Is it safe to colour my hair 7 days after Chemical straightening? Also is it advisable to use semi permanent dye rather than permanent hair dye?

I have straightened my hair 2 months ago in a professional salon.It was L'Oreal product.I am told to use Loreal liz extreme shampoo along with the conditioner.I want to know whether deep conditioning is same as hair spa treatment and is it essential to do this treatment after straightening. After straightening i lost lot of hair specially while washing as well as combing. Atleast 70-80 strands of my hair fall while washing.Moreover my hair is quite scanty. I need immediate help..

Very nice site!

The japanese hair straightening does actually work, i had my hair done about a month ago and it is amazing; totally worth it. My hair didnt fall out and it constantly feels smooth and I dont have to do anything and it looks perfect. I would suggest to get it done to anyone who has thick unmanagable hair.

my hair is thin, wavy, and short. I live in a very humid place. It takes me a half hour to straighten my hair, and 10 min for it to go back to completely unmanagable. IM SICK OF IT! I really want to get my hair chemically straightened, but my hair is definitely not 'virgin' hair. I blow-dry, straighten, and color my hair. I dont know what to do.. =[

i had my hair straightened a year ago. months after that i noticed my hair started to fall out every morning. it is so horrifying to see a handful of hair while i shampoo and it brings me panic all the time because it makes me think of any disease that is related to falling hair. I am so worried now and you could imagine the horrors I feel every time i wash or comb my hair. my hair is just precious to me. now i worried so much about it.

i washed my hair as soon as i got home from the hairdresses after having it done, its totally fine. the key for chemically straightened hair is intensive conditioning once a week every week, my hair is so soft right now i love it! i get lots of different conditions and mix them all together - definately throw a frizz ease hair mask into the mix! then i put it on my dry hair and leave it on for about an hour then wash and blowdry and ghd my hair and wow it feels amazing, then i go for about 3/4 days till i need to wash it again. ive had my hair chemically straightened twice now since june, my hair grows so fast. but next time, which is in a few weeks, im gonna give this brazilian keratin treatment a go because im a bit wary of using the relaxer so much

im a cosmetologist and i've found some of the comments to be interesting.. to answer a few questions, chemically straightening DOES damage your hair, BUT, anything un-natural damages your hair weather you can see it or not- this includes brushing it, washing it everyday, and simple day routines. so although it damages your hair, i'd like to point out that so does everything else you do to it. another big thing i see is that a lot of people color their hair or have it colored and want it chemically straightened.. that makes me cringe! i have virgin hair myself, i dont blow-dry it, dont straighten it with a flat iron and dont do anything damaging with it and i have the healthiest hair i know of- so if i were to make up all of your minds, i'd say, be happy with who you are.. love yourself and love your hair and treat it repectfully because if you damage it a lot now, you may not have that much of it in the future- treat it like a baby. FOR ALL OF THE TEENAGERS: STOP. please dont screw with your hair, i know you all are curious of different ways to change it but youre only hurting yourself in the long run, youre setting yourself up to be bald when your older:/

the BEST chemically straightening results occur when:
-it's done on virgin hair (no color, no flat ironing, no nonsense bull****, im sorry.)
-the hair is in healthy condition
-has good porosity
-has good elastisity
-had good density

im not sure if i helped but you can email me with any questions if you like

My hair dresser used Chi Transformation Smooth Away on my naturally curly (lots of cowlicks) hair. We weren't sure how many minutes to leave it on since there was a time listed for color treated hair and another for resistant hair. We left it on 15 minutes. My hair is so totally manageable now. Just a few minutes with my curling iron and ready to go. I did get some broken off hairs in my bangs but they are growing back and maybe we left it on for 5 minutes too long. But I love it!!!

my hair is un tamable , i relly want too get it done but i've heard so many bad things about chemically straightenibg hair. i don't know what to do ?? i don't want my hair to fall out , it already falls out now but not to thwe extent some peolpe have explained it too be. i dopn't want frizzy fuzzy hair , but i'm sick of my hair now , it doesn't straighten or when it does it doesn't last.
I'M SO CONFUSED !!!!!!
i want it done so bad but am scared of what might happen after having it done :/

'kay. i have dark black hair that is short curly and frizzy. I have always wanted straight hair...it was my birthday a few days ago and i got a BUNCH of money and i want to get my hair chemically straightened or do that japenese thing. But i want to know how it'll work on my hair because im black and white. Some people say it works great! then others say it sucks and makes your hair fall out. WHAT AM I TO DO?

Ladies, I speak from my own 4 years experience of having my hair chemically relaxed. Number 1 rule,after the procedure, DON'T GET IT WET, DON'T WASH IT OR EVEN SWEAT for 3 days after the procedure. After the 3rd day, only get it wet, don't wash it. By the 5th day it's o.k. to wash it, but not every day. Your hair needs time to train itself from the permanent procedure. Hope this helps...

Ok. So I'm half black, half white, and part indian. My hair is reallllly thick and naturally curly. The first time I got my hair chemically straightened it looked soooo beautiful and long and silky! The second time it loooked amazing too! But lately whenever I do it, it doesnt look good at all. Its still huge and thick and its not really straight. I'm wondering if its because i've been getting it relaxed the past times and maybe the first couple times i want getting it straightened or if my hair just doesnt react the same anymore? I dont know what to do! I want it to be straight. Should I try to chemically straighten it or relax it? The end of my hair are really damaged but I'm getting them cut off anyways.. If anyone knows what i should do & why my hair has been weird, please email me at lol_lindsey@rocketmail.com

i want to get my hair straightened but i am getting i colored in four days can i still go ahead and get it chemically straightened? please let me know

I had it done 3 weeks ago. My hair was really thick and curly since I was a baby and Im 27 now and totally had enough of it! I went to a afro caribbean hairdressers - Im caucasian - and they charged me £30 for it! bargin! I had a bit of a problem with my scalp burning so they had to wash it off and start again without really putting it on my roots which is a bit of a pain now cos im kinky at my roots. I do have to straighten my hair every day and its really hard to learn how to do it cos ive never done it before and the whole thing is a very big committment because I have to do an intensive conditioner once a week, and I will have to keep going back to the hairdressers to get my roots done. but i dont regret getting it done

i have horribley thick curly and and straighten it most f the time because not only will my hair be frizzy in the back 90% of the time when Its curly no matter what but but when I straighten it ( with a profetional flat iron) it doesntt last long so finally I am getting my hair Japanese style permanently straightened tomorrow;) in the end it will come out soft thin an silky when dry but will feel coarser when wet.. if anyone is not sure whether to get it done DO IT. it will save you time and stress:D I am kind if curious( of coarse I'll ask my stylist when I go in toget it done on the 4th but why do I have to wait 3 days before washing and 7 days before clipping or pinning my hair back.. my friend only had to wait 24 hours so I'm kind of confused :S
