Red/ Black Hair Dye question!?

the first photo looks the best, i would try and keep it like that by just going over the red areas at the front to brighten them up again as they DO look faded in the last photo. there is a phrase used in my industry that states "colour will NOT lighten colour" which means that if you colour all of your hair black the you won't be able to go lighter without bleach. which means you would either have to bleach them to the red stage: http://photobucket.com/albums/j157/platinum_girly/... which would be brassy without toner or bleach to the orange stage and THEN use a red haircolour. i have been in the business as a fully trained professional for 8 years so trust me when i say it will be a waste of money and make NO difference to your hair if you colour it black all over and then try and go over it with red.

to be honest the black should really be done at the same time as the red.you see tint wont lift the tint out of youre hair so you may end up with red roots only im a hairdresser abd i deal with this a lot i would reccommend you go to a salon to have it done the dye is less harsh and you know you will get the rigght colour. good luck

Um, I'm a boy and I kind of like most of them.

I'm not into that striking red that almost glows but any colour like what a woman would normally have looks nice.

I've got jet black hair naturally and you've given me a good idea to mess with some colours.- I see the rest of guys at college doing it and it might be fun..... Yea.

your meant to wait a good couple weeks between dyes but i never did,always sooner.

i think all black with red bits at the front would look cool,but then i bottle my hair blond with red tints and the front too see my avatar.

kind regards x kitti x

Sounds good, but wait a few weeks inbetween the dying sessions. An even easier way to do it would be to just go to a hairdresser and have her do dye it black and then red, because she can do it all in one go.

Good luck!

Temporary dye will fade but it wont wash out completely. It will ruin the color completely. I suggest getting a wig.

I suggest letting your hairdresser do the whole thing for you. If you dye your whole head back to black then ask your hairdresser to put red in, it will take a lot of work for him/her to get the black out in the places you want red. But if you just let your hairdresser do the whol thing, they will know exactly what to do in order to get the results you want and cause the least amount of damage to your hair.

Four to six weeks is best to wait on dying your hair .I like the second and third pictures the best .the third looks the most natural.

usually about 2 weeks but that sounds cool, i like your style.
