Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to hair highlights?

Answer by  Anonymous

Yes, it happened to me! Swollen face and eyes from the chemicals leaching out of my hair and not actually touching me directly! PPD is the culprit, a very strong chemical. It did not touch my skin directly and I was very ill.

It is possible to be allergic to the dyes used in hair highlights. It could appear in a lot of different ways, such as a rash, redness or irritation. Breathing difficulties are another possibility. You could have irritated eyes or lungs from these chemicals, if you are allergic, as well. Hives are another possibility.

Do your roots hurt? Are your rooting changing to an abnormal color? Is there itching or pain? You can be allergic to anything even if you were not adverse to it in the past.
