Does this work with already color treated hair? I have long, thick, coarse hair that I've dyed dark brown/black.

Yep! If you have long thick hair, get several kits though. It works on color treated hair like a snap, however the amount of powder is skimpy. I had shoulder length hair when I lightened and my hair is thin but I have a lot of it and I nearly needed two kits. That is my ONE complaint with this product. I had NO damage from it, I had NO problems with over drying or over processing, it lightened quickly, and it was excellent, just not enough powder. I do recommend putting on a shower cap (or a grocery store bag if you're poor like me) and wrapping your hair in a towel, it will process much faster. If you don't then you will get the over processing and over drying because it stays on too long. Just my two cents. Good luck!

I would say yes. If you are planning on doing a lot or all of your hair you will probably need more than one box to cover all of the surface of your hair. And follow the directions, checking a strand of your hair as you go, to achieve the color you desire without over-processing and damaging your hair.

I used it on my hair, which is color treated. I just make sure not to do them too close together.

Yes, that's what I did because it didn't work on my black hair and just made a sticky horrible mess. It washed out without a problem.

I haven't had any problems with color-treated hair. I wouldn't say that it strips or shortens the life of the color, something that I look for.

I have dark black hair and color it now to cover the greys. This product does not fade the color at all. I used to loose a ton of hair after turning 35 and this treatment program really helped with this problem. I wash about 2 times a week, long and dry hair, and use a conditioning mask on the ends of my hair to get less frizz as that has always been a problem with my long hair.

Yes , I use these products AND HAVE HAD keratin products put in my hair . Matter of fact , it might work even better after the treatment . I know when I color my hair, the color last longer than normal.

I am not a professional stylist but this product was recommended by mine. He especially suggested the after wash conditioner that you must leave-in for 10-minutes before rinsing. I am a dark brunette with untreated (natural) hair. So far, has not caused any discoloration. Be sure to use on damp hair not wet. Once dry, the texture is play-in-your-hair soft. This is only my experience. Hope it works for you. ;)

I have long and very thick hair. I have to divide my hair into small sections to iron it...but I have had to do this with every brand I've had. Works great on my hair.

I have color treated hair and it seems to work fine. Its not formulated for colored hair but its very moisturizing. Its sulfate free which helps too.

Yes, it does work on African American hair. This is the first time I've used it for my dry, damaged, over-processed hair. My hair is thick and coarse and after the first application, feels and looks soft and healthy! Instead of leaving it on for 10 minutes per the instructions, I left it on for 30 minutes and put a plastic cap over it. So far, it's a keeper!

it will not dye your hair - it did not dye mine. i have dyed hair and I used it to try to maintain the red so it wouldn't fade so quickly. It helped a little but not a great deal. I have since switched to Pureology red shampoo. I love that product much better....

I am sorry. I don't have color treated hair and I'm not a person in authority to say yes or no. I suggest you consult your hair dresser.

Hi MM, Yes, I believe it should be ok with colored hair. My hair is dyed & Nioxin did not effect the color. I spray Nioxin on wet hair & blow dry. It is only a temporary fix to thicken hair though, I have not seen any long lasting effect.

Yes I have highlighted hair and used it, I mainly used it near my roots though, and it did not effect the highlights. However, it says it is not recommended for use on color treated hair.

I used the blue and i have dark brown hair. It was very noticeable once it had dried. I haven't used the other colors yet but the blue does show up on dark hair.

I also have super thick, long hair, and I found that one tube was plenty. I mixed it with toner (30 volume) so that basically doubled the volume of dye - and made the color longer lasting.

Hi Daniela, I am caucasion, but have thick black hair, and it began working after the first laser treatment. I have since then done it about 3 solid times in all areas, and hair has not grown back, but directions say to repeat every few months.
