I get retouched up every 4 weeks and on one of those weeks I get highlights put in. The product my beautician uses doesn't cause any problems. I am not her only customer that has Lupus.
I have my grey hair touched up every 3 weeks by a professional. When I first started with this specific beautician, he was putting harsh chemicals on my scalp, and it burned. So he added sugar which helped. Now he is using a gentler hair dye that doesn't burn my scalp. He also likes to blow dry my hair, but I had to stop that too and just be put under the dryer because of my low hair volume. Pulling and brushing only adds to loss of my hair. Plus, when I started losing my long hair, I decided to have it cut short. I now have it in a DA cut which I like with bangs. Much easier to handle too!
I now use a conditioning glaze that deposits color that lasts through 10 shampoos. I have no adverse symptoms with this product.
I do dye my hair every 10 weeks. I don’t have too much trouble with it. Every now and then it will make my scalp itch. You can ask your stylist to use a more natural organic coloring as well.
