I know when hairdressers reopened after lockdown last year there were reports of a number of cases of people having reactions to dye and a possible link to them having had Covid.
I haven't had Covid (to the best of my knowledge) but recently had my booster jab (moderna). Two weeks post jab I wanted to dye my hair using the same boxed dye I've used for at least 5 years. I don't usually do a patch test (yes, I know the instructions tell us to do it every time) but on this occasion I did a test as someone had told me she'd had a reaction to perm lotion following her booster (although I think she had Pfizer) even though she'd been having her hair permed for years. Well it was fortunate that I did the test as the colourant blistered my skin and left a raw patch behind my ear.
So I was wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to dye after their jabs or if you had a reaction after Covid a while ago have you subsequently been able to dye with a different product or even done a much later patch test with your usual product which has been OK due to the lapse in time. Or am I now destined to embrace my grey hair??
