What to Do When You’re Allergic to Hair Color Dye

Common allergic reactions to hair dye include skin rashes, contact dermatitis, swelling of the face and neck, and irritation of the eyes. The triggers for an allergic reaction include the presence of compounds such as resorcinol and PPD, common ingredients found in synthetic hair coloring products. However, people who experience allergic reactions from hair dyes do have other options. Here’s a close look at alternatives to chemical-laden hair coloring treatments, and the key benefits of plant-based hair dyes for people with allergies:

Best Hair Coloring Options for People with Allergies

An all-natural hair coloring product is your best option when you have experienced an allergic reaction from the chemical hair coloring process. You don’t have to settle for rashes, bumps and discomfort after coloring your hair when you choose a vegetable-based or plant-based dye made with only all natural ingredients. Some of the best hair coloring options for people with allergies include:

·         Henna

·         Hair color made with vegetable extracts

·         Plant-based dyes

Both henna and hair color made with vegetable extracts offer a number of benefits for people with allergies. Firstly, these hair coloring products are derived from natural compounds and do not require the use of chemicals and processing agents such as ammonia or hydrogen peroxide to deliver the color to the hair shaft. Secondly, these hair coloring products will nourish and condition the hair upon application, which means your hair will feel softer and become more resilient the more times you apply it.

Still, plant-based dyes, or natural dyes bound by mordants, are among the best solution for people with allergies.
