Shedding scalp skin: Your scalp was irritated from the chemicals in the dye which is common. Once the irritation occurs the skin becomes inflamed and sheds (similar to what happens when you get a sunburn). Coconut oil is a great way to sooth the scalp and great for your hair and may help your symptoms.
