It's best to avoid products with artificial dyes, fragrances, or alcohol, as they can cause flare-ups. Opt for hypoallergenic or natural hair dyes, and consider patch-testing before full application. To protect your scalp, apply a barrier like petroleum jelly around the hairline and avoid leaving the dye on longer than necessary.
