Hello,
I have been getting my hair permanently coloured (roots touched up with Aveda product) every six weeks at the same salon for over three years now. The last time I suffered an allergic reaction once I arrived home. Seeing as how I can no longer continue this regime, what am I supposed to do now? My roots will be grey. Any advice / suggestions? I am desperate! I am willing to try anything ~ short of shaving my head bald and wearing a wig or wearing a hat for the rest of my life!!
 Thank you.

The most obvious option is to stop dying it. Many people have the
belief that they must hide their gray, and I blame hair dye companies
for making all those commercials that told us it had to be that way or
we'd look old and then we'd be miserable. Maybe you should
reconsider why you believe so strongly that you must hide it? Why would being bald be better than being gray? If you do choose to continue dyeing with chemicals you should definitely go have the allergy test done at your next salon each time before getting your head done so you'll know for sure. On the natural route, I heard that applications of sage (made into a tea) can darken gray hair to a brown, I don't however know what is in the aveda dye. If its sage you are allergic to, that definitely won't work. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |
