its probly got nothing to do with the hair dye,
cus my sisters got a recaction to hair dye,
and all she gets is a icty and flakey scalp,
its most probly something else.
You may suffer all of the following but it is most common to just notice one or two of the symptoms. Like other forms of contact dermatitis repeated exposure may cause the allergy to develop therefore alternatives to permanent hair dye should be researched as soon as an allergy is confirmed.
Itching scalp/skin
Redness
Swelling
Mild dandruff like symptoms
Scaly skin
Pain
Sneezing or other hay fever/cold like symptoms when ever hair dye applied
Nausea when dye applied
Sever swelling around eyes
Scaly skin on ears, face and neck
There have been two deaths attributed to anaphylaxis due to hair dye. This sever allergic reaction is incredibly rare but stands to show how serious and allergic reaction can be. Even if you have been using a product for years a patch test should always be applied and the developer (oxidizing agent) should always be mixed with the dye or tint for this type of test.

Some times dye will give you a rash almost like sunburn the skin will flake and scab it will be extreamly sore for a few days.
