Patch test reaction - 4 days later?

Last Wednesday I went to a salon for a colour consultation and patch test as I'm a first time client there. This salon uses natural, vegan, non PPD colour which is now very important to me as I had a nasty reaction after my last L'oreal colour a few months ago at my previous salon, e.g. tight scalp, blocked ear, tinnitus and scabby scalp a week later.

Patch test applied behind ear, no reaction after 48 hours so assumed all ok. But yesterday (Sunday) I noticed my eyelids were quite itchy and a small area on my neck was itchy too.

This morning one eyelid is still a little itchy and a small area on my upper arm is too.

Could this be a delayed reaction?

I cannot dye my hair anymore I had a reaction that was not as severe as yours. I looked around for a natural product but nothing seems really safe. What was the name of the product they tested on you?

AdverseCamber22 the new salon tested me on Kevin Murphy colour. Disappointed that it seems I too can no longer colour my hair even with PPD free products. It's just not worth the risk. Will have to look into natural alternatives, apparently coffee or cocoa work well!!
