What Causes Depression, Headache And Fatigue?

Is it possible to have a gradual but substantial reaction to hair dye? I was new to this and live a fairly organic and healthy, sustainable life on average. The (purple) dye did not take; so it was attempted again 2 weeks later, then 3 times in one sitting another 2 weeks later (recommended by technician) then died brown after the 3rd fail, another 2 weeks later. Symptoms seemed to get worse each visit but not noticeably until quite bad after all appointments were done. Symptoms include several muscle soreness and weakness, 2 different rashes, headaches, lethargy, loss of appetite, depression, brain fog, general lack of energy...

Hi,

Permanent hair dyes have peroxides. Other hair dyes have ammonia, aromatic amines that are cancerous. The side effects of certain dyes to which you are allergic can cause conjunctivitis, asthma, rashes, headaches, anxiety, skin irritation, hair breakage, affect fertility, etc.

Do not use permanent dyes, use ammonia free and chemical free hair dyes. Use herbal hair dyes like henna, lemon, honey, coffee, beet and carrot juice. Take Acetaminophen (Toluene) and multivitamin supplements to get rid of a headache and fatigue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
