I don't think one has anything to do with the other, except you really should not do a lot of procedures with your hair one on top of the other. Sounds like you don't have any chemicals in your hair now since you've never had a perm. First thing I would do, is condition my hair with a good conditioner, don't shampoo for a few days, shampoo, then wait a day or so and then put color in your hair. If there is any coloring that is made specifically for African-American hair, I'd use that. However, you may want to start out with a non-permanent color--Clairol makes one and it comes in a lot of shades. Sounds like deep burgundy would be nice. Stay away from the carrot red shades and the blond highlights. You want to enhance your beauty. You don't need a perm before you color. Good luck. Go to Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, etc., and look over the hair coloring products and don't buy the first thing you see. Think about it a little and try to envision how that color would look on you. Once you color your hair, it's hard to change it and it takes upkeep.

I don't understand... what has coloring your hair have to do with a perm? Perming is curling your hair.

Try a semi-permanent dye first to see how it looks before you do anything permanent.

probably wont need a relaxer, but you hav to make sure u take really good care of your hair and kep it conditioned. consult a good hairdresser, i think african americans are supposed to use permanent dyes, but i'm not sure. ask the stylist what the best product to use would be.

My daughter is half African American and she has colour put in her hair from her local salon. Her hair is straightened with Dark %26amp; Lovely mild relaxer. She doesn't have a lot of colour put in as her hair is very dry and the texture different than caucasians. I don't know whether you are in Australia, but there is a place in Sydney called Jingles at Burwood that specialises in 'black' hair. She also uses a ghd iron for straightening even further. Hope this helps, any other probs feel free to contact me.
