I have brown hair. The first time I dyed my hair I was getting highlights and my stylist put me under the lamp with my foils and the foils got extremely hot. I can't remember the second time I died my hair. But last august I got my hair dyed and I had asked to go a very dark brown-black. As she was putting the color on, my head was getting very hot. So after she washes my hair she started worrying that my hair pulled the wrong color. She dried it and my hair had gone lighter. Even though she used a very dark color. So later on I found out that my grandma had dyed her hair for years and one time she had her hair dyed and a huge allergic reaction to the dye. She couldnt dye her anymore after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-46824272757628306012015-03-19T19:10:46.117-07:002015-03-19T19:10:46.117-07:00Yes, I am sorry for the bad news, we have traced p...Yes, I am sorry for the bad news, we have traced people who have out-grown this phenomenon, periodically check..........have them do a Strand test with foils JUST 1 !!! and ask them to stick right by your side, while it goes on.....if you are older maybe it won't do it anymore, but by strand testing it, you avoid the big scene it might cause and the pain it could cause all at the same time !<br />Sorry for the bad news, KCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-73544248594602010912015-03-09T11:31:30.807-07:002015-03-09T11:31:30.807-07:00This happened to me!
My hair dye history: In coll...This happened to me!<br /><br />My hair dye history: In college I tried a semi-permanent box dye; my friend put it on me. Within a few minutes, my scalp was burning and itching like crazy. She rinsed it quickly and it still burned. I had a terrible rash around and on my scalp for two weeks. <br /><br />Then last fall, I had my hair cut really short (into a faux-hawk) and wanted the top of it dyed red. I went to a salon where she did a spot test with the red color I wanted; one of them burned and one of them didn't. Great. We picked the not-burning one of course. She didn't spot-test the bleach though. <br /><br />She used foils to bleach my hair so the bleach wouldn't touch my scalp since I'd told her I had a sensitive head. My husband was there and asked after about three minutes (she was barely done foiling) if it was normal for steam to be coming out of them. I have a high pain tolerance and didn't notice anything, and then all of a sudden it felt like the back section of my head was burning. She removed the foils and rinsed immediately. My hair was bleach blonde (not even three minutes) and I had a small chemical burn that oozed (lovely) for a few days on my scalp.<br /> <br />She dyed my hair black a few months later and I had no issues with that dye.<br /><br />I had no idea a reaction like that was so rare; my hairstylist said the foils must have heated it up more quickly? But now I'm reading this post and realizing it must just be my hair. Bummer! I was hoping to try bleaching again without foils so I could dye my hair pink. But I guess I should just stay away from all bleaching?chesapeakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641371045919531080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-2501435052894043602015-01-07T08:27:58.652-08:002015-01-07T08:27:58.652-08:00Well, you have run into the problem that is a very...Well, you have run into the problem that is a very rare occurrence - but it DOES happen as I'm sure many of you very busy Colorists have experienced. The figure is something like 1 in a million people are allergic to the combination of ammonia & H2O2 or its the PPD & H2O2 combination. It happened to me twice in 15,000 Heads of hair I colored. <br /><br />You need to NEVER EVER do that process on her again. She is most likely to have lots of breakage, my suggestion is to give her a complementary deep conditioner, because when you do that to one client the word will spread like wildfire and you should be proactive about trying to help her recover from it. If you don't have a super effective conditioner, have her purchase THRIVEN on our website OR....you purchase it it apply it for an hour minimum and then she needs lipids ( oils with ZERO silicone's in them).<br /><br />If you ever feel a foil get warm quickly that is the problem and take them off immediately.<br /><br />A couple things you can try:<br />-use bleach with NO ammonia ( there are many now)<br />- use hair color that is as close to organic as possible and without PPD & ammonia in it ( Wella's INNOSENSE)<br />If it was me I would tell her I only recommend going darker using Demi-Permanent Color which has none of that..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-45236041265203437052014-12-30T15:55:56.860-08:002014-12-30T15:55:56.860-08:00So this just happened to me tonight!

