Well isn't relaxed hair already damaged?

@Nicolet not necessarily. Chemically treating the hair in any type of way is damaging but there are ways to repair that damage.
@Rebekah I've had relaxed hair for the longest time and the best dyes for hair is any dye basically in the drugstore or beauty supply store. You MUST however wait a bit before applying the dye to not cause any further damage or breakage to your hair since its already relaxed. As far as dyes it really depends on the color. If you're hair is naturally dark when you apply any type of unnatural color (not blonde brown or black) then the color won't show up as vibrant. In order for any significant vibrant color to show up. You need to pre-lighten your hair. (:

If youre going for natural colors any hair dye is good from the beauty supply store or the drugstore. There's even a hair dying brand called Dark & Lovely thats specifically for relaxed hair I believe but other dyes from L'Oreal and Garnier etc.are also good. You just need to be sure to thoroughly condition your hair afterwards to help prevent any damage.

You have to wait at least two weeks after relaxing your hair to dye your hair. that being said, My mum does have relaxed, dyed hair, and she uses a natural henna. my auntie uses Nice and Easy. Both of their hair is really long and thick, and hasnt broken or fallen out either.

Dorothea, there are no definite, and proven ways to fully repair permanent damage. The key is moisture, and lots of it! I'm not sure about dyes but I just thought that needed to be said, of course you can have healthy relaxed hair, but relaxing itself damages the shaft of the hair strand, which is why it straightens instead of curling like it would naturally, or doing what it does naturally! I highly suggest doing some heavy research as well, and get your hair as healthy as you can before dying it! Good luck buttercup! Post pictures when you do!

@Isabel I know there aren't any proven ways to fully repair damage. What I was saying is that there are ways to minimize damage prior and post any chemical treatment. As a person who's had her hair relaxed since I don't even know I know there's no exact way to prevent damage 100% especially if its permanent.
