Outsmart hair-dye irritation with this

“I color my hair at home to save money, but the dye always makes my scalp itch. Luckily, my hairstylist pal shared this easy trick: Mix two packets of Sweet’N Low into the dye and apply as usual. The sweetener contains cream of tartar and acids that neutralize chemicals in the dye, preventing irritation.” —Sylvia Jackson,
