let's see I always do a protein treatment a week before I dye my hair. When I color I don't go under the dryer just put two shopping bags on my head, and let it sit for 30 minutes or my scalp will be on fire (last time I dyed was when I was natural). Afterwards I wash it out like about 3x with a moisturizing shampoo, I do a deep conditioner because if I don't my hair will be dry for weeks.
