Can you dye your hair AND have a perm? Does it not damage your hair too much?

Question

I already dye my hair regularly (for grey coverage).
If doing both is possible, should I have a perm 1st and then hairdye or the reverse? How long should I wait between the 2 operations?

Answer 1

This is not a good idea because it dries it. Whatever you do do NOT get an organic perm, they don't last as long as a regular perm but do almost as much damage (they have chemicals too its just they're from natural sources) - I have had many many perms and they always last for a couple years (of course they grow out partially during that time) - but organic perm curl lasted less than 1 month!

You should ask the stylist when you get the perm, to be sure, I think mine told me to wait at least a month after perm before coloring. Also a reputable stylist will not perm you if you processed within the last 2 or 3 months, and if you're damaged will not perm you at all on the damaged part - if she did the hair would just come off in patches.

yes hair dye can chemically damage your hair yes, coloring your hair does damage it because you are putting strong chemicals into it, but it isn't as bad as a perm, those are way worse and coloring doesn't break your hair. over time though if you color alot your hair naturally becomes thicker thoughPerms That Go Very Wrong Soft curls and waves are sizzling hot. For many, chemical perms applied to stick straight strands appear to offer the answer. Perms are the simple chemical process of changing the natural shape of the hair follicle. Yes, chemicals applied to the hair actually breaks the natural textural code and then reforms the hair so that the texture is different. A hair perm can be achieved through either a cold or hot chemical process. A number of factors are involved in making a perm successful or unsuccessful While the majority of hair perms may work out okay, there are several proven reasons that history has shown why hair perms can go bad. These include the following reasons: Wrong sized rollers are used on the hair Incorrect hair tension is applied to the rollers that are used Inappropriate timing on the perm solution with the solution being left on too long or not long enough. Perm solution is not completely rinsed from hair. The most common reasons for perms going bad include rolling the curlers too tightly, applying excessive perm solution and using the incorrect development lotion. Regardless of the condition of the hair before the perm and the skill of the hairdresser applying the perming solution, damage to the hair is a guarantee. Anytime you apply a chemical application of any sort to your stands, damage is a given. Keep in mind that the longer the development time of the perm solution, the tighter the resulting curls. The shorter the development time, the softer the curl pattern.

Organic Perm

Answer 5

You can do both. But make sure that you use a soft perm and maybe it will be best not to do it on the same day. Maybe dye it first then give it hydration and treatment for two days and then perm it.

Answer 7

if you dye your hair 1st,, then perm you will lose some of the color.. if you perm 1st. then dye,, you lose some of the perm.. after about a week you will notice you need 2 cut about a inch off the bottom due 2 dryness.. on the 3rd. week after dye and perm i noticed i needed 2 cut another 2 inches off, due 2 dryness.. i had the perm done at the beauty school and a week later i colored it myself..

Answer 8

i know this isnt great advice, but i would think you could, depending on the volume of peroxide they are using for the dye, and how processed your hair already is. If your hair is ultracrispy i wouldn't suggest it, but your hair sylist person would most likely know best...and they will probably make you sign a form taking all liability or responsibility for damages off of them. i know you can over perm your hair which will lead to it breaking off, especially the finer hairs near your neck :)
