When after a perm can you dye your hair?

Today, quite a lot of girls and women resorts to chemical perm. However, sometimes it happens that the procedure has already been done, and the hair color after it has disliked. Before the lady gets a dilemma: to paint curls or not. Can this be done, and if so, how to carry out the procedure correctly?

First of all, it is worth noting that perm is stress for curls. Despite the fact that hair is always in perfect condition, it is laid and beautiful, this procedure is not at all harmless, even the most sparing variation of it. Therefore, it can be said with confidence that immediately after the curling, it is not appropriate to expose the hair to new stress.

Specialists in the field of hairdressing art categorically forbid their clients to dye their hair immediately after a perm. Hair at this time are fixed, take the desired shape, and if you apply paint on them, you can spoil the result of the procedure. It is recommended to wait at least a week, and even better - days 20. With the rush and desire to change the color of the strands faster, you will only achieve that they become drained, brittle and lifeless.

In addition, even after a week or more after curling, hair can be dyed only when it is naturally strong and copes well with the curl. If there are doubts that it is possible to harm the strands, within a few weeks you need to carry out a comprehensive treatment: drink vitamins, make masks regularly, be sure to use conditioners for balms.

Choosing a shade for coloring, it is best to turn to a professional master. It is he who will tell you which types of dyes will be harmless to curls, as well as what shades you should not expect surprises after painting. In addition, the master will never conduct staining of chemically curled locks, if there are wounds on the scalp, abrasions. Hue for painting should be selected based on your native hair color.

If you are a brunette and suddenly decided to dye your hair blonde, the time for this is not the best. The fact is that at first it is necessary to lighten the curls, and this is one of the most dangerous procedures for hair. Together with the recently made chemical perm, the effect will be completely unexpected, and this result is guaranteed not to bring satisfaction. Here you need to decide for yourself - either you lighten your hair, or curl them. Together, these procedures can not be carried out even a month after the chemistry.

After the time given to the strands to restore, you can try tinted shampoos. They gently affect the hair structure without damaging it. Experts advise to first apply shampoo for one strand, and then evaluate the result. If it is satisfactory, you can use shampoo on all hair.

Such paints can be applied somewhere a month after perm. Since peroxide still causes some damage to the strands, it is necessary to carry out staining no more than once a month and a half. Such paint will last about 2 months.If you chose it, take into account that from time to time you will have to take breaks, because the product dries your skin quite strongly. During the period of rest she will need various moisturizing and firming masks and balms.

These paints know, probably, everything. Ammonia odor is often heard in beauty salons, as well as home coloring. When carrying out the procedure in the home, it is imperative that the instructions are strictly followed. For a long time to keep the paint on the hair in the hope that they sneak better, it is impossible. Here you can also give useful advice: if you prefer such means, it is best to think about painting in advance. Made a few weeks before the perm, it will cause much less damage to curls.

As for henna, here the recommendations of experts are ambiguous. On the one hand, henna is completely natural, and therefore not able to spoil the curls, but on the other hand, such a natural dye will completely "cancel" your chemical perm. The components inside the henna will straighten the attractive curls in a few days, and you will again get the same straight hair that you had before the procedure. As a rule, in any salon customers are told this information, as well as the fact that henna cannot be dyed before curling.

Since dyeing after perm is not always a reasonable and risky procedure, hairdressers have identified a few tips for those ladies who are going to carry out painting at home.

• Hair that has undergone the procedure, acquire a more porous structure. This means that the components of the paint they absorb much faster. The time specified in the instructions will need to be reduced by 10 minutes. For example, if the product needs to be kept for half an hour, then in the case of a perm here, it will take 20 minutes.
• When applying colors with peroxide or ammonia, do not wrap your head and do not wear a hat. Such manipulations can lead to the fact that you just burn hair. However, this recommendation does not apply to henna - here you should wear a hat, on the contrary, it is necessary. This will help the hair to gain a more durable, saturated color.
• Before you begin painting, be sure to treat your hair. Do not use cheap shampoos and masks, give preference to good, proven manufacturers. Try also to drink plenty of fluids, do not expose the curls to direct sunlight, for some time after waving, do not visit the sauna and swimming pool.
