* Timing: Wait a few days after using Suave Keratin Infusion before coloring. This gives your hair and scalp time to normalize, and ensures any residue from the product doesn't interfere with the coloring process.
* Hair Condition: Keratin treatments (even milder ones like Suave's) aim to strengthen and smooth the hair. However, if your hair is already damaged from previous coloring or other treatments, adding another chemical process (coloring) soon after could cause further stress. Assess your hair's condition carefully. If it feels dry, brittle, or very damaged, consider waiting longer or using deep conditioning treatments before coloring.
* Type of Color: If you're using a harsh bleach or strong permanent dye, that's more damaging than a semi-permanent color or a root touch-up with a gentler formula.
* Professional Advice: The best course of action is to consult with a professional hairstylist. They can assess your hair's condition, consider your coloring goals, and advise on the safest and most effective way to proceed.
* Strand Test: Before applying color to your entire head, do a strand test. This helps you see how your hair will react to the dye and avoid any unwanted surprises.