I just did her hair 3 weeks ago with no reaction... tonight her head was on fire and she said it was burning! Before I finished the application her hair was already lifted to the desired stage. I only got the front and one side of the back done before having to rinse it. I am praying that her hair doesn't fall out. It was clearly a chemical reaction but why now? After all these years! And where do I go from here? Her hair is platinum blonde! Always has been.

Its the only way to protect the scalp.<br />Lastly you are using Sulfate shampoo - which is a HUGE MISTAKE!!! The 'Clear line' is a grocery store brand, you cannot expect good results from a cheap-o shampoo, that product sits on your scalp in between shampoos ( you never get it all rinsed out)....so the sulfates aggravate scalps really bad I have found.<br />try our INTENSIVE everyone loves how it calms the scalp and hair....<br /><br />I highly reccomend our Oil bleach and its marked down tremendously<br /><br />GL<br /><br />KCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-58669468313122952862014-03-17T23:06:08.737-07:002014-03-17T23:06:08.737-07:00You will not be able to go lighter at this time, I...You will not be able to go lighter at this time, I have seen people grow out of it, but not until they much older.

I have naturally black, thick hair and I wanted to lighten it up a bit. So I originally tinted it at a salon to dark brown, but then wanted to go drastic to light brown.<br /><br />My hairdresser left the first bleach application on for an hour and 10 minutes, lifting the brown to honeycomb. Then after another 45 minute application, it only went to a lemon yellow. She then toned it to a dark yellow and that was my 'ash blonde'. <br /><br />When it was processed, my scalp was inflamed and after a day I began to brush out scabs and flakes - EWW! <br /><br />When I got my regrowth and colour redone, it was so much worse that I was nearly crying and had a 'mild anaphalatic shock'!<br /><br />But I really really want to lighten my hair again from black!

I used color stripper to lighten the long pieces at the front , then used Manic Panic in whatever color she was wanting at the time.<BR/> then she decided she wanted Gwen Stefani platinum.<BR/> So I bought bleach and 40 vol developer.Her hair turned out carroty colored.<BR/> So since we were leaving for vacation the next evening, I took her to the salon for a "fix".<BR/> She had formerly NEVER had a reaction.<BR/> When my hair dresser put the bleach on her head, she first complained of "Stinging". then about 5 minutes later she said she was very cold all over.(It was pretty hot in the salon). She started shaking uncontrollably, and said her scalp was so cold she couldn't stand it,, and burst into tears.<BR/> The hair dresser washed it off very quickly and called her color salesperson . she recommended using a low peroxide (or was it no peroxide?) color,foiling pieces of it for lighter streaks, which was only able to lift Casey's hair to a medium yellowish blonde, but hey, it was better than carrot colored. She coated the scalp with something first, too.<BR/> Now, my dilemma:Casey has prom next week, and wants paler blonde hair.<BR/> Should we be scared? Or was it a freak reaction because I had been fooling with her color the night before? <BR/> Thanks, <BR/>Lisa bamabellesiamese@charter.netbamabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275295460482991238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-82902989828063044562009-03-04T14:09:00.000-08:002009-03-04T14:09:00.000-08:00Thank you KC :)I know it a really weird situation!...Thank you KC :)<BR/><BR/>I know it a really weird situation!!

ABBA makes a few different lines/formulas (Pure Color Protect, Pure Shine, Pure Volume, etc) and I was wondering if they all have the same/correct pH. I have read some of your other posts and comments where you said improper pH may be responsible for your hair being tangled after shampooing & conditiong. I am using the ABBA Pure Color Protect shampoo and conditioner, and my hair (pretty fine, oily scalp, dry ends - what a great combo!) comes out super-tangled. <BR/>As for the protein comment... I have no idea where I heard that from. I just know that somewhere along the line I was told that too many hair products with protein (or using them every day) can actually damage the hair and make it weaker.
