Can You Dye Your Hair After Lice Treatment?
When you’re faced with a head lice infestation, it tends to disrupt any and all plans you had. Furthermore, after all the irritation caused by the infestation, it is common to have the desire to pamper your scalp and feel fresh by dying your hair. In addition, many people assume that hair dye could provide further protection from lice. The reality is that depending on your lice treatment, dying your hair could be dangerous and result in many negative repercussions.
What Not To Do
A common response to a lice infestation is to run to the nearest store and purchase an over-the-counter lice treatment. However, it is crucial to be aware of the harsh and toxic chemicals that these OTC treatments contain- especially when dying your hair. If you are using over-the-counter lice treatment shampoo, you definitely should not dye your hair after treatment. By mixing the chemicals in both hair dye and OTC treatments, the combination can result in burns to the scalp and severe hair damage. Beyond this, OTC treatments are not guaranteed to eliminate your lice 100%. So, when you go into a hair salon after choosing an OTC treatment, you risk spreading the lice to those you are in contact with.
