Color will hold best when the hair is the way it will most likely be all the time. Does that make sense? What I mean is, if you generally wash your hair 1-2 times a day, then do it after washing. If you wash it less than 1 time a day, then do it before washing. You're going to have to wash the color out anyway.

Also, is there any way you could go to a stylist to have that done? I know it's expensive, but you'll look SO much better.

Your scalp might sting more if you recently washed it (hours before). Your best to wait for a day or at least half a day ( dye in the evening).

I dont see what difference it makes. I have dyed my hair after the day that i washed it and there was no difference. I personally think that if you wash (or even rinse) your hair it is better when you apply the hair color. And most hair dyes have you start will damp hair anyway so i dont think it makes a difference.
