If you don't tend to have allergic reactions to things like cleansers, makeup, etc, you'll probably be fine. I never do those tests - I doubt many people do. Have fun!

i have dyed my hair a few times and never have i done the hair tester for more than a few hours...... do you have a lot of allergies? if you dont i dont think you should worry - i wouldnt anyways

think they mean to leave 2 days between doing tester and dying you hair to see if you have reaction, not leave it in for 2 days.

Answer If you've had your hair coloured before I don't see a need once you follow instrctions.

If it is your first colour it's a bit more risky, but I'd do it once you've not be allergic to other products like skin care products.

Look at it this way if you went into the hairdresser they wouldn't do a tester, because you might not come back!!

The people who make product are just covering their back, like when garments say hand wash only when you know you could throw in machine.

yes you should always do a tester first, you can have a reaction at anytime, not just the first time.

they only ask you to do this so that they can be covered legally

I'm a hairdresser and I think you should do a test cause if this is your first time doing your hair then yes, what color are you doing?

If your going blond then A BIG NO NO for home dyes, you WILL go orange if your hair is brown.

If your a dark blond then OK do a test and see how it goes but like I said dark hair will go orange cause home products don't have enough stuff to really lift the hair.

Go to a salon if you want to go blond.

If you are going to go darker then remember with going dark, the colors work really fast and if you leave it on too long you could go black so keep an eye on your color when you do a test so you know the time its been on.

Hope this helps?

if uve used loreal hair dyes in the past, no u dont have to do the test, but it is in the best interest to do the test as cant make some people really ill. to be honest with u i never do the test now as ive dyed my hair afew times and has been ok everytime, but i did do the test the first time i dyed my hair! hope that helps and good luck with it.

i think that you should wait a little while longer to make really sure that you are not allergic to it. cause the symtoms might not show up right away so there fore you would not know if you were allergic to it or not. another solution that i can give you is that you could make a doctors appoientment amd when you get there you can ask your doctor if you are allergic tom it he/she will be able to look at your record book and be able to tell you if you are allergic to it or not and if they say that you are allergic to it then you re going to be in big trouble if you do put it on and you will be in a lot of pain.

OK - simple. If you have NEVER dyed your hair before, buy two boxes (yes, spend the extra money). One will be for the hair dye test (you have to throw away what you don't use afterwards). Keep the other box and after a day see how it looks. Most people do not have a reaction, but I tell you, if you pick a color that doesn't look good or reacts weird to your hair, you will be much sorrier than the person who get the allergy. After this first time, you will be good to go. Promise.

You shouldn't leave it on for two days?you should always do a strand test before colouring your hair
