Therefore, re-texturizing would be the first step in your 3 step process. Next, I would color, and thirdly, I would cellophane the hair. The cellophane will lock in the two treatments you chose to do first, and give a bonus shine to the hair. But, I will add, if you have exisiting color on your hair, the re-texterizing process will not damage the hair, if kept off the porous ends until the last 5 min. of processing. You may loose the depth of your color processed hair color, until you reapply the new color.
