nusanan says: Like most things there are people who have allergic reactions to some things but all in all hair colouring is safe I am 71 and have been colouring my hair from the age of 14 if you are sensitive to some things do a skin test if at home and if getting it done at the hairdresser go in 24 hours before and ask them to do a skin test,if you are worried about long term effects dont be,hope this helps Jan

Tash says: My hair is naturally light brown, but about once every month I dye my hair natural/dark natural brown. I have never had any problems with my scalp or dry hair. My older sister however uses anti dandruff and/or sensitive skin shampoo and that seems to help :)

Claire says: For me, it's depends on the brands name and quality of the hair colour products. my hair was not easily to dye so i'm so cautious in choosing the hair colour products because i might be used to dye several times in half a year.

Babs says: I believe most hair products are safe. I've been colouring my own hair for roughly 13 years now and never had a problem. I do get an itchy scalp when using bleach but I guess that's expected when using such a harsh chemical on your skin. Everyones skin sensitivity differs. My advice would be to test the colour on a small patch of skin before applying a full head. If you know you have very sensitive skin then avoid colouring your hair at the roots and maybe highlights only :-)

stephano says: Babs you are correct most colours are very safe there were a few in the professional line of hair care where there were rumours of carcinogens... Loreal for one. However that was mainly for hairdressers as they had there hands in the product all day. Not so for the client usually only every 6 months.. If you do have a reaction take and antihistamine immedietley and you should get a result straight away if not take two.. If allergy persists go to doctor.. I buy the way am a professoinal hairdresser. Good Luck,,

saggi80 says: I am using hair colour from last 4-5 years and i don't have any problem in my scalp or hairs due to hair colour,even we don't have any problems still we can't say that all hair colours are safe to use after all they are chemicals so they may damage our hair or scalp to some extent whether that damage is noticeable or not.

harty888 says: Safe in what way? Safe for your hair? If you are colouring your hair darker it's generally less likley to cause breakage. trying to lighten your hair is when it becomes damaging.

Jill says: Hair colors are not safe or healthy.....having said that I use them......it's silly because I know the chemicals in them cause cancer.........but still I don't like to be grey........I know there are natural ones but they don't work the same. Vainness and common sense don't go together at all.

KiraMcdonald says: depending on what you are allergic to. there is a test you can do to see if you are allergic to anything. just rub some behind your ear and leave it for about 30 minutes. if nothing happens it should be fine, you only leave the hair dye in your hair for about 15 - 20 minutes anyway. most hair colour products these days don't react to many because they have taken the ammonia out of them. but if you are unsure do the test to find out.
