Beauty Company Conair Sued by Model for Allegedly Disfiguring Her Head

Conair makes products to help people look like their best selves … but, one model claims it did the exact opposite to her — suing the company after she says their products left her head bloody and mangled.

Lea Encarnacion — a former New York City hair model — is suing the conglomerate for an alleged 2020 incident where she says she worked as a hair model for the brand at a convention in Long Beach.

Encarnacion says stylists at the event employed by Conair “negligently applied” a hair-bleaching product to her locks and didn’t remove it in a timely manner.

Lea says she was left with a severely injured scalp — and, she’s included pictures she says show the extent of her injuries.

Word of warning … these pics ain’t for the faint of heart — ’cause they show her bloody, scabbed-up scalp. The scabbing adds a yellowish tinge to the blood-red injury, and obviously the hair’s completely gone.

According to Lea’s attorneys, the hair hasn’t grown back — and, she now has a heart-shaped bald spot on top of her head.
