It is an older post, but actually this and another post I wrote on hair dye allergy are the most read on my blog and regularly searched by fellow sufferers looking for a solution. It does seem as though allergies in general are on the rise and that there is a growing demand for kinder, more natural products even among those who are not allergic. Hopefully this is good news for us allergy sufferers! xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501319827660438072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075623790999713634.post-16001006426549764632018-12-19T10:04:27.895+00:002018-12-19T10:04:27.895+00:00I know this is an older post but in case someone i...I know this is an older post but in case someone is finding you in a search, people reacting to PPD in the U.S. is now 6%.

I remember trying to ask a hairdresser's advice once and she didn't really know what I was talking about, which made me feel like a complete freak of nature! I would love to know what your earlier stylist used on you. I really hope in the future there will be a greater choice of colourants that are safe for those of us that are allergic. Sadly at the moment I don't think there are enough of us for the big companies to care, they still sell plenty of boxes! xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501319827660438072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075623790999713634.post-47277796698854916722015-04-09T19:20:41.716+01:002015-04-09T19:20:41.716+01:00I think what's scary is you can dye your hair ...I think what's scary is you can dye your hair 100 times and be fine, then develop an allergy and react to the 101st time, when you're far more likely to skip the test!

I'...So sorry you had such a bad experience Kate! I'm actually allergic to hair dye and can't color my hair. Last time I've visited a salon (very fancy one at that) I told the stylist that I sometimes experience an allergic reaction and asked that she washes the color off thoroughly and uses gentler formula, but I still experienced an awful reaction where my ears and neck swell up so badly I couldn't move my head. It took two weeks for it to go away. Years a go I had a stylist who colored my hair and always was very careful and used some special dye on me that didn't irritate me, but unfortunately she ended up moving and ever since then I wasn't able to find anyone as good as she was. This is a great topic that you've covered here, I myself was relieved when I did some research few years a go and found out that I'm not the only who doesn't get along with hair dyes ;) <br /><br />Paula<br /><a href="http://thirteenthoughts.com" rel="nofollow">Thirteen Thoughts</a><br />Paula thirteenthoughts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405219813159087636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075623790999713634.post-6394116480670116872015-04-09T11:13:39.264+01:002015-04-09T11:13:39.264+01:00Oh that is awful what you experienced!

I regularly dye my hair and I have to admit that I never did a patch test before, I know, a bit foolish, but thankfully nothing ever caused me allergic reaction. x<br /><br /><a href="http://mummysbeautycorner.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Mummy’s Beauty Corner </a>Mummy's Beauty Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298829983043955352noreply@blogger.com
