Going to get my relaxed hair dyed the day before valentine's day....?

What do I need to know to maintain healthy hair? I need some advice . It's been three weeks since I had a relaxer

 

[Evolving78]

are you going lighter or darker?

 

[Evolving78]

just up your moisture. make sure you deep condition your hair and use a good
moisturizer. and be easy on the heat.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

be careful....

Lighter, I plan to use the 20 volume developer and go from dark brown to red

My advice would be for you to get it done professionally by a colorist...someone who specializes in color.

stay away from the heat. wraps and rollersets should become your bffs now.

Ok, whew *wipes brow* I'm glad!

Up, up, up your moisture and keep those ends nice and trimmed. Also, as Shortdub said, rollers will be your new best friend!

Thanks, so far I'm good because all I do is roller set and I haven't flat ironed my hair in years and I moisturize before i go to sleep and when I'm about to leave out in the afternoon with perfect for perms moisturizing creme and seal with coconut oil

Yal making me feel confident that I can do it and I'm no longer scared I seem to be doing everything already fine, but is Shea moisture a good shampoo for colored hair because that seems to be the only shampoo that doesn't dry my hair

I don't have my bottle in front of me right now, but it's very gentle. I don't think that it will do much to your colored hair, but when you do your first wash, check to see if there is lots of color in the sink/shower. If there is, its stripping your hair of the color you just put on.

Paul Mitchell makes a good shampoo for color hair and their daily conditioner is perfect...makes the hair really soft and moist afterwards.

Alright I will do that thanks

It was a scary process but it's done, I love the color, didn't want to go too bright because the rhianna hair color is basically clown red

Will put a picture when it's out on here later but in the pic I got a hump and ponytail in my hair
