Hi everyone! I have been coloring my hair since I was 15(many years ago) and have never had an allergic reaction to any hair product. I had to start using Rogaine for hair loss and since then, haircoloring has been a nightmare. Even the most natural of products makes my scalp itch. I simply CANNOT stop coloring my hair so I was wondering if anyone knows of a remedy to stop allergic reactions prior to haircoloring. BTW, a patch test was useless because I was not allergic to the product on my arm, only on my head. Any advice will be appreciated. First time on this site-I`m in hair heaven!! ------------- Curly Carrie Check Out CurlTalk at HairBoutique.com |

I read an article once that said that one in a thousand women are allergic to hair color, so you are a special person, Carrie. ;) When you say that "even the most natural of products" gives you trouble, do you include henna? I know some people that are allergic to hair color but have been able to use henna without any reactions at all. ------------- Merlin |

Maybe the Rogaine is making your scalp sencitive. Try not using it a few days before coloring. ------------- donnado |
