Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello dear,


if u want to color ur hair u can go for it! just b careful u r choosing a right product for colouring. any branded hair color which does not contain ammonia is preferable. as ammonia can cause dryness of hair. if this is ur 1st time colouring ur hair then go for patch test first then only color ur hair. patch test shud b done as follows.....apply little amount of color over bak of the ear n let it b deer for 30 min n wash it. wait for 24hrs before applying color. after 24hrs if u don't get any itching/ rash over applied area then it is a negative test n u can go for hair colouring. if any reaction occurs, don't apply over ur hair as u may get reaction all over ur scalp.

I wud suggest u to go for loreal ammonia free hair colours. they r comparatively safe. try going to a loreal professional for colouring. after colouring, condition ur hair with leave on serums n after shampooing apply conditioners.

take care n congratulations on ur marriage!
