black Woman.
LOL!! Awesome. I think the universe had to even the score - remember a while back when that skank's life was saved because of her weave? That's how you know you're hood - bitch got shot IN THE HEAD and her weave caught the bullet and saved her.

Anyway, what kind of gross weirdo puts GLUE in their HAIR?!?! The fcuk is that? Some of you bald ass whores will do anything just because someone says it's normal. Nothing is normal about gluing someone else's hair in your head - it's weird. It's weird and gross and janky. Ol' stapled together ass bitches. Wearing a weave and all that makeup and fake [EXPLETIVE] is like openly admitting to the world that you are ugly. It's like walking around with a big red sign over your head with an arrow flashing and pointing down to you going, "WARNING!! UGLY BITCH! WARNING!! UGLY BITCH!"
JustTooMuch has issues, she takes these to the heart. Anyway R.I.P to the lady. I really get sick of other black women convincing other black women with what they should do with hair, it's ridiculous, not all women will rock their natural hair, some like weaves, relaxers, straight, etc. Why are black women dividing themselves over hair texture? I'm a natural, I'm a weave head, I'm relaxed, look at it, doesn't make sense right? Even over hair there is division which shows me that some still don't have the sense to move on and stop the division. I am going to rock my natural hair, because I just want to. My personal choice, i have never convinced anyone else to do it, I mean why would I? I don't even wear weaves really, but I like it if it is nice and all. Black women need to do them ad stop worrying about the next black woman and stop trying to enforce what they want to do on others, it's annoying. It's sickening to hear how some blacks think, men like good looking women, relaxed hair, weaves and wigs, natural curly/kinky/nappy hair, if you look good you can get whoever you want, I know I can. Having natural hair doesn't mean you look good, I have seen plenty of unattractive women with that texture and plenty of attractive women with wigs, weave, and relaxed hair. Stop hating, look good and do you, I don't knock what another woman wants to do.
