Are relaxers a bad mix with hair dye?

Okay so i have really curly hair because im half black and it brunette but i want to dye it black with maroon highlights and i want to relax it so my hair will be straight will it damage it if i get them both done at the same time?Are relaxers a bad mix with hair dye?
relaxers in the first place are damagingAre relaxers a bad mix with hair dye?
I just saw a case on one of the court shows today about a woman suing her hair stylist for burning her scalp and all her hair out with a relaxer. The real story behind the incident is that the woman suing her hair stylist had actually colored/dyed her hair within the two weeks before her relaxer appointment.





Long story short, if you color your hair, wait a while before you relax it because the coloring process turns the natural tingling of a perm into an intense burning.





I ain't telling no lye, like your relaxer should be...
Your hair will completely fall out if you get them done at the same time. You cannot use these chemicals right on top of each other. However, you may get a relaxer, and then wait two weeks and then get color. I know mixed people that has used relaxers and it caused their hair to break. I think that mixed people have beautiful hair, and adding a relaxer will probably only complicate things and make your hair harder to manage. Once you Start getting relaxers you really have to make sure you maintain it. Sometimes it can be alot of maintenance, depending on how well your hair takes it. Many people that use relaxers end up having to use something in order to repair it. Hair dye even more harsh on the hair, and definitely requires consistent maintenance. These are some things to think about while considering relaxing and coloring your hair. So, if you do decide to do it, make sure that you can find the appropriate products to keep your hair healthy.
Yes, it can definitely damage the hair if they're both done at the same time - all of the chemicals being put in your hair can make you hair fall out or break off easily. Most professional stylists suggest waiting about 2 weeks in between the two to give the relaxer time to set and the chemicals to kind of die down.
Choose one or the other, but don't do both.
