It seems that youngsters are not that much inclined towards body piercing and tattoos, rather they are taking more interests on coloring their hairs. Presently, the hottest trend among teens is coloring their hairs that actually screech in shocking colors like napalm orange, atomic pink, and electric blue.
Just Go through an Expert’s Opinion
According to, Vincent Crump of the Auckland Allergy Clinic, extended and continuous use of hair dye, especially some of the permanent colors, may make the chances higher for a person to suffer a severe allergic reaction. “People need to be aware if you’re going to dye your hair – especially if it’s a permanent dye – that you run that risk, “he said.
Dr Crump has expressed his concern after a test was carried on how a woman, Pam Douglas in Hamilton, had a very bad reaction caused by the hair dye she applied, resulting in other women to come forward in her support as well as to warn others about the troublesome effects.

The hair dye allergy issue can be resolved
by manufactures including polyethylene caps
with the gloves they include. Caps blend with
complete coverage, softer results, less mess,
without skin reaction. They can be made for pennies.

I had a severe allergic reaction to hair dye. I have been to the ER, and to the Drs. twice. It has been a month since I’ve dyed my hair. I was on predisone for 3 weeks. I also have been taking benydrle, still to date. I am getting better, but it has been taking it’s time. I’m still pretty itchy. My head had gotten so burnt, for the next few days their was a terrible oozing. My head felt so tight. I don’t wish this on anyone.I guess I have to wait out the rest.My body is getting severe cramping, I think due to the allergy meds. It must be taking to much water out of my system. Good luck to anyone else that has had to indure this terrible allergy.

I have been getting my hair dyed at a salon for about 10 years, and about 4 months ago I got what I thought was a chemical burn at first, but it didn’t heal. Dumb me, got my hair dyed again 2 months later and I got the same reaction only much worse, my whole neck & behind my ears was raw, brokem out, itchy & sore. I finally went to the doctor & was diagnosed with a severe allergic reaction to the dye. I was prescribed prednisone & it went away but as soon as I stopped it came back (because I still have the color in), now I am trying to decide if I need my color strippe (which I probably do)and if I need to go back to the doctor.

I had been dyeing my hair for more than 10 years with the same Hair Dye, Clairol Semi-Permanent, when, about a month ago I had a terrible hair dye allergy. My forehead, the back of my ears and the back of my neck were covered with red patches and my head is feeling very tight as if someone was pulling my hair from the back. This allergy seems to have started the worse dandruff I’ve ever seen and everywhere I go I leave a trail of dandruff behind me which is so embarrassing. I was prescribed a shampoo which I am also allergic to and had to stop using it. I’m going back to the doctor next week. I am feeling so distressed about the whole thing, wondering whether it’s ever going to get better. Most of all, I worry about the tightness in my head, I feel as though I am being squeezed and pulled in all directions. I’ve never known anything like it and feel very sorry for anyone who has had to go through the same situation. Be very careful how you use these products.

I had my hair dyed at a salon, and then a couple of weeks later I put a rinse in to darken it a little. Some ten minutes later I developed a large rash on my chest and neck. Then within a further few minutes difficulty in breathing. My husband and I live on a property 45 minutes from town. We headed off but had only gone around 10 km when I had serious trouble breathing. Called 000 and met the ambulance some 15 minutes later…by which stage I was almost unconcsious.
Doctor said I had an anaphylactic reaction and my next one would be more serious. So now I must carry an epipen with me.
Be careful people.
