I'm straightening my hair on Thursday! So excited. But someone mentioned that I can't dye my hair once I do this b/c it'll cause too much damage. Has anyone heard this? What dyes would you recommend?

Re: Dyeing hair after Japanese straightening?
Yes I have heard this, My sister in law goes to a very high end salon and her stylist told her that he wouldnt even do it, she had to wait a week I think.

Re: Dyeing hair after Japanese straightening?
I had japanese starightening done. I was told not to dye my hair for a while...I think I waited a few months, however, I was told that you couldn't dye it blonde because that would cause too much damage, I wanted to get blonde highlights and my hairstylist wouldnt do it. Hope this helps!

You can do vegetable dye. I don't know how your hair is but the Keratin straightening is great you can dye & highlight your hair but it is temporary. The Japanese straightening is great though!Hope this helps!

Re: Dyeing hair after Japanese straightening?
I have had it done several times. They say not to dye it for atleast several weeks. Going blonde in any way is not rec. I have seen many girls do it then get hightlights and its really bad and their hair breaks.
Wait the amout of time they tell you and then do it . Don't dye it before you go because the straightener strips the color from the hair and you will leave with 4 hair colors.

My friend who has been getting JS done for a few years now says it a big no-no. It will cause severe damage to your hair.

Re: Dyeing hair after Japanese straightening?
I had JS done. I have heard a lot about the big no-no for going blonde. But they told me as long as I wait a couple of months that a darker color is not as damaging. I am afraid also. I do get scattered gray strands here and there. I was thinking of using a wash out at-home color close to my natural color. I think that is the safest way to go. Has anyone else done this??

I had it done, but waited a few months to color my hair. I however, did not go blond just a lighter color. My hair is jet black.

I don't think it's a good idea. You should talk to your stylist about it first. I know there is a time frame you have to wait. Also, you might just cause tons of breakage all over your hair.
just curious? what made you want to do that?

Re: Dyeing hair after Japanese straightening?
My hair used to be really curly. (I used to straighten it in HS with my blowdryer, but I stopped right before college). It's naturally dark brown. But the older I get, the looser my curls get. I'm 28 now, and I have a wavy, frizzing mess... and I'm starting to see grays. So... time to do something different.
