Hello! I've been box dying my hair for years. I almost always use the same brand. This time, when I dyed my hair, i got a horrible reaction on my ears. They're swollen, red and very itchy, and have been this way for several days now. Why did I have a reaction to the dye this time, but not in the past? Was it because I used a different, darker color than I normally would use? What can I do to soothe the irritation? Thanks!

Hi Kaitlyn,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

As weird as it is, developing a sudden allergy is fairly common. If your symptoms haven't subsided, perhaps you should visit an urgent care facility.  Make sure to  bring information on the product with you.

Be well,
