    Your hair is most likely going to be damaged by the time your done. So I recommend a deep condition after wards. Which is putting conditioner or cholesterol all over your hair. Then take a shower cap or saran wrap and put it on your head. Leave on for 20-25 min.

    Go to your local beauty store and get a stripping kit or bleach. Are you sure you want to color your whole head. I recommend low lights first. But any way strip your hair. It's most likely gonna be and orange color. Then put the color on you want. Follow the instructions to that. Then do a deep condition.

    if you want to die ur hair a dark brown. go to a drug store. and buy color in a box. there are many options so i suggest talking to a friend who has used a box color before. i have i have used loreal nturl match 5N and that was a med brown. then i just recently used a 3N (soft black) in loreal preference anti fade formula. but 3N is a black but in the sun u really see the brown. to find ur perfect shade to to loreal and look under hair color u take a step by step quiz to find which color you should buy.

    well i had my hair dyed black and i kept dying it over and over and over, so when i went to the salon to get it dyed to a medium brown my hair stylist told me that she would just have to put blonde highlights in it everywhere, because she couldn't raise the black. so im not really sure.
