Hair Dye Patch Test

[Cloverjo]

Does anyone have experience of allergies to hair dye?
I was going to dye my hair today. I have done it before with no problems, using the same brand I was going to use today. I did the patch test two days ago as instructed. I have now got a scabby rash on the area I put the stuff on, so I suppose I mustn't use it. My question is, am I likely to have a problem with all brands of dye or just this one? Also, as I have used this one before with no problems, might the "allergy" - if that's what it is - go again?
I have no other allergies except for penicillin and nickel.
Thanks.

Since you don't know what ingredient(s) of the dye caused the reaction and you don't know what the ingredients of the other hair dyes are, its impossible to say whether or not you would rect to a different one.. I would definitely do a patch test for any product you want to use. There is also the possibility that the formula of your hair dye has been changed.
"Scabby Rash" sounds more like a contact dermatitis than an actual allergy,

Thanks, woofgang.
I might try a different one to be safe.

If you are going to try a different one, do another patch test!

There was a woman on telly last year and she'd had a VERY violent reaction to the product she had used. Her face and eyes well all swollen up and she looked liked she's been battered in a 15 round fight with Mike Tyson . That was a VERY violent reaction. As others have said, try a different and more gentle product. Nice and Easy should be ok. Good luck Jo xx

The product should be applied for 30mins max for testing and immediately washed off. What strength was the peroxide ? What number tint are you using?
