How To….Do A Sensitivity Test
Although rare some people can have allergic reactions to products – even something they have used before.
It is always advisable to do a skin sensitivity test before using any cosmetic product to check against adverse reactions.
Please always follow skin test instructions on any product you buy.
A rough guide to doing a semi-permanent hair dye (such as Special Effects) sensitivity test would be:
|
|
Clean a small area (inside the arm tends to be the most common area used) then apply a small amount of the Special Effects or Manic Panic Dye to the area. |
||
|
|
Cover with a sticking plaster and leave for approx 48 hours. |
||
|
|
Although an allergic reaction is very rare if you experience severe pain, nausea, headaches etc rinse off dye immediately and consult a Doctor |
||
|
|
If there is no reaction after this time it should be fine to use this product, but bear in mind reactions could still happen although this is rare. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
NOTE – Adverse reactions include redness, raised skin, itching, blisters etc, and in more severe cases nausea, headache etc – if any unusual symptoms occur discontinue use of the product and consult a Doctor. |
