That's strange?

Skin is an organ and absorbs chemicals put on it. Lots of hair and toiletry products contain low levels of toxins and irritants that could cause reactions and negatively affect the nervous system. I would steer clear of them and eliminate paraben and sles from your toiletries too.

Section 4 on lifestyle mentions this here

I agree ^^^

Since anxiety is subconscious, then it's made known to our conscious through physical symptoms (that seem life threatening), I think there's something about the smell or some thought you're not aware of tied to your fight or flight. It could be a coincidence at first, that's now at the mercy of you trying to find answers and make sense of it all.

For me, I had two panic attacks at work around 4:45 two days in a row and so then after that, I started getting them every day at that time because I expected/ feared it.

Interesting, oddly enough I always feel better after I dye my hair!

Not really weird that you're getting anxiety after dying your hair. The toxins in hair dyes and other products interrupt with normal chemical reactions in our bodies and that lead to anxiety. For my my detox mechanism are not working properly and that causes anxiety.
