Semi Permanent or Permanent Color on Relaxed Hair

Hello Ladies,

Summer is here, the sun is shining, and I now have an urge to get blonde hair. I am currently 7 weeks post relaxer and I plan on getting my next relaxer in 5 weeks. I am aware of the rule that permanent color should be applied at least 2 weeks AFTER getting a relaxer, but the blonde I want is only on the bottom of the hair.

With that being said, would it be ok to color before my relaxer?

I have had semi permanent color before, and I hated how it looked when it faded. I am nervous about getting permanent color to my ends though because I just went to get my hair flat ironed 2days ago and the lady basically ripped most of hair out.

So I don't know if my ends could handle permanent right now.

Does anyone have any experience with semi-permanent or permanent hair color and what are your hair regimens? I currently do not use any protein so I would like information on how and when to use protein treatments with color. Is it necessary to use shampoos and conditioners for color treated hair?

Thanks!

You want to lighten damaged ends? You can't lighten with semi perm color.

I can honestly see you suffering terrible breakage.

I had my hair semi perm dyed blonde on the top before. At least that's what my hair dresser told me. With 5 washes it washed away to this orange color though. I didn't really get any breakage compared to the rest of my hair. But maybe I'll just stay away from color until my hair grows a little longer

I wonder what you had. I always thought you need something with lift to make hair brown hair lighter.
