I want to colour my hair. Should I do this before or after I start locking?
It’s best to colour your hair before you dread for a few
reasons. 1) It’s almost impossible to fully penetrate the lock with colour, and
you’ll never get as even a result as you did before. 2) Most people start their
new locks with wax, and you’ll never get through it all with colour. 3) Lightening colours tend to dry out your hair a touch, giving you an easier time
of backcombing. Remember not to use
conditioner if you’re putting your locks in right away.
