This is likely an allergic reaction to a chemical in the hair dye. Please gently wash your scalp with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap to remove any remaining dye residue. While fexofenadine (Allegra) helps temporarily, head swelling warrants a prompt evaluation by a doctor, who may prescribe a stronger treatment like a corticosteroid to safely reduce the inflammation. If you experience any difficulty breathing, swallowing, or worsening swelling around your eyes or face, please seek emergency medical care immediately.
