how long should you wait to dye your hair after a relaxer?

Question

also how long should you wait to relax your hair AFTER dying it

Answer 1

Never dye your hair less than two weeks after you have relaxed it. I learned that lesson the hard way!! Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

My guess is two weeks. That's usually how long you have to wait before dying it again. After applying a relaxer, I would say at least two weeks, maybe a bit longer. I would ask your hair stylist. If you don't have a particular stylist that you see on a regular basis, then call a hair professional and ask them. You could also do a Google search on the subject and see what answers come up. Good luck.

Answer 3

You should wait a week to 10 day before dying your hair after a relaxer. And yes. You can use permanent hair color.

Answer 4

Listen to me wait at least 2 weeks if you colored it to die it again .. If you are going to relax it wait at least 4 weeks to be sure cause it depends on how thick your hair is minimum 2 weeks but some peoples hair can fall or reak. So defenitely wairt 1 month you wouldn't want to find out the hard way!!

Answer 5

Any where between 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, if you lighten you hair then go for 3 1/2 to 4 weeks because of the bleach/peroxide.

Answer 6

That depends on what type of color you are using. If you are using a color rinse then you can do both at the same time. If you are using a permanent or semi-permanent color then you need to wait at least two weeks in between. I would also relax before coloring. If you color first then the chemicals in the relaxer will strip your color.

Answer 7

You should really ask a professional. I once dyed my hair within 2 weeks of relaxing it and it burned off.
