Class of 07,

You've relaxed your hair, now its time for you to relax. I would suggest a deep condition and / or hot oil treatment after coloring. Give your scalp a gentle 10 minute massage and a gentle brushing before doing anything else. This will give you and your hair a natural sheen, glow and look. ImportantIy, you need to relax yourself so you wont stress out the hair before styling. Have Fun %26amp;Good Luck

that's wayyyy too much stress on your hair in a short period of time. you're definitely going to have some breakage if you do all of that.

your hair will get damaged with all those chemicals. dyes and perms dont mix well and extensions break and weaken your hair, you should ask your hair stylist first but remember that sometimes your hair is of secondary interest to your money for them.

That is a lot of processing on hair. If you really had to it ( I would not recommend it.) I would wait 2 weeks to actually dye your hair.

However a alternative option is to get a rinse for your hair. It's semi-permanent and you can you do it the same day as your relaxer.

I hope you are not doing this yourself. I believe any type of chemical processing ( relaxers, dyes) should be done by professionals only!

HI,

I personally think your putting to much stress on your hair. your suppose to wait a minimum of 2 weeks before you dye your hair after a perm. i dont understand y would you would dye your hair jet black, and then after the prom, dye it again with Clairol dye? ..

Y dont you just get the sew in weave instead of perming your hair? Your not suppose to perm your hair and then get a weave on top of it. That causes more breakage. You said you barely have roots, and thats a number one indicator that you are overdoin your hair.

Leaving a weave in for a month is the longest I would leave one it, any longer and it will start to lift at the root and look like a wig.

I just dont see why you just wont get the weave for prom and style it and wear it for month after prom?

Your doing to much before prom to just get a weave as a result.
