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 would color after the shampoo. Apply, cover with a plastic cap and sit under dryer for up to 20 minutes. Then rinse, condition and dry.

Very very permanent ... It MUST grow out before you try to put any lighter color on your hair. You absolutely should not try to bleach over this. If you want to have black hair forever use this... If you want a change in 6 months... Don't buy this... They have a semi perm option that is a gel.

A few days. But it will dry out your hair. If your hair is dry is takes a while for it to color. If it's wet not so much. I won't buy it again.

NEVER BLEACH BLACK ONES! Extensions can not be lightened to a lighter color than the original color was, if you do want to dye them, buy blonde ones. I've been dying, bleaching, and cutting my own and my friends extensions for about a year and a half now, I know what I'm saying.(:

I have color treated course hair and use the "normal" formula every 6 to 8 weeks on just the new growth. My color treatment is semi permanent, not permanent. Hope this helps you.

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

the short answer is yes- the effectiveness with depend heavily on how dark your hair is currently dyed, if you bleached it before the previous coloring then it'd be much safer to just let the current color fade before you try to bleach again

I usually color my hair first then use the keratin a few days or so later. It works nicely.

Your hair was probably bleached before applying the VV. You probably need a professional service, witch involves repigmentation and then applying the black color. Or applying straight black semipermanent color. Obviously your hair coloring history involved a lot of abuse, meaning a high degree of porosity. It is not the Elumen that doesn't allow your hair to take permanent black color, it is the condition of your hair.

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.

No you can continue to store it in a cool place that is listed on the bottle, because it is a semi-permanent formula. It goes straight on your hair, no need to mix anything else on it. With permanent hair color, what you mix, starts to ruin after an hour or so. Bleach especially cannot be kept, if you are using a box bleach, because it starts to become combustible. But these, and MOST I can't speak for all, CAN be kept because I will keep mine for touch ups or add them in to a white conditioner to make it more vibrant. But I would buy them directly from Manic Panic or a Sally's.

If you recently colored your hair, would wait at least 15 days before using a chemical straightener. Also, would wait for 3 months in-between chemical straightening.

Depends on how fast your hair grows. I don't like using color regularly, but if I did ... I'd need retouching every 4 to 6 weeks.

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.
