Allergic reaction to hair dye?

ok i have the tendency to dye my hair.. obviously...i have never had a problem with dying my hair till about a year ago i dyed it black and the next day tried to put bright red highlights that were supposed to work with black hair (without bleaching) needless to say it didn't work and i started semi breaking out. well the day after that i redyed my hair back to black ( i know very very bad for my hair) and i later fully broke out because or some type of reaction about two months ago i redyed my hair again to cover my brown and i broke out once again....so my question is do u think i caused my self to become allgergic to hair dye or might it just be because i used cheap hair dye the last two times i've dyed my hair

Allergic reaction to hair dye?

I think it may be the kind of dye you are using. You could have some problems with the acid in the dye. However, this would not pop up just because you colored your hair twice or three times in a row. I have done that before to my self and friends.

However dye can be very hard on your skin.

Try going to a salon, have them try and see what happens with some high end chemicals that are less harsh on the process, your hair and your head.

In order for the chemicals to work that are in the store, they use different reactor chemicals than the ones used in a salon.

Sucks, sorry to hear about the problem.
