If there's pain, then chemicals are probably not the best idea. But ultimately its up to you if you want to try. I have started to show signs of being sensitive to harsh chemicals. So I may be a bit more cautious. Maybe do a bit on the underside of your hair towards the scalp just to see.

I still dye my hair also, too much grey! lol.

I still dye my hair at home every 2 months after i get it cut. My hair is very short but thick

I deal with scalp and facial pain along with very irritated scalp. I color my hair still. I use a wash out type of hair color. One that
At about 30 days. I use a shampoo with the least amount of chemicals and try to be careful with all hair products. I have also used ACV in the shower to calm my scalp. It's so weird there's no dandruff or rough skin, scalp looks fine. I am also losing my hair.😫

I don’t. I switched to foils. Don’t have to do them but 2 or 3 times a year so I only go to the salon 3 or 4 times a year.
