Delaware Cosmetology and Barbering Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is a common symptom of an allergic reaction to hair color?

Dry scalp

Itching or rash on the skin

Itching or rash on the skin is a common symptom of an allergic reaction to hair color. When individuals are sensitive to certain chemicals present in hair dyes, such as paraphenylenediamine (PPD), their immune system may react by causing inflammation in the skin, leading to itching and rashes. This skin reaction can occur in areas where the product is applied or sometimes on other areas of the body.

In contrast, while a dry scalp may occur for various reasons, it is not typically linked specifically to an allergic reaction to hair color. Severe headaches are more commonly associated with other triggers and are not a typical symptom of a hair dye allergy. Hair loss can occur for various reasons, but it is not a direct symptom of an allergic reaction. Understanding these symptoms can help identify potential allergic reactions early and prevent further irritation or damage.
