Do you mean relaxing vs. coloring on natural hair?
It depends on what kind of coloring you mean. I would say relaxing is most damaging compared to permanently coloring natural hair darker, like black, for example, or just a shade or two lighter. But I think it's a toss-up if you were comparing relaxing vs. bleaching, i.e. going blond with natural hair. It just all depends.

^^ I agree. It depends on the type of color you're doing...lighter vs darker. Also depends on the original health of your hair. I've seen healthy colored relaxed hair on this board and healthy natural hair. I'm not sure which you are, but maybe a more specific question can get a better answer.

I make 30 look good!
I had highlights done in Jan and had them bleached first. So far my hair is responding so well that I'm considering getting more ( only had the front done). My relaxed hair broke and shed like crazy, nothing like that is happening now. So for my hair I would say relaxer was more damaging and perm color + relaxer = extreme damage. Then again I had no idea how to care for my hair back then so it could have simply been user error.

I can attest to this as well. I've bleached my natural hair and it didn't break my hair or hinder my length--but when I was relaxed, I was never able to grow my longer than a few inches past collarbone length. So for me, I'd say relaxing is worse.
