Hairdye can't be applyed 1/2 inch from scalp?

Question

yeah, i was readying the hairdyes at sally's(the bright ones, like cottoncandy pink, ect) and all of em said not to apply at ur scalp

why? i've seen people with bright hair that it's all over.

is it a staining issue, reaction, or can the dye harm your skin?

Answer 1

its probably a liability issue, so if you do dye it next to your scalp and you burn it, or if your scalp is broken and you get hurt you cant sue them.

i bleach my hair close to the scalp, sometimes it gets on the scalp but it doesnt hurt or anything.  with pink hair dye the issue is probably staining your head pink, but it goes away fairly quickly

Answer 2

It can harm you skin and dye it. Just get a friend to help you get the dye as close to the scalp as possible without touching. That's what my mum has to do with all hair dye because of some weird medical condition.

Answer 3

if they dye has bleach in it and it gets on your scalp it feels terrible, but mostly it is so you dont color your whole face/scalp/skin everywhere pink

Answer 4

You can put it on your scalp-it won't hurt it, but your scalp and any skin it touches will be stained that color for a couple days.  

Answer 5

it may irritate your scalp but honestle the odds are slim and it may stain but when you wash your hair it comes right out.

i do it all the time and im just fine

1. i work at sally beauty supply

2. i have bright purple hair
