I don't think it would hurt to put the dye in after u bleach your hair. I color my hair as offend as I need it. You shouldn't have any problems..

Depends on how long it's been since you bleached it last. I used the purple as a touch up about a month after having it done professionally. Worked great. This is the same stuff my stylist uses and she recommended it to me. However, a word of caution; I didn't know it was the same stuff; use gloves!; also my shower curtain looks like Tye Dye now and I scrubbed and scrubbed to get most of the color off the shower stall. I don't know about virgin hair; seems like you would have to bleach it to open the pours of the hair. You may want to call a professional about that. But this is really a good product and it lasts a really long time. Hope this helps you. Depends on how long it's been since you bleached it last.

I have never experienced any smell after I wash my hair, so about 3 days after the perm. I know that you need to follow the instructions carefully, including the full neutralization step and a thorough rinse after you take the curlers out. I rinse for a full 2-3 minutes with running water at the very end.

I only waited two days since I needed to color my hair, but that did not affect the keratin at all. The treatment lasted two months on my hair, but since I have the product at home and I am a hairdresser, I do it on myself almost every month or when I feel that my hair is getting to volumous, which I don't like, so it depends on how you like your hair to look like. The new growth is what makes the hair look different because the rest stays straight for a long time if you use the right shampoo and don't use a lot of harsh products on it.

1 part of hair color and 1 part of developer mix together and apply for 30 minutes. But you should use only Chromatics hair color with this developer.

I always color before the treatment and it works fine. if you can't color before the keratin, then you need to wait at least 2 weeks after the treatment

I always color my hair (L'Oreal - Medium Ash Brown) but I time it so that they are a week apart. I do it this way upon the advice of my stylist. Since I color my hair every 3 weeks, I've colored it before and after a treatment but It doesn't seem to matter in which order I've done both processes. I don't think it effected how long the treatment lasted and coloring definitely did not dry my hair out.

Thank you for this post! This is the exact question I had (about ethnic hair). I color my hair trying to hide the (premature) grays and I would like to not have to relax my hair so much.

Honestly I'm not sure I would leave mine in for 15 mins 30 max. What type of hair do you have and what ethic are you ? I think this is mainly for black people's hair.

I don't perm. I do color. My hair is naturally very fine and very curly. I like this product because it does not make my hair greasy.

Do you mean fully gray??? I have plenty of gray but am not totally gray, so I tint my hair 2 weeks before the perm so that I have even color. The perm will fade it but it works better. I have used this perm for 20 years and it is/was wonderful!!! They took this one off the market and put out a new and improved one. I am not impressed and was happy to find the "old" one on Amazon. It is a great perm!

If you bleach your hair and then go over it you may end up with an orange color that faded quickly. The red over the black will give it a beautiful red hue.

Temporary. Depending on how long it stays in your hair, it stays it's color longer. I've had it stay black ( in my hair ) for about 3 weeks before having to do touch-up areas. I don't buy anything else, this stuff does it's job.

All henna products recommend to wait at least 2 to 3 months to use after a chemical dye especially bleaching. I waited 3 months after bleaching my hair. Henna only changes your hair slightly and does not change your actual hair color. Henna gives you great highlights to your natural color and does a great job at covering gray. However, henna takes 3 to 4 times of use before you notice results & must be left on longer then one hour. Good news, you can apply henna every 2 to 3 weeks and the highlights increase with each application. Hope this advice helped...

If you shampoo directly after, you have wasted all that time dying your hair. Just leave it on for a while and rinse it out.

Not knowing your basic hair color, it is difficult to say..However, why not take this opportunity to add a touch of light caramel strands by using Clairol Nice 'n Easy Hair color 116B ...Mix the color and with your hairbrush dip in mixture and brush through your hair very lightly once at the crown...once on eac side and once in the back of your hair. Test for color change at 5 minutes... 8 minutes..etc until you see the desired shade of caramel you like. Sure beats going to a pricey hair salon and I think you will be pleased. If your frosting of caramel comes out too heavy, just repeat this process with Clairol frost and tip blonde color

If you have ever been and had your hair colored in a salon you will note that toning is always done at the basin on damp hair. There are reasons for this. Your hair is so porous after bleaching, you don't want to do it on dry hair.
