how can a person who is allergic to hair dye keep their hair from going grey?

Answer 1

there is loads that you can do so dont dispair, people who are allergic to hair dye are allergic to something in them called para dye, the darker the colour the more para dye they contain and also different compaines also use different amounts, the easy thing to do is to decide your colour you would like to go and apply a small amount behind your ear to see if any reaction happens if this does try the same colour but from another company, if you still get a reaction them try the same colour but in a semi colour (wash out in 12 shampoos but this will not give you 100% coverage) also you can try henna colours but once done NEVER put a normal colour on until it has grown out as they react badly again try a small drop behind your ear to see if any reaction occurs, leave for 24 - 48 hours to see if any reaction happens on any colour, if you still get a reacton then the swimpke answer is to have hi-lights, low-lights full head in foil as this does not touch the scalp so you will get no reaction and is totally safe, if you will be doing this at home depending on your grey hair if it is light grey - white never go above a 9 (this will be on the pack) which is a light blonde, go from a blonde below and also when they say warm this is gold, and cool is ash if again you have white go for the cool as the gold will be to orange for you, hope this helps and good luck, and yes keep colouring!!!!

Answer 2

This is precisely my case. I started going gray in my 20s. I dyed my hair for several years until I developed an allergy not only to dye, but ammonia as well. I cropped my hair as short as possible (1 cm) and let my hair grow back naturally grey.
I have experimented will all possible styles. Now I have a straight mid-length cut and my hair is silver and stunningly shining. My hairdressers keep being asked by other customers to have their hair dyed exactly the same colour as mine.
It can't be that bad, can it?

Answer 3

Use a natural product called "Henna" or "Mehendi". Asians use it all the time to colour their hair. It's the same product used to make henna designs of tattos on hands, arms, etc. It gives a reddish brownish tinge. It's the best option for you.
You can search online for it if you cant buy it in a nearby store. It comes in a powder form, you have to mix it with water and make it into a paste and apply it in your hair with a brush and then after it dries keep it for an hour or so and rinse off with water. Or follow the instructions that comes with the package.
Hope this helped!

If you want an all over colour darker that you natural colour then go for an semi permanent (has no peroxide )or if you want to go lighter go for hi-lights as the colour dose not touch the scalp so you will get a reaction also low- lights are an option for the same reason

Answer 5

No.But if allergy is due to any chemical contained in dye,you can try herbal hair dye,henna etc.But it may require frequent use.
Eg.Goderj indica Herbal or Rose Mary Black Henna,Kali Mehndi
