just see a doctor...

Hair straightening chemicals that are used in some salons are very not good on our scalp...didn't you notice that before they put the chemical fist, they have to spray a water on your hair...that's because this chemicals can burn the scalp...not only burn our scalp but it is also hot when it heats our skin..

What you should do is to consult a Doctor...To treat the burns.

Chemical burns are very common when using the following:

Hair Bleach
Lighting Hair colors
Perm solutions
Straightening solutions

Only use cold water. Find a very thick hair conditioner and leave it one after you wash you hair mildly for at least 15 min. Wella puts out a very good one if you have a beauty supply store near you. If they don't clear up in a week, see a doctor.
That was not bleach they used on you. It was a chemical striaghtener.
They may blister up and then scab over. Do NOT brush hard. Brush away from the scalp and do not pick scabs.

I apply aloe vera (the plant) directly to my skin when I have burns. This tends to heal the scab within 2 days if you are diligent about applying the salve.

I got a chemical burn from a highlight done at a salon here Cary, NC. I have had so many issues and it has been close to seven months. I now have burning scalp syndrome and telegon efflvium (loss Of hair). I am so upset as my life has turned upside down and the medical bills are crazy. One piece of advice I had to chop my hair off in order to get the chemicals out of my hair follicles!!!

You can get shampoos with Aloe Vera in them. It's a good way to regularly treat the scalp.
