Keep datagrid hidden until bound columns have been generated

Hello,
I have a datagrid with AutoGenerateColumns property set to true. However, I have to change text of some of the columns headers and change the display index of other columns. This is causing the datagrid to flicker (for a fraction of a second, one can notice the columns changing).
Is there a way to keep my grid hidden until all data is loaded and columns changed before displaying it?
Thank you

What I have tried:

Tried to set visibility to hidden by default and then change it to visible when the AutoGeneratedColumns event fires with no luck.

For this Situation I do not see _any_flickering:
1.) Data Binding in CTor of the hosting Window of the grid
2.) Arrange Columns in dataGrid_Loaded
Does this help or do you have another sequence/situation for these two actions?
