Colouring hair after a keratin treatment?

Is it safe to bleach the hair after having a keratin treatment? How long should I wait before bleaching my hair? or even colouring (highlighting my hair)?


Two-Three weeks


by: Sara
You need to wait two-three weeks before you do any other chemical treatments including coloring. For best results always do the coloring before Keratin treatment. After treatment the Keratin coat your hair like a thin layer of film and colorants might not penetrate the hair they way it should. Either wait three weeks or do it before. With bleaching, the effect is the same. You might get patchy results!

Two weeks before and two weeks after


by: Stylist
No coloring for two weeks before and two weeks after on any type of keratin, relaxing or any other chemical treatment.

Keratin and color


by: Joy
It is always wise to color your hair prior to your keratin service. Color has to penetrate the cuticle and in doing so creates porosity in the hair.
Keratin is a treatment to correct porosity in the hair. Color will penetrate keratin but you will destroy the keratin in the process.

Keratin is a great service after bleaching or coloring and I do it after the color service all the time.
If I am going to keratin after a color I go 1 to a half level darker than my desired results, also a little cooler color than desired results as many keratin's will slightly lighten the hair and cause it to become a bit brassy. To offset this I use 1 to a half level darker and use a slightly cooler color than the desired results!
Works perfect every time!

Should You Color before or after keratin process!
by: Anonymous

Color your hair first then do the keratin the day or right after.

This will give you the best result, cause new color pigments will be sealed into hair shaft while keratin itself coat the hair.

Just two factors to consider and remember.

1) Make sure your hair is healthy enough to take it! We are talking abut two chemical process in short time.

2) Strong keratin process could fade your color rather than make it vibrant and shiny. So ask your stylist or read the manual carefully. Some processes or keratin types are not made for this!!

There are some stylists that do the colour and keratin treatment on same day with success.
It all depends on the type of colouring ( Going blond, going dark, bleach, etc..), health of your hair and what sort of keratin product they use. If you want to be on safe side then give it 3 days!

RE: Full ruined

You probably bleached your hair when it was already damaged due to flat iron heat used by keratin treatment. And now it is fully dry, brittle and tangled!? This is a serious damage. You should never bleach hair when its already damaged!!

The only help you can get is to cut the damage ends out and go for a intensive hydration and moisturizing treatment. Hopefully make it slightly softer and manageable. Do not use any additional flat ironing.

Go to your hairstylist and consider other style options for your wedding - like updo to hide all the mess

You get conflicting answers because its not an exact science and every hair is different. Not to mention the number of different keratin treatments and properties and Dye jobs that are out there and could react differently to each other!

But in most cases (90%), it shouldn't effect the keratin. It been done many times on different hair with success but sometimes the effect of keratin wears off slightly!
Colouring hair after Keratin treatment
by: Donna

I had a keratin treatment done 2 weeks ago. I dyed my own hair prior to the treatment (about a week before). My keratin will only last another two weeks, but I need to dye my hair, especially the roots. Will this remove the keratin? I've had conflicting answers.
cokor gloss 5 days after keratinf
by: Anonymous

I colored my roots one day before keratin but didn't make it darker. My hair got lighter after keratin so I was wondering if it's ok to do a color gloss 5 days after keratin was applied without having the keratin ruined..
Keratin and highlight
by: Anonymous

I have seen keratin and highlight done in same session by stylists. However, it depends on several facts like the type and strength of keratin. The porosity of hair and etc... In my opinion the safest way is to wait 3-5 days in-between sessions.

Is it safe to use the keratin treatment after having highlights done on your hair? Or should I wait some time before applying the keratin treatment?
Dye darker or color sooner after Keratin treatment
by: Lilly Lovell

Joy has a good tip in going 1/2 to 1 level darker and a bit cooler before Keratin treatment, because the color does fade brassy after a Keratin treatment.

Anonymous says it should be safe to color 3 days after Keratin treatment. I haven't tried this, but I think dying just the roots should be ok 1 week instead of 2 weeks after Keratin treatment. Has anyone tried this?
