Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I dyed my hair 17 days ago and started experiencing headaches 2 days later. I've been having headaches for 15 days in a row and have no idea what to do. It is the first time I dyed my hair one solid color (I've gotten highlights in the past though and tried to dye my hair at home, although I never experienced headaches afterwards). The headaches were worse in the beginning, they were so powerful I got migraines and began to throw up, but they decreased in pain since the dye is fading. The problem is that I know the headace is there and even if I don't have a headache I fear that I will eventually get another one. But I've been washing my hair constantly to try and get the dye to fade quicker (using lots of shampoo and warm water). Thank you.
HI Well come to HCM hair color contained PPD (Para Phenylenediamine) which cause hypersensitivity to most of the persons and this may last long, now to avoid this next time do not use this, for the headache this can be manged with "Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg and Acetaminophen 500 mg once in day, this would be fine, take care and have a nice day.
