Colored my BLACK hair (AND SCALP!!!) w/ REVLON Color Silk (Medium Brown)?

Question

I used 2 boxes for my thick, shoulder length hair, completely saturating it, including scalp! I then piled the hair on top of my head for the recommended time. My SCALP burned like crazy, but I kept on until I rinsed it all out w/ hot water, 27 minutes later. Not happy w/ seeing some breakage. I learned my lesson: don't color scalp! And don't rinse w/ hot water!! Now rinsed and conditioned, my scalp is ok, but any long term damage I should know about ??? (I relaxed my hair 2 months ago, and colored w/ REVLON Color Silk (Dark Brown) a month ago. . . Thank you.

Sweetie, if the color is ever burning on your scalp wash it off immediately. That is a definite sign you shouldn't be using that product. That most likely accounted for the breakage you received.

There is no long term damage you should worry about. Even if you melted your hair off it would grow back after a while. Definitely rinse your hair in tepid water, not hot. And I would really recommend you use a semi-permanent color to color your hair black. Or even a cellophane color, which is a specific type of semi-permanent color. They use little to no hydrogen-peroxide, so there won't be a bad chemical reaction to the relaxer you have in your hair.

Answer 2

u should never rinse with hot water that is correct, and yeah - scalp is not colorable... u need a good fortifying masque to use on an everyday basis - try Tresseme for dry and damaged hair, this will save ur hair from breaking, jut apply each time for half an houte minimum, with a cap and a hot towel make ur scalp stay warm inside as long as u got the masque on. stay away frm blowdrying or ironing.

No your scalp is fiiine. It's just a little irritated and sensitive. Do you know how many girls put bleach on their scalps? That's a billion times worse. You're fine, your scalp needs a little break though.
