Does anyone else find that hair dye itches or stings while it’s on?

Hello everyone. To start with, I have a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis, which might explain why my scalp stings and feels slightly burned whenever I get my hair dyed. I use regular hair dye containing ammonia; ironically, when I tried ammonia-free versions, my hair became extremely dry.

I don’t experience any significant issues once my hair is washed—no redness or lingering itchiness. However, I’m wondering if I should look into different types of hair dye, or if this is a relatively common occurrence for those with sensitive skin.
