Hi lelin! I don't dye my hair but I do have them cut. And I think either way works. But I would suggest to cut first before dyeing (I hope I spelled it right) the hair. Simply because so as not to waste too much dyeing ingredients or product when you are going to cut the hair after. You dye it and then you cut it. Sounds wrong, right hehe.
Ciao!

Yes would think that but some people here in this discussion said that at their salons they dye then cut so I guess maybe its up to the individual. I'm going with cutting and then I will dye a few days later. Thanks for responding.

I noticed some of the responses also noticed most of them did their own hair. I am a retired haidresser, 47 years i did hair. Ryn is feeling better, thanks for asking. He's still not back to his sweet self.

I'm getting mixed ideas on this. Thanks though for your response. By the way how is Ryan doing after a week from surgery?

I was waiting for both of your answers, Jo. What you say is what my aunt´s niece did to me (she is also a hairdresser). You should see my looks now. It is quite different as when I did it myself.
It will take a while to totally stop hurting ( Ryan´s surgery). The good thing about icecream (or better still sherbet) is that ice anesthesises the mouth. Do keep me posted on how he is.
Hug!

I have mine done at the beauty shop. I get color once a month but I just have it trimmed every so often. When I have it trimmed, my hairdresser puts the color on first, washes it, and then trims it. She doesn't take any length off, though. You see, my hair is pretty long and I'm trying to get it to my waist, maybe even longer. It's about midway down my back now. I tried coloring my own hair one time and I said I would never do it again. I made the awfulest mess all over the bathroom and it kept running down in my eyes. Kathy.

If I had long hair I too would never color my hair myself. I have short hair and I'm very careful not to get it on anything. I'm alway afraid of staining something. I guess there isn't a right or wrong way of doing it. Thanks for the response.

So like I said earlier I guess its up to the individual and there is no right or wrong way to do it. Thanks for your response.

I cut my hair and then dye it. I really have no reason for it. I just figure it is a good way to do it.

Everyone has their own way so there is no right or wrong I guess. Thanks for responding.

I have my hair dyed first then cut to a style I fancy at the time,If you have your hair cut first you may change you mind about how short you have your hair,if you cut it first you have no choice.Unless of courst it is down your behind and that lot is going anyway.

I would have it cut first, just to avoid having to have it washed (usually they wash your hair when they cut it - and this causes fading right after you dye it) but that's just my opinion. I don't usually get my hair cut (I tend to do it myself..Yeah. I'm weird!) but I dye my hair all the time.

When I get my hair cut I don't have them wash it, they just wet it. I have very fine short hair. Thanks I think I will just wash it first then dye a few days or a week later. Thanks so much for responding.

I ususally get my hair cut at a salon but I dye my own hair. Thanks for the response.

Yes in cases of long hair I understand that. My hair is short though. However, when thinking about it cutting it first and then waiting to dye will be the best way to do it. Thanks for responding.

I was always taught that if you got your haircut you should wait a few days to color it so the ends don't absorb more color than the rest. Or you should color it and then cut it. I'm not sure if any of this matters but I did read it years ago on the directions of some hair dye. It seems to make sense so that's what I go with...lol
Perhaps there is someone out there that will tell us the secret.
Brightest blessings,
Mari
