How long to you wait dye your hair after perming it?

It's generally recommended to wait at least 2 weeks before dyeing your hair after perming it. This allows your hair time to recover and adjust to the chemical changes caused by the perm before you add additional treatments. Perming can make hair more porous, so dyeing it too soon can lead to inconsistent results, damage, or breakage.

Waiting 2 weeks also allows the scalp and hair follicles to return to their normal pH levels after perming. Dyeing hair with an imbalanced pH can affect the color's vibrancy and longevity.

To ensure the best results, follow the instructions provided with both the perm and hair dye products you're using. If you have any concerns or questions, it's always a good idea to consult with a professional hairstylist.
