Since I was 15 I've coloured my hair.
About 8 years ago I had a reaction to a red dye.
Stopped dying my hair red.
No problems for years.
Then I had a reaction to a black/blue box dye.
So I stopped using permenant hair dyes.
No problem for a few years.
I've always had coloured hair. Always.
I have blue. Pink. Green. Prlurole. Orange.
It's what makes me feel like me. My colourful hair.
About a year ago I got some hives when I bleached my hair (the colours I use are vegan semi permanent dye conditioners. No PPD or chemicals)
Since then everytime I bleached my hair to colour it I got hivesthe last 2 times I've had a worse reaction.
I've just bleached it and my head went all tight. My heads all red at the hairline. My eyes got bloodshot. And it burned.
Thats it.
I can't dye my hair anymore.
At beginning of lockdown I shaved my head.
I didn't realise how much GREY I had. I lasted about a week with my nayltutral brown greying hair before I bleached it and went pastel lilac.
I feel shit with my natural hair. I just don't feel like me.
My bright hair has always been my way of expressing myself. I know with what's happening in the world right now this is extremely selfish.
But I'm just sad that I'll never have pretty, bright hair again :(
