Hair dye?

Hi That's an interesting project to do. I hope you get some more responses soon. My answers are: 1. Yes - I've been dying my hair regularly for many years now (over 10 years I think) - semi permanent colour 2. I had psoriasis before I had my hair dyed but not on my scalp. The scalp psoriasis only really started a couple of years ago and because it started off as a small patch I just carried on having my hair coloured every 6 weeks or so as normal. 3. I always had it done by a hairdresser 4. I didn't have a patch test done ( but didn't have the scalp psoriasis when I first had it done ) 5. When my scalp psoriasis flared up I did wonder at first whether the chemicals would aggravate it but actually I have always found my scalp has been better for the couple of weeks after getting my hair done so for me I think the chemicals help calm it down. I wouldn't consider changing brands or using Henna now. Hope that helps and good luck with your project

Hi, here is mine- 1. Yes, 2. No flare ups before as I've only had it for 2yrs and it hasn't stopped me. 3. Mostly I use boxed dyes (semi-permanent) Used a salon sometimes. 4. No patch test at the salon (no psoriasis then) or at home. 5. I have never used henna, I have a preferred brand/colour and I stick to that. When it first flared I stopped for a while but it didn't make a difference so I now carry on. My hair and scalp feel better after it's done. maybe as a change from regular Tgel./Capasal shampoo.? Good luck with your GCSE assessment.
