I am extremely allergic to most of the Hair coloring products, that are over the counter. For the first one year, I had very little reaction. Then my scalp would become itchy , for a few days after the coloring. Later my whole body would miserably become itchy. I found out that most of the Home hair dyes often contain para-phenylenediamine and that is what I was allergic to. My sister would react more profoundly. Her eyes would swell up and also rashes would appear, wherever the skin came into contact, with the chemical. She now only uses Henna. I recently found a Hair coloring product called Naturcolor in a health store close to me after some extensive online research. I have used this product for the past one year now. So far I have not found any adverse reaction.
Being allergic to Hair dye/Hair color is not pleasant at all. Unless there is too much gray to cover, sticking to Henna, since it is natural, as far as possible is my opinion.
