Allergic to eyebrow dye/dark hair dye

[Miss Jo]

Hello

For years I have dyed my hair dark brown and dyed my eyebrows black as mine have always been very blonde and hard to see.

This has never been a problem until recently. The last time I had brown dye to the underneath of my hair, my scalp swelled up the next day and was burning and itching for days. I was in so much pain, I went to the doctors and she said I had become allergic to the dye.

Now, when I dye my eyebrows, my eyes and the whole area around them swell up like a blow fish, and are severly red and itchy

I just wondered whether anyone else has encountered an allergy to something overnight, even after using them for years beforehand with no problems.

This is a nightmare for me now because I hate having to shade in my brows

....can anyone suggest an alternative, such as herbal brow dyes? I can't seem to find any.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't have any advice, but I do know that it is common to develop allergies to hairdyes. Maybe try another brand, but be sure to do the allergy test.
