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..

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!

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.

The instructions suggest and it would probably be best if you waited 24 hours before washing your hair after you use the color. Also, a shampoo formulated for colored hair seems to help the color last.

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...

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.

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

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.

My wife uses this product. The directions are included in the package together with plastic gloves, plastic hair cover and conditioner. Do not shampoo within 8 hours before coloring your hair. Only apply to hair if you have not used any styling products within 24-48 hours before. If hair has been permed or relaxed best to wait at least 7 days before using. If you have any type of henna, metallic dye or color restorer, wait until it has grown out or cut off before using. Apply CoSaMo to dry hair using gloves provided directly from the bottle. No mixing is required. Cover hair with plastic hair covering. Leave on for 20-40 minutes. Rinse hair until the water is clear. Apply conditioner. Wait for 2 minutes and rinse out. That's all it takes to obtain a lovely color.

I color my hair - at least the roots every 3 weeks. So it probably wasn't more than 2 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.

I would bleach first, so your color is even. The splat bleach works very quickly so keep an eye on it. My hair was a light brown and it only took 25 min. for it to come up.

Sorry but semi permanent hair color usually just works with pre bleached hair, because bleached hair has pores where the hair color can get encapsulated. However if you just want a black hair color with blue undertones, you can manage it by just getting a ligth brown bleached hair and a blue semi perm dye

If you have dyed your hair black in the last four months I wouldn't recommend using this. If it has been over four months then sweet it will be amazing. You will however need to do your hair two times in order to achieve a full and even color. Red does however wash out quickly! ! It goes into an orange color within about 8 weeks. You will only want to wash your hair once or twice a week in very cold water with clear (sulfate free) shampoo as well as conditioner. Red hair should always be dry before you fall asleep because it will rub off on EVERYTHING. I had my hair this bright red color for about 7 months and it costed me around 300.

You might want to wait a couple of weeks to see if the color fades just a bit, otherwise, depending on the condition of your hair, you can recolor any time. I usually color my hair at 5/6 weeks.
