When it is better to trim before you perm or after?

i always get a trim after, but i dont know if its necessarily the best. i always get a trim before i color my hair though. good question spider. anyone else have an answer?

IMO it shouldn't matter. But I usually get a trim after a perm, since the stylist I go to knows nothing about precision cuts.

I think if it's an even cut one seeks, then after a relaxer..
If it's just to trim split ends it won't matter....

I would always get a trim after.

My hairdresser likes trimming after, when the newgrowth is straight.

Thanks All. I think after is best as well.
