Obviously, I’m gonna do that 48 hour trial thingy on my wrist. But I dyed my eyelashes before and no allergic reaction there.

What is it that you could be allergic to? I’m using semi-permanent L’Oreal and there’s no ammonia – if that makes any difference.

I don`t think you will have a reaction. Just don`t get it in your mouth.
using them in your eyelashes and eyebrows can lead to blindness if it gets in your eyes- even the types without ammonia! i wouldn’t do that, if i were you!
You could be allergic to any of the Chemicals in it…But that’s the what patch test is for. To see if your allergic.
I’ve dyed my hair at home probably about 100 times or more and I’ve never had a reaction. The worst I’ve had is it’s been a bit itchy on my scalp while the dye’s on my hair. But this obviously doesn’t mean it won’t happen to you.
I’ve also never done the patch test thingy which probably does make me stupid lol cause i guess i could one day have a reaction that could have been avoided so even tho I don’t do it I would definately make sure you do the test.
I’m guessing you wanna use the box u already bought now but if not you could always try henna dyes and stuff. I’ve not heard of people having reactions to henna dyes but if you look hard enough you’ll probably find someone who has lol.
According to Wikipedia its something called P-Phenylenediamine that people can have a reaction to and this can be found in both permanent or semi-permanent hair dyes.
If u want to know any more it tells you pretty much everything on here:
Oh and if u do fancy using henna they sell it in Lush
Hope this helps!
Very slim, but it does happen. You shouldn’t dye your eyelashes with hair dye though. Its very dangerous and says it could blind you on the box.
