Hair dye and covid vaccination

Going against what others have said; I distinctly remember hearing something about this in the news about a year ago

I never really thought it was connected to the vaccination , just not sure why it has happened on this occasion or what I should do to get my scalp back to normal.

I do not agree vaccine is the reason for this

Composition of the dye, season of the year, other environmental factors, medications, ....

That sounds like contact dermatitis which can be triggered by a chemical called paraphenylenediamine (PPD) which is present in hair dye. The darker the colour the more PPD.

I have heard about this about this and it just rumours. There is no scientific evidence to back it up.

All the vaccine does is to “teach” the immune system to recognise SARS-COV2 so that it can mount a quick defence if it detects the virus. That’s the extent to which it changes the immune system no different to it having “learned” over time to recognise and fight common infections.

PPD is known to cross-react with a variety of medications, including thiazide diuretics used to treat high blood pressure and sulfonamides used to treat a variety of infections so it would be good idea to consider if you are on any meds that may have caused a cross-reaction.

Shelflife yes give it a rest first then you could try home colouring, some are mild, no ammonia, some have natural ingredients, etc, and yes at a fraction if salon prices!

Blue Sky , I have thought of doing it myself but so far not had the courage. My hair is fairly short and fine. Doing it myself would save me cash !!!

I no longer have my hair coloured professionally as oddly enough I react to it, but not to home colouring. This was pre Covid as well, not sure why.
