If you are allergic to hair dye/colour, it is important to understand the causes and symptoms of the allergy, as well as the steps you can take to prevent it from happening.

 

Tips to help you avoid a hair dye allergy on your scalp:

 

Perform a patch test:

Before colouring your hair, do a patch test to check if you are allergic to the hair dye. Apply a small amount of the hair dye to a patch of skin on your arm and wait for 48 hours to see if there is any reaction.

 

Use natural hair dyes:

If you have a history of hair dye allergies, consider switching to natural hair dyes free of chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.

 

Choose hair dyes for sensitive skin:

Look for hair dyes specifically designed for people with sensitive skin, as they are less likely to cause an allergy.

 

Avoid leaving the dye on for too long:

Follow the instructions carefully and do not leave the hair dye on your scalp for longer than recommended, as this can increase the risk of an allergy.

 

Seek medical help:

If you experience any symptoms of a hair dye allergy, such as redness, itching, or blisters, seek medical help immediately at Vitals skin and hair klinic in Bangalore.
