Feria Extreme Platinum hair dye glutening

[Deana-D]

I just found out a month ago that I have Celiac disease. I happen to be an incredibly sensitive case. I have removed absolutely everything gluten inside my house including all of my cookware and replaced it all.

I did that as well with everything in my bathroom cupboards. The only thing I didn't think about was my hair dye. I did a quick Google search about Feria extreme platinum hair dye and they say that it is gluten-free on a research that I have looked at.

I can promise you it is not gluten-free. I have a head full of dermatitis herpetiformis, my hands are also breaking out where the dye has touched my skin. I got insanely dizzy within 10 minutes of applying it. And my scalp feels like it's on fire.

My ears are so red and hurt so much. I quickly washed my hair with gluten-free shampoo and then put gluten-free conditioner in. Luckily the pain is starting to subside. I also had a hard time breathing for a while.I can assure you there must be gluten in this product. I encourage everyone to stay away from it if you are sensitive.

Are there any products that others have tried that work without giving them a reaction? I would really like to know from people who happen to be super sensitive as well. Thank you so much for any information you can provide.

Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you got DH from your hair dye.

I am also very sensitive. I color my hair at home using henna from Mehandi.com. I personally use the henna for gray hair medium brown kit as it covers gray hair best. Mix the henna with separate acidic powder at night. The next day wash your hair with shampoo only. Then prepare the indigo paste. Mix both henna and indigo together and apply. Leave it in for four hours. Wash out with conditioner only. I wait two full days before using a normal shampoo with conditioner so the henna/indigo really takes. My scalp gets a little itchy from the residue for those two days, and then it dissipates. No allergic/celiac reaction at all.

I forgot to mention that when you mix the henna with the acid powder use filtered water, and the next day when you prepare the indigo powder, add a teaspoon of salt with more filtered water. The salt makes the indigo work better. Then combine both batches.
