I don't think it would hurt to put the dye in after u bleach your hair. I color my hair as offend as I need it. You shouldn't have any problems..

You can dye the whole hair but if you follow the instructions carefully, you first dye the roots and then wait for 20 mins. Then you dye the whole hair and taking a small portions of hair at a time starting from top to bottom. It works perfectly and the colour is amazing. Hope this helps.

Depends on how long it's been since you bleached it last. I used the purple as a touch up about a month after having it done professionally. Worked great. This is the same stuff my stylist uses and she recommended it to me. However, a word of caution; I didn't know it was the same stuff; use gloves!; also my shower curtain looks like Tye Dye now and I scrubbed and scrubbed to get most of the color off the shower stall. I don't know about virgin hair; seems like you would have to bleach it to open the pours of the hair. You may want to call a professional about that. But this is really a good product and it lasts a really long time. Hope this helps you. Depends on how long it's been since you bleached it last.

A few days. But it will dry out your hair. If your hair is dry is takes a while for it to color. If it's wet not so much. I won't buy it again.

Depends on how fast your hair grows. I don't like using color regularly, but if I did ... I'd need retouching every 4 to 6 weeks.

I have never tried to bleach the hair, but I have bleached hair this color and it normally turns out great. It curls really well for me especially since it comes precurled already.

Since this a natural coloring agent, I wouldn't think there would be any reason why you couldn't reapply in a day or two after coloring. I've been using this for years because I am allergic to regular hair color and some tips I use are: I apply heat to my plastic bag with my dryer every 15 min. or so and leave my color on for a good hour. Rinse only, don't shampoo for 24 hours after coloring. Good Luck!

You need to buy the spray in blue bottle by bio Ionic to protect your hair. Put it all over and don't rinse it. Wait two weeks after you color you hair, and know your hair will lighten up after using this. It says you can even use on highlights But I would not. Make sure to not pull it through the ends until last 5 mins.

You might want to wait a couple of weeks to see if the color fades just a bit, otherwise, depending on the condition of your hair, you can recolor any time. I usually color my hair at 5/6 weeks.

NEVER BLEACH BLACK ONES! Extensions can not be lightened to a lighter color than the original color was, if you do want to dye them, buy blonde ones. I've been dying, bleaching, and cutting my own and my friends extensions for about a year and a half now, I know what I'm saying.(:

I would color after the shampoo. Apply, cover with a plastic cap and sit under dryer for up to 20 minutes. Then rinse, condition and dry.

I had previously been "relaxing" or perming my hair as I am a black female and yes, I did use it on my permed hair. It did not cause any damage that I could tell. What I also liked about it was that you only had to leave it on your hair for a short time...5-10 min max.

I used loreals color zap which is safer than bleaching. It takes the dark black out of my hair and turned my hair color to an yellow color. I waited two days and really washed it out good before using sparks. It allows the color to be visible. I really liked the out come of the color the first week. However it really bleeds onto your skin for a few days after coloring.mIt's just like any other hair dye, it doesn't last.

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

It's a semi permanent hair dye. It's more like a hair stain meaning it will wash out a little every time you shampoo your hair. With that being said it still last a very long time depending on how your hair was before you dyed it. If you bleach your hair first it will last much longer and be more vibrant. I usually dye my hair about every 2 months when the roots are visible.

I usually leave it in about an hour, but I have naturally dark hair. I also mix a little of the leftover dye into my conditioner afterwards to make the color last longer, and it usually stays nice and bright for about a month and a half.

I usually color my hair first then use the keratin a few days or so later. It works nicely.
