Texas Barber License Practice Examination

A common reaction to hair dye that barbers should monitor is itching and redness. These symptoms often indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the ingredients in the hair dye. Itching may suggest that the scalp or skin is reacting negatively to the chemical components, while redness can point to inflammation or irritation. It's crucial for barbers to be vigilant about these reactions because they can lead to more severe conditions if not addressed promptly.

In contrast, dryness and flaking, though they may occur occasionally after dyeing, are generally not immediate reactions that require urgent attention. Dullness and frizz are more indicative of hair condition rather than a direct reaction to the dye itself. Thinning and balding might arise from improper application or over-processing but are not common immediate reactions to hair dye that would be noted at the time of service. Therefore, monitoring for itching and redness is essential for ensuring client safety and comfort during hair color treatments.
