Appt for DevaCut - should I color first?

RacerWife7

I have an appointment for my first DevaCut on 10/23. I was wondering if I should or shouldn't dye my hair beforehand? What do you think?

I'm 45 and have some stubborn grays as well as dark roots.

I guess it depends on whether your coloring relaxes your curl pattern. If it does you might want to wait until after the cut. Personally, I would ask your stylist.

Thanks for replying. Hmm... I don't think it relaxes it - I never noticed really. I do it at home. And I haven't talked to the girl who will be doing my DevaCut yet. I just made an appointment - never been there before.

I think I'm going to do it since my cut appt. isn't for 2 more weeks. Thanks again! I just wondered if it was going to be a problem or anything. I guess it would be if it caused relaxation.

I have and I have not. Never seemed to matter. I prefer to color it before so that I feel like it is all new at once!

Thank you! In all the years that I've been coloring (about 14), I never noticed a problem with my color relaxing my curl. So, I think I'll be okay. It helps to know others who have similar experiences, though.

Color first. You'll remove the damaged ends and won't have the freshly cut ends soaking up color, resulting in too dark ends
