If you are doing a home color, the instructions will tell you if you are to shampoo immediately after coloring or not. If the instructions say to just rinse your hair until the water is clear, then you can shampoo by the next day, or even that night if you colored in the morning. With some brands (types) of colors, you need to give your hair/scalp time for the hair shaft/cuticle to seal, which is the reason for waiting at least 12 hours before shampooing. If your hair was colored by a professional at a salon, you can shampoo as soon as you want, unless otherwise instructed by your hair dresser.

How long do you have to wait between coloring your hair?

You have to wait about until your color is mostly out. Dieing your hair after it just got died can cause hair loss. I would just wait until it's all out. If you want to get your color out quickly take care of your hair. Take regularly showers, to wash out hair colors, and brush hair very often.

You can (and should) bathe and wash your hair when you have a cold. Just make sure you dry your hair completely before going out in cold weather.


How long do you have to wait to relax your hair after getting a permanent hair color?

You should really color your hair AFTER getting a relaxer because if you color then relax the color will fade. You should wait 2 weeks before you color your hair after getting a relaxer so I assume this means you have to wait 2 weeks before you relax after coloring. Next time stick with sem-permanent so your hair won't get as damaged. Dark and lovely is a good brand to use to color your hair after a relaxer. You can even do it on the same day it lasts thru 12 washes and I doubt you wash your hair everyday since its relaxed so if you wash every other day then it should last you about a month. If you wash once a week then it should last you 3 months not only that its also semi-permanent. It has NO peroxide & ammonia. You can get it at walmart in the ehitic hair isle. Hope I helped.


How long should you wait to shampoo your hair after coloring?

You should wait a day if you are going to the salon to have your hair coloured. If you are doing a home colour and it requires you to wash your hair right before you colour it then you can do it as soon as you towel dry it.

Person has grey hair puts a color through it then wants to go back to the grey color how do you go about doing this?

You have to wait for the color to wash out and your hair to grow until all the color is gone with cutting the hair. Will take about 2-3 months to be totally out.
