Coloring And TR

Caution about coloring chemically straightened/TRd hair. Coloring chemically straightened hair is much trickier than most people think, including hair color technicians, this is because the ends are very porous and the root area is much healthier. Great care needs to be taken when coloring TRd hair. You don’t want to put permanent color on porous ends because it is too damaging. You are probably little confused, so are many professionals. You have to be very careful, consult with the person who will perform this process. Your hair might look healthy to them but your hair had been chemically straightened. It is imperative to inform the color technician that your hair has been chemically straightened before a color service. Always wait at least two weeks before coloring.

Also, if you want to continue straightening/TR your hair, consider no ammonia, gentle, low pH acid hair-color such as Revlon’s Avance vegetable, ceramide, new color technology. It is available in 6 volume activator without lightening power, 10 volume activator with lightening power of ½ to 1 level, or 15 volume activator with lightening power of 1 to 2 levels. This is a perfect alliance for chemically straightened/TRd hair.
