This is usually from an allergic reation to a chemical. As a hair dresser, I have seen & experienced this many times. Try & use a different type of color, see if it doesnt change. It may also be a sensitivity to heat or chemical also. (Not necesserrily allergy).
It is SOOO good to learn that so many other people (of all ages) have the RHE (red hot ear) syndrome. Mine is always the right ear. I am 59 years old. The first tiime was last year when I was getting my hair done. The beautician thought it was the blow dryer. It doesn't happen frequently, but when it does - it is uncomfortable and embarassing! My doctor is watching my blood pressure. When I told him about my RHE - he said he had never heard of that!

Thank you for responding, and thank you to the masters of this site for letting me know you had done so!
I don't seem to be having the RHE too frequently (right now!) I will ask my beautician when I see her next week if she changed chemicals!
