Had hair colored yesterday-ammonia smell was very strong-my eyes started tearing and nose has been burning since.have i done permanent harm?cancer?

No, don't worry!: The chemicals used in hair coloring are very strong, but they will not cause you permanent damage unless you are exposed to them all the time. Talk to your hairdresser about the fact that your nose has been burning. Maybe the mixture was too strong. There are more natural, non-ammonia ways to color your hair- ask about that, too. But don't worry, you won't get cancer from this!
