How Long Does A Skin Test Take For Hair Dye?

On the box it says 48hours but I have put some on for 30 minutes and no reaction. How important is a skin test really? Is it potentially very harmful to you or is it just to protect the company from being sued?

    A skin test is usually done to see if you have any reaction o a product. It is worth doing in some cases especially if you have very damaged hair from using other dye products as a friend recently found to at a hair salon her hair fell out as the salon did not do a test.
    She has now paid fro extensions but the salon should be rectifying their mistake as they should have done one to see how her hair reacted to it.
    I have also used one product and burnt my head to the point my skin was peeling so yes do one even if it is in a very small spot or you haven't used the product before

        A patch test should be done 24 hours in advance to having your hair colored.
