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..

I do a perm after I have cut my hair so it is similar to the picture on the box except I have no bangs or shorter areas. I think I use almost 50 of the mid-sized rollers. My hair is long enough to get rollers on the sides and back. Since I am slow at rolling I do not apply the permanent mix until I am finished. I even add a few drops of water to compensate for the fact that my hair has dried a bit. I drop the rollers on the top so they are not rolled all the way to my scalp. I have plenty to thoroughly saturate each roller/curl. My hair is fine but dense/ thick but not coarse. Hope this helps.

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.

Bleaching is necessary to make the color stand out. Anyone with hair brown-black must lighten their hair first.

Yes! Just make sure you have let two weeks pass between processes. Also I would just keep an eye on it just in case. Usually in a salon they would do the coloring first then the treatment. Good luck!

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...

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

Depends on how often you wash your hair (I wash every day), the quality of your water (I have unsoftened water), and if you religiously use only the keratin safe shampoo/conditioner (I do). You should not color your hair during this time as well (I don't). Mine lasted 1-2 mos. It's helped my hair from flat-iron burning and split ends, big time. Hair looks great during and after.

Well that depends on how light your trying to go. If u just want some lift to a brown/light brown you can just use any 20 vol developer with this bleach up to 30-45 mins. Then apply the color ur going for. Otherwise if your trying to be really blonde and you have NEVER dye your hair before then use 30 vol instead you'll get a lighter result instantly. I do not suggest dying your hair more than once per day just becuz you want to be lighter and didn't achieve it the first time. Going from black to a much lighter color is a process and it may take more than once of dying. Btw I'm a license profession I hope this helps Well that depends on how light your trying to go.

You should leave the perm on your hair according to the directions. If you don't have the directions, which i'm assuming is the reason for your question, you don't want to leave the perm in your hair any longer than 20 minutes according to your hair type. Please make sure you have not washed or scratched your hair or scalp as this does not help the process and can cause abrasions or scars in the scalp. If you have washed your hair, I would wait at least a day or two for best results. If you have sensitive skin you may want to leave the perm in a shorter period of time. 15 or 20 minutes is pretty good. You also want to make sure that you start around the edges of your hair line first and work your way through the rest of your hair, making sure to part your hair in sections. 4 sections is best, it will help you to go through your hair quickly. Don't use the product directly in your scalp at first. Apply the product to the edges of all your hair first and then, if your scalp is not burning apply the rest of the product to the scalp as you go back through your hair to apply the rest of the product. Make sure to use gloves for skin protection and vaseline if you have it or the clear jelly that sometimes comes with the product. Apply the clear jelly or vaseline around the entire edges of your hairline. Example: if you have vaseline it will work fine, just take a medium helping and spread it on your face at the hairline and around the ears incase product gets onto the skin. this will keep you from burning the skin with the product. I hope this helps and I hope it wasn't too much information. I enjoy helping if I can. Good luck with straightness.

Level 30. Start with the darkest parts of your hair. 40 minutes shampoo and reapply to any missed spots for 30 minutes, shampoo and color adding a protein filler to your color. Neutral protein from sallys works well

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

It covers my gray strands beautifully, they look like a lighter shade of auburn and come out looking like highlights. The very best part, other than making your hair feel healthy, it that it doesn't wash out like the peroxide colorings. Just remember to super condition your hair afterward. The color of your hair will also become more vibrant each day, for about a week after coloring your hair. It is work, but I will never go back to the chemical alternative...I also get compliments all the time

It is a hair dye. You see results at the first use within 5-10 min. of shampooing it in. It was gentle to my hair but the main thing I do not like is that I have only been able to find it in the color black. Another product that only takes 5 min. is Just 5 Colorant for Women. You can usually find at drug stores and beauty supply shops, however, Just 5 for women contains peroxide.

Depending on the condition of your hair, you could recolor right away. If your hair is very dry or over-processed, it would be best to wait 4 to 6 weeks.

It last about two weeks for me. I have short hair and get it cut avout every ten days. So I have to color it more than required.
