Hair color & relaxers?

how long after or befor a relaxer should i put color in my hairHair color %26amp; relaxers?
Usually three weeks. If its your first relaxer than give it six weeks. Make sure you keep your scalp oiled and ends trimmed and dont apply too much heat to your hair. It can cause it to be brittle and break off. Dont style it too much after the first week of getting it colored. Your hair will need time to get used to the color and might be a little weak.Hair color %26amp; relaxers?
I would definitely suggest waiting about 4 wks to color relaxed hair. I recommend coloring after the relaxer because it will pull color out of your hair and lighten it anyway, so you would possibly be defeating the purpose. You can put a non-permanent color rinse (like Beautiful Browns) on your hair the day you relax. If you put it on and sit under a dryer after you relax it and rinse, it will have similar effects as permanant hair color. The relaxer is going to open the hair cuticle and the heat will push the color into the hair.
If you want a rinse that last a while, there is a perm that they have that has a rinse in the box along with the perm....it's awesome. My bestfriend used it and it was pretty as hell. The perm also makes your hair silky and straight too.
3 weeks
