One of the most common symptoms of conditioner allergy is itchy skin. The skin may feel prickly or may have a persistent itch that is not relieved by scratching. This can occur immediately after using the conditioner or may develop over time.
If you are allergic to a conditioner, your skin may become red, inflamed, and swollen. This is your body's immune response to the allergens in the conditioner. This inflammation can cause discomfort and may also lead to other skin conditions if not treated.
A more severe reaction to a conditioner allergy is breaking out in hives or a rash. The rash may appear as small, raised bumps that are often red in color and can be extremely itchy or even painful.
An allergic reaction to conditioner may also cause your scalp to become dry and flaky. This may look like dandruff, with white flakes of skin that fall from your scalp. This can be due to the conditioner irritating the skin on your scalp and causing it to dry out and flake.
In some cases, a conditioner allergy can even cause respiratory symptoms. This can include shortness of breath, wheezing, or even asthma-like symptoms. This is due to the allergens in the conditioner being inhaled during and after application of the product.
In severe cases, an allergic reaction to a conditioner can cause blisters or peeling skin. This can be painful and will require immediate medical attention. These symptoms indicate that the skin has been severely irritated by the allergens in the conditioner.

You may prevent allergic reactions by using hypoallergenic conditioners, which are specially formulated to be kinder on the scalp and hair. These are typically fragrance-free and are made without common allergens, reducing the likelihood of a reaction.
Before applying a new conditioner product to your hair, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to a small area of your skin, such as your wrist or behind your ear, and wait 24-48 hours. If you develop an allergic reaction in that area, avoid using the product.
Always read conditioner label before buying. Look for fragrances, preservatives or dyes that you know you are allergic to. If you see those items listed, consider another product.
As an alternative to commercially available conditioners, consider using a natural conditioner or homemade treatments. Ingredients such as coconut oil or argan oil can be used as natural conditioners and are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
