How long to Wait Between Hair Process & Hair Color?

[kaliraksha]

Ok, so am DYI for budget reasons (saving for Vegas in December, yay!)--

I used a frizz remover on my long curly hair described as a gentle non-thio, no ammonia formula on Sunday.

Product is here: http://www.folica.com/one__n_only_Fri_d636.html

(Which by the way worked GREAT... my hair is soft and wavey and can easily be curled with product and some twirling or straightened with less effort now. I would suggest anyone using it to not leave it on the full 15 minutes.)

I was wondering if it would be ok to dye my hair on Friday? I am using no-ammonia Clairol Natural Instincts in a dark shade (my hair is also dark):

The frizz remover stated it could be used on recently dyed hair, however the hair dye doesn't say. I much preferred using the frizz remover over the hair dye... so I used that first.

Anyone have some experience in this subject? Thank you so much!

oh i use that dye all the time and it never damages whatsoever
in fact, my hair looks 100 times better/feels better once i color it!
im sure it would be fine since its just a semipermanant dye.

and this isnt that related to your frizz thing but a note on the haircolor, i bought nutmeg because my hair is close enough to that and i left it on for like 5 minutes too long and my hair turend BLACK so be careful, you really only need to leave the dye on for what they say on the box!
good luck!

Thank you so much! I bought this hair dye because it got the best rating in Allure =)

Should be fine to use. I'd suggest around a week to let your hair recover a bit but 2 days probably won't make a lot of difference. As long as your hair is in good nick then go for it.

Yeah, I'm dying it for Halloween party on Friday... I've always wanted to go darker and my costume warrants it. Thanks guys.

ALWAYS wait at least a week between chemical processes.
