13+ Glory Do You Cut Or Dye Your Hair First
So if you are trying to go lighter across your whole head and you have long hair it would be best to do the roots at the end and do the lengths first.
Do you cut or dye your hair first. If thats not an option for example if you already have a stylist and colorist you love and they work out of different salons always opt to get your hair cut first then bleached dyed or highlighted preferably within a few days of each other. One reason for this is that you will have a better idea as to how much dye you need for your hair after the cut. Another reason is that if you use temporary dye it should.
This is especially true if you are bleaching. Cut first then dye afterwardsIf you dye it first you will see the difference in your hair when you have it cut. It is advised to only dye natural hair but if you must do both processes wait at least a few weeks before dyeing your hair.
Answer 1 of 12. Find the right hair-dye color. Chemically processing your hair and dyeing your hair is a no-go.
I had to have several inches cut off my hair because it was so badly compromised by chemicals. Depending on the dye you might end up with split ends so if its long it wont be so bad. Can I be awkward and say I always get it dyed then cut.
The only time I can see this making a difference is when the salon charges for color according to the length of the hair. There isnt just one best hair dye. Youve gotta make sure you get every single strand of hair though.
You dont technically have to but if you are planning on doing both its a good idea to dye after the cut. I just wondering if the colour is right. Getting a fresh cut or trim before highlights allows your colorist to tailor the highlights to the cut This can be especially important if youre getting balayage and the color is focused towards the ends of the hair.
