Call our expert team today to find out how we can help you make a successful hair dye allergy compensation claim.
What Generally Causes an Allergic Reaction to Hair Dye?
Hair dye allergies are typically a result of the chemicals that are found within the majority of hair dyes. The industry standard is to ensure all products carry a disclaimer advising consumers to carry out a patch test on the skin prior to full application. However, it has been proven that this methodology is unscientific and does not provide any adequate data around allergies. This means it cannot accurately determine whether or not you will have an allergic reaction to the product.
Most hair allergies are the result of exposure to Paraphenylenediamine (PPD), Hydrogen Peroxide or ammonia. These are the most prominent ingredients in binding the dye to the hair. However, it is possible for someone to experience irritation from the actual dying elements. An allergic reaction may be immediate or occur as result of long term use. Realistically though the prolonged use of ammonia on the skin is never healthy and will often cause adverse and unhealthy results. If you feel you have suffered an allergic reaction to hair dye through no fault of your own we can help. To start your hair dye allergy compensation claim call our friendly team without delay.
