What should I do if my scalp is broken after dyeing my hair

Many people have the habit of dyeing their hair, but some people's scalp suddenly breaks when dyeing their hair. The possibility of scalp breaking when dyeing hair is that the hair dye comes into contact with the scalp and causes an allergic reaction. In this case, it is generally necessary to disinfect with iodine first, and then pay attention to local infection, avoid scratching, the local area needs to be kept clean, and do not eat spicy and irritating foods.

1. What to do if hair dye stains the scalp

1. Cigarette ash. Wet a towel, wring it out, dip it in cigarette ash, and then gently wipe your scalp. Repeat several times and it will be ok.

2. Wash your hair. If your scalp is dyed, you can rinse it several times, pour shampoo on your hands and add water to make foam, then apply it evenly on your scalp.

3. Vaseline ointment. Hair dye is difficult to wipe off once it gets on your scalp. You can apply Vaseline before dyeing your hair so that even if it gets on your scalp, it can be wiped off quickly.

2. Will hair dyeing cause scalp allergies?

The most worrying thing about dyeing hair is that it may dye the scalp. After all, hair dye contains a lot of chemical substances, including diamine, which can cause certain damage to the scalp. So is it serious to dye your hair to your scalp? Will it cause allergies?

Dyeing your hair may cause allergic reactions on your scalp. However, before dyeing your hair, you will usually do an allergy test to ensure that your skin is not allergic to the hair dye before dyeing your hair. When hair dye reaches the scalp, you should clean the scalp immediately. It is best to prepare some anti-allergic drugs, such as loratadine and astemizole.

If your scalp is allergic to hair dye, you will generally experience symptoms such as itchy scalp, rash, and red and swollen skin. If these problems occur, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately to avoid the situation from becoming serious. In addition, if hair dye gets on your scalp, a better way is to wipe your scalp with cigarette ash.

When the hair dye reaches your scalp, it is best to choose some soothing shampoos, or DIY some natural shampoo products, such as washing your hair with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, but you have to wait until your scalp has almost recovered before using it to avoid irritating your scalp.

3. How to ensure hair dyeing safety

1. Skin test

The allergic reaction caused by hair dyeing is related to the consumer's body sensitivity, so a skin test should be carried out before dyeing hair. This is an important indicator to assess whether a hair salon is professional and responsible, but this step has often been ignored by hair salons and consumers.

If you are dyeing your hair for the first time, you should do a skin test 48 hours before dyeing your hair, that is, apply the hair dye behind the ear. If it is not the first time to dye your hair, the hairstylist should also ask the consumer whether he or she has any recent allergies. At the same time, the hairstylist should check whether the consumer's scalp is damaged. If so, the consumer should be advised to dye his hair another day. Pregnant women should not dye their hair.

2. Wash your hair

If the shampooer takes a long time to wash your hair and scratches your scalp vigorously after you ask to dye your hair, it is recommended that you leave this hair salon as soon as possible. It is not suitable to wash your hair before dyeing it. If your hair needs to be trimmed, you should be careful not to scratch your scalp when washing your hair to avoid scalp damage. Also, do not wash your hair for a long time. Try to retain the scalp's own secretions to protect the scalp from damage. If you dye your hair at home, do not wash your hair before dyeing. After dyeing your hair, rinse it several times to clean it thoroughly.

3. Hair dyeing techniques

When dyeing your hair, try to avoid contact between the dye and your scalp and facial skin. Hair salons with good services have special earmuffs to protect the ears from being contaminated by hair dye. If hair dye accidentally gets on the skin, it should be wiped clean immediately with Vaseline or facial cream. If your hairstylist applies hair dye to your scalp and claims that this will enhance the coloring effect, it is also recommended that you run away quickly.

4. Brand Image

When choosing hair dye products, you should choose a brand with a good reputation and try to choose a brand with a long history. You should also choose a hair salon that is relatively large in scale. A high price does not necessarily mean a good product, but if the price is too low, the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed. If your hairstylist recommends an unfamiliar hair dye product, or emphasizes that the ingredients are all-natural, herbal, etc., you should ask to see the instructions on the product packaging.

5. Time between hair dyeing

The interval between hair dyeing is actually very personal and there is no strict standard. For example: the color of the hair roots and the hair shaft are very different. If you don’t mind, you can wait for a longer period of time before re-dyeing your hair. But if you are particularly fond of beauty and care about your image, you may want to re-dye your hair soon. It all depends on your personal feelings. We can only recommend reducing the frequency of hair dyeing within an acceptable level.
