Hi, here are a few suggestions of hair dyes (permanent & semi') that do NOT contain alcohol: 'Color by Robert Craig', 'Adore' (available on eBay), 'Harvest Moon', 'EverStyle' (by L'oreal)...

I just googled them and doesn't look like I can buy them in Australia so I'll have to order on eBay:/

I went and seen the pharmisist and she said it would be fine to use any as its not being injested so I dyed it yesterday without any reactions:) yay
