COLORING VERY DRY AFRO-TEXTURED HAIR
  1. You mentioned that permanent colors are damaging for our dry hair. I want to color to get rid of some gray. Is it safe to use and how often and when should I apply it? I am finding the semi-permanent color too temporary for me when washing as often as twice a week.
  2. I would like to know what type of advice you can provide on coloring my hair and the affect it will have on your system and growing hair? I have grays that I cover about every 6-8 weeks, usually 2-3 weeks after I have applied a relaxer.
  3. You said you recommend what type of dye? I use Posner Rejuvatone (salon formula color rinse- It has no peroxide nor ammonia) It rinses out gradually average of 4-6 shampoos.
  4. I was just reading your website and noticed that you recommend Bigen hair color - what color do you use?
  5. I noticed you recommended Bigen for relaxed hair, but what color product would you recommend for natural hair? I've read your books and you are against self-relaxing, but what is your opinion about doing color at home?
  6. Since I'm 50 years of age and have gray around the hairline, what can I use in between the time I should have the semi-permanent color replaced. Are there any safe crayons to color, etc?
  7. I have worn my hair in a natural state for over three years. Due to the lay offs at MCI. I now find myself job hunting and I believe that my sis twist leaves a bad taste in the mind of the interviewers. So I have decided to get a perm and a dye job. I have ordered a perm that my girlfriend uses that comes from Africa. Its the only perm I have seen handle humidity. My only concern is the hair dye that you recommended. Bigen is a permanent hair dye.......I believe you said it was OK to dye right after a perm????? Usually this will cause extreme dryness and maybe breakage.....please clarify.
  8. I would like to dye my hair as I am noticing a few grey hairs. I note from your website that you say you use Bigen to dye your hair. I purchased this recently but note that it is a permanent dye - is this ok? I thought using permanent dyes were damaging to the hair. Can you advise me as to whether this would be ok to use?
Note: Please keep in mind that some questions can be answered rather quickly, others can not due to time constraints. Quicker responses come from short emails. Long, lengthy emails require more time and are pushed to the bottom of the request pile. Please allow at least 7 days for a response. If your question is not answered within that time, I would recommend resubmitting, as it is possible that on its way to me it was lost in cyberspace. Also please ensure your return email address is also correct as some are returned as undeliverable.
