You should wait AT LEAST 24 hours to avoid color loss and/or damage.

[Since you have to wash the hair to remove the dye anyways, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you feel like your hair is getting oily you can sprinkle a little baby powder, or use a next-day spray like mark. Mega Volume Next Day Spray.]

The two main reasons for having dirty hair before dying are that the hair holds the color better and is protected from damage. I've went one day without washing my hair before dying it, and I've met people who have got it washed right before dying it. It doesn't really matter, but if you really want to be safe, I'd say to at least take a shower the night before getting your hair dyed, wake up, and get it done.

Well you should really get a shampoo and conditioner thats red like the John freida or the aveda shampoos. They help keep the red more vibrant longer. But to be perfectly sure wait 3 to 4 days.

Actually, you should wait 2-3 days.

If you shampoo it when your taking the dye out of your hair, it will wash out.

Can you use TIGI self absorbed conditioner before dying?

Well it doesn't really matter what you use on your hair before dying - it won't make a difference. Personally I'd prefer to spend the precious time with loved ones.... If however you were looking to use it before dyeing it would be a different issue - in that case it wouldn't matter as long as you rinsed it out first, as most hair dyes recommend your hair is freshly washed (ie free of product) & towel-dried. I'd suggest simply using it after dyeing to enhance the condition of your hair post dyeing.

Can the permanently straightening will remain life long or the curly hair will grow?

Curly or straight depends on what happens down in the hair sac, which is where the hair is made. Anything you do to the hair once outside the hair sac, like dyeing or perms, won't affect the growth zone. When it grows, it'll come out like it was before the treatment.
