Can I use vegetable hair colour if I am allergic?Updated 6 months ago
Our natural hair colors are made from 100% plant-based ingredients and contain no chemical additives, which makes them generally well tolerated. As with food, allergic reactions and intolerances can occur with natural cosmetic products, even if the risk here is much lower than with traditional hair dyes.
To be super safe, you can do a patch test.
This is the first step: Mix up a small amount of dye, then put it in the crook of your arm and behind your ear on your neck and cover it with a patch. After 60-120 minutes, rinse everything off with clear water and observe the area for about 48 hours. A slight reddening is no reason for concern here, as plant hair dye stimulates the blood circulation wonderfully.
As contact allergies can also occur even if there have been no problems with the allergen in the past, please look out for symptoms that go beyond a very slight itching or tingling and feel free to contact us if you are unsure.
For sensitive scalps, we recommend our Neem Harmony hair oil and Lavender Sensitive shampoo between colorings.
