Which Should Come First: Hair Straightening or Hair Coloring?the order of hair straightening and coloring

Many customers ask us:

“Should I do hair straightening first, or hair coloring first?”

If you are planning to do both hair straightening and hair coloring, the order is very important.

At melco HairDesign BKK1 – Phnom Penh, we usually recommend doing Coconut Hair Straightening first, before hair coloring.

We also ask customers to avoid Coconut Hair Straightening within 3 weeks after hair coloring.

Why Should Hair Straightening Come First?

Hair coloring products contain alkaline ingredients.

After coloring, some of these alkaline ingredients can remain inside the hair for a while.

This is very important because hair straightening products react differently depending on the alkaline condition of the hair.

Even if we carefully control the straightening product, if there is still alkali remaining in the hair from recent coloring, the reaction can become unpredictable.

As a result, it may be difficult to create the smooth, soft, and beautiful finish we want.

It can also cause more damage compared to hair that does not have residual alkali from recent coloring.

That is why we recommend doing Coconut Hair Straightening first.

Why We May Ask About Your Hair History

During your consultation, our stylist may ask you about your hair history, such as:

  • When you last colored your hair
  • When you last straightened your hair
  • Whether you have done bleach, highlights, or other chemical treatments
  • How often you color your hair
  • What treatments you have done in the past

Please do not worry.

We are not asking too many questions for no reason.

We ask these questions because your hair history helps us choose the safest and most suitable treatment for your current hair condition.

The more honestly you tell us about your hair history, the better we can protect your hair.

We May Recommend Changing Your Appointment Date

If your hair was colored recently, we may recommend waiting and making another appointment at a later date.

We understand that this may be disappointing, especially if you were looking forward to your hair straightening treatment.

However, our priority is not only to make your hair straight.

Our priority is to keep your hair beautiful with as little damage as possible.

If we already know that doing the treatment on that day may damage your hair, we do not want to force the service.

For Customers Who Want Beautiful Hair

Customers who visit melco HairDesign usually want their hair to be smoother, shinier, and healthier-looking.

Many people choose Coconut Hair Straightening because they want to reduce frizz, waves, and unwanted volume without unnecessary damage.

That is why we take the order of treatments very seriously.

Hair straightening and hair coloring can both be beautiful services, but when the order is wrong, the hair may become damaged more easily.

When the order is correct, we can create a much better result.

Our Recommendation

If you are thinking about both hair straightening and hair coloring, please remember:

Coconut Hair Straightening first.
Hair coloring after that, with the right timing.

If you are not sure what to do first, please feel free to contact us before booking.

Our team will check your hair condition and recommend the best schedule for you.
