Color on the scalp
by: Michelle

It's difficult to apply haircolor without some of it touching the scalp. In general, there are no ill effects from this, although, you should inspect your scalp first for any open sores.

In the past, some haircolor formulations did contain small amounts of lead, which can enter the bloodstream through open wounds on the scalp. Many manufacturers have removed lead content from their products, but I'd still be hesitant to apply haircolor to an open sore.

All the best,
