Black hair dye is a NIGHTMARE !!!?

i have naturally black hair that i`ve dyed light brown. the last time i dyed my hair .. i had it dyed black once .. then a few months later .. dyed it black again .. (big mistake) anyways, i know black hair dye is a nightmare to get out, but it`s starting to fade. i`m wondering if i use red hair dye, will it work ? (even a little bit would make me happy) or would it just stay black ? .. i really don`t have the time to go to a salon %26amp; i look evil with black hair !!

black hair color is the hardest to get rid of.

if you really want to change your color you NEED to go to a salon and have ALL color completely stripped from your hair, meaning your hair wont have any pigment left in it. after you do that you are free to color it any color you want and shouldnt have too many problems. i wopuldnt suggest a red though because it is the second hardest color to get out :)

having your hair color stripped is hard on your hair so if you do it be sure to keep your hair really hydrated afterward.

It probably won't...black hair dye is pretty strong, and once you dye it black, there's really no turning back. You have to bo 100% positive that you want it like that. I would suggest making time to go to the salon, or if you wanted to use the red dye, bleach your hair first and then dye it, but that takes a lot of time and can really damage your hair.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

I have had this problem before. Don't use red because the black wont take the dye and your roots will, thus causing you to have a red "crown." It would look silly.

Loreal has this stuff called preference (I think it is this brand) Anyways, they have hair dye made for people who already dye their hair and wish to go lighter. Look on the box. Get the stuff that is specifically for people with dark hair.

the only way to really get rid of black hair color is to "bleach it out." this really should be done at a salon.

The red may just give you a severely red tint of black hair. It may also end up worse then the black it self.

sorry I can't be of more help.
