you can use henna and you probably won't be allergic to it.

i have a lot of skin allergies (not to hair dye but i was tested for it). i usually get irritation, blisters sometimes, stuff like that. ask for a patch test from your doctor and then you'll know for sure and what reaction you get. they can also give you lotions and ointments to help the allergic reaction go away. it's so much better for me now that i know what the problem is, really go get a test.

I would say stay away from the cheap brands or you may be allergic to all of the brands.

Some of the Hair dye makes my scalp burn a little. Always do a patch test 1st. You can develope allergies at any time.

Henna should be fine. Just be prepared. It should be the consistancy of mud before you apply it, and it will fall off of your hair some.It takes a little practice to keep it the right consistancy and not have it fall off. Good luck.
