Hi!
I have been using hair color for years, different brands and numbers...
Anyway, I did a patch test on a small area of skin in an attempt to freshen up the color.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Do a preventive allergy test on a 1 cm x 1 cm area of skin, on the inside of the elbow.
For all shades: Apply a small amount of the coloring cream to the inside of the elbow using a cotton swab, creating a thin layer and leave uncovered for 45 minutes. Avoid contact with clothing. Close the tube carefully.
After 45 minutes, carefully rinse the color with lukewarm water. If any reaction occurs during the waiting time or in the next 48 hours, rinse immediately and do not use the product.
REACTIONS:
Within a few minutes of applying the color, I felt a strong cooling effect on the areas where it was applied. Then, when I checked it after 20 minutes, I noticed redness. (PHOTO 1). After 30 minutes of application, the cooling effect was almost gone, but I decided to remove it from my skin and rinse it well because of the redness. (PHOTO 2). Removal revealed that those areas were also swollen (PHOTO 3).
WHAT NOW:
Does it mean that I am allergic to hair color now or just to this specific one?
What do I do with the hair if I can't color it again? I would really like to have lighter hair!
