I'm hair coloring dumb. Help me

[montereybride]

I need a hair cut. Badly. I also want to get it colored. I'm not going to the same person for both.

Do I get my hair cut before or after I get it colored?

[montereybride]

Oh, and by 'get my hair colored,' I mean highlights and lowlights.

I would get it cut first.

Cut, then coloured. Why colour all the hair you're getting chopped off?

[muppetinma]

Cut first. A good colorist would plan the placement of the highlights and lowlights based on the way your hair falls. That could change easily if you're getting a decent amount cut.

Thanks!
