I'm relaxing today can I color afterwards??

[PinkPeony]

I'm relaxing tonight can I go ahead and color my hair right afterwards??
My color is ammonia free(black) and I'm texturized,I never colored my hair before but I really want to get it done tonight.

 

[ChocalateDiva]

I wouldnt suggest it.

 

[InquiringMind]

Nooo....Only if it's a rinse. On the safe side, just wait at least a week.

 

[Dee-Licious]

semi-permanent ammonia free peroxide free you're good to go

immediately after a relaxer makes it take better and last longer

 

[AsTheCurlzTurns]

I wouldn't suggest it neither. But there's been some who've used the Bigen brand safely after relaxing. I don't know about any other brands. But I CAN say that I've done this before when I was relaxed, but only with the African Pride dye kit to put some highlights in my hair. If you don't mind me asking, what kind/brand of color are you using?

 

[danysedai]

I'd wait another week, I relaxed last Saturday and my gray hairs do not look good, but I bear it until this weekend at least.

 

[amina kamal]

I wouldnt do it unless it was a cellophane

 

[chebaby]

i think unless its a rinse you are supposed to wait two weeks. i say dont do it.

 

[PinkPeony]

I wouldnt suggest it.

Is cellophane the same as a rinse?

I thought so too but then I read here that it's ok at times.

 

[Dee-Licious]

I wouldnt suggest it but SkinteeDee's color in her hair looks nice so I guess she knows what she's talking about. Makes me want to color but Im shook.

 

[PinkPeony]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ok... I hoped it being ammonia free made a difference,I'll wait a week then

The recommended time for permanent coloring is usually at least 2 weeks before or after a relaxer. I seriously wouldn't suggest waiting only a week.

Yup thats what I have been told as well. Ella please wait 2 weeks just to be safe.

 

[mezzogirl]

I agree with the other ladies. If it is peroxide free and amonia free, you it will actually take better right after your relaxer. If it is a permenant color, wait two weeks.

 

[Arcadian]

Semi and demi yes, but with a demi do NOT use any heat.

Permanent is a horse of a different color. that one you should wait 14 days to do.

-A

 

[Kurly K]

only semi permanent or a rinse !!!! NO PERMANENT!!!

 

[Dee-Licious]

***** I bet not hear about you coloring before june 27
fool with me if you wanna

 

[plastic]

only if it's Bigen

 

[LivingDoll]

What kind is it?

What they said...semi perm (rinse/cellophane) is ok. it actually helps to seal the cuticle. BTW, the rinse will probably tingle a little at first. If it does don't panic.

Permanent color (or any color using a developer)

 

[xxCami]

NO YOU CAN NOT!
It will make your hair hard, and burn like crazy.
you can rinse!!!

 

[PinkPeony]

Thx everyone!
I want to colr my hair next week though so I have to get a rinse or a semi-permanent if I want to do it next week right???
I might do that or just wait two weeks and do my permanent one.

Arcadian... what do you mean no heat?
I can't ever use heat again with a permanent one????

Dee I'm NOT gonna mess with you lol(you scurry lol)

plastic I never even heard of Bigen outside the boards

I think she means no heat when processing. You can sit under a dryer with semi permanent color.
