Dyeing Over Black Hair!!!!!!!!!!!?

hey guys :)

i do know for a fact that if you dye over black hair,, it will more than certainly go Ginger. So iv'e had to live with the black :/

right, my natural hair colour is blonde (just though that'd help).

and the black has faded into like a fady darkish brown, and some bits have faded into like a fady gingery dark brown.

if i were to dye over the fadey black intro blonde.....yeah it will probs go ginger....but what i want to know is that...does it help to go blonder the more fadeed the black is??

does washing black hair with "For Blonde" shampoo %26amp; conditioner help tone it down??

please help guys :/

Dyeing Over Black Hair!!!!!!!!!!!?

did you dye it black with permanent dye? if so, it's extremely damaging but you'd pretty much have to bleach your hair to strip it of the black dye (which would turn it orange), and then get it dyed/toned blonde

i really wouldn't recommend trying it at home.

and using the shampoo/conditioner wouldn't do anything because all it does is add shine agents to your hair. if you want to "tone it down", just use a semi-permanent black to go over it again or something, but that sounds like the opposite of what you want to do anyway.

Yea, that's what happened to me. Tried to dye my hair back to my regular chocolate brown, and my roots ended up red. Now I'm stuck with growing it out.

To your first question, no, I don't think so. To your second, I'm not sure. Try it. What's the worst that could happen?

To get rid of the black, you would need bleach and lots of it. You should also count on your hair to have the worst, dry, feeling in the world afterward. The only way to save you hair is to go to a salona nd have them "strip" the color out and then dye you hair back to the blonde. Its expensive, but it works.

ok what you do NOT want is bright peroxide permanant completely unnatural blonde hair. I have never actually dye my hair (im only 15...)but from my school friends' experiences (which have been complete disasters by the way!) i know a little.

If i were you, just let your natural blonde hair grow through if you want a two tone colour or just cut your hair off and allow it to grow back nice and naturally blond.

and i doubt the shampoo would make a difference - they just cost loads and i have brunette hair and got this real expensive shampoo and it didnt work that amazingly.

and yes when the black fades out it should lighten unless the hair is damaged but i doubt it

whats wrong with ginger any way? haha
