An allergic reaction to hair dye is a common but very unpleasant issue.

If you experienced itching, burning, or redness of the scalp after coloring, immediately rinse your hair with warm water and a gentle sulfate-free shampoo. Apply a soothing mask (for example, one with chamomile, aloe, or panthenol).

The next step is to take an antihistamine (consult your doctor first) to help reduce the reaction. Avoid scratching the scalp or using any other cosmetic products until the symptoms have completely disappeared.

In the future, always perform an allergy test 48 hours before using any hair dye, including Garnier: apply a small amount of the product behind your ear and monitor the skin's reaction.

If the reaction is severe, with swelling or blisters, seek immediate medical attention from a dermatologist.
