Cut Or Colour Hair First?
52 Answers
I have short ish highlighted blonde hair and am looking to achieve the best result from a cut and a colour. I always have my hair cut dry for precision cutting.
There seem to be arguments to cut first and colour first.
Colouring then cutting allows any damaged ends to be removed after the colouring process and allows the hairdresser more hair to 'grab onto' while foiling.
On the downside, if you colour then cut highlighted hair, you can end up with augmented lines which gives you a stripier effect, as you chop into the colour.
Cutting first (dry) then applying the colour might then give the hairdresser a harder job to get a foil over shorter hair. However, it apparently gives a cleaner look.
Does anyone have any advice. The general preference of salons seems to be colour then cut, but several specialists online suggest this is not always the case.

Not entirely sure why this has caused sqad's BP to rise to dangerous levels?
Anyhoo, to clear things up, as others have said, as mods, we can't move posts from one category to another (nor can we alter them as suggested elsewhere), yes we can advise the OP that perhaps another section would be better for their question, and perhaps, just perhaps I personally might have done if i'd even seen it in the first place. I more than likely wouldn't mind, but if it pleases sqad......
