Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment seem to soothe it and get it healthy. Healthy enough that after the most recent color & highlights, I didn't have any reaction.
Also, don't wash your hair the day before you color. Let your natural oils protect your scalp.

Agreed - I always color my hair when it's good and dirty. If you do it in the salon, ask them to rub a good conditioner into your scalp and through your hair after the color is rinsed. I do mine at home, but I always work that conditioner into my scalp and let it sit for a good 5-10 minutes. I never have a problem.
