What Causes Headache After Dyeing Hair?

I am 71 years old & dyed my hair 2 weeks ago for a special occasion. I left the dye on for 30 minutes & it did not change my hair color (lighter). I immediately did it again & left it on for 45 minutes (bad decision)! I have had a headache ever since & my head just feels funny. I m wondering if I can just wait it out, or if the dye did some real damage to my head (brain, etc.).
