dying over black hair dye - pls help meeeeeeeeeee

[Guest]

im naturally a mousy brown,but didnt like it and have been dying my hair blonde for 2 years/or so. i yesterday decided dye it brown, and it turned out the darkest shade of brown,verging on black.. luckily it was only semi-permanent. i spent the following night washing my hair, as it was said to be a 24 washes one. after washing it so much i saw no difference but my hair becoming ruined. i this morning dyed it a semi-permo blonde. and now see no difference. im up for anything at the moment, as i really hate it. im very low on money but am willing to buy another dye but doubt that will work. please help,asap

HI EVERYONE!
i have seen people really getting offended only for not getting a positive response to their reply. I can understand your situation you are in right now u wanted help and therefore u are here.
First of all let me tell u if the black/brown in your hair is your NATURAL/VIRGIN hair u can put any DESIRED/REQUIRED shade of dye to achive it.
BUT if is is permanent colour and u have already used a dark HAIR COLOUR on your hair.IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to get it out from your hair without BLEACH
1) let it grow out..
2)bleach it

The only way to get BLACK/dark hair tint out from your hair is to bleach it or gradually remove it by frequent bleach bath and using a good conditioner during consective applications.
TO DO A BLAECH BATH AT HOME:-
2 tablespoon shampo(preferably clarifying shampoo )
4 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
2 tablespoon good CONDITIONER

mix these three things together and apply on wet hair and work it into lather DO NOT POUR the whole mixture on your scalp in one go ,but apply it section by section and work from lenghts up towards the root .DO NOT start from the scalp as it has more heat and is closer to your body.
Add a little water and work in a good bubbling cover the hair with a plastic cap or leave it open so that u can observe it close.
rinse the hair . DO RINSE IT WELL so that no RESIDUS IS left in the hair .
once the water runs clear apply 2 tablespoon of conditioner and massage the hair n scalp well and RINSE . Repeat 2 times. If you follow the procedure the same way as I have explained the dye will come out gradually.DO NOT rush to take it out in one single go. Be patient or else BE prepared for the consequences PURE BLEACH can do to your hair.

Hi there!
i explained the method of bleach bath to remove hair colour form your hair, it iskinder to hair as compared to direct bleach on your hair.
but again i would explain it a little further, that
BLAECH BATH will not take out the BALCK HAIR DYE out in one single application.
BE PATIENT!!. Black has many colour in it so it will gradually turn from black>deep brownish red>browinsh orange>redish orange>orange>yellow>blonde
What happens in this process is, that the hydrogen peroxide opens the cuticles of the hair,the shampoo drags the colour out ,the conditioner conditions the hair.
but not all colour pigments are removed in one process.so the shade your hair will give depends on how much colour pigments are still trapped inside the cuticles, inside the hair.
I would recommend this bleach bath STRICTLY ONLY ONCE A WEEK and apply a GOOD rich and thick conditoner everyday until the next one.
Use leave in conditioners but PERFUME FREE.
If u have a Busy lifestyle and u can not afford GREASINESS in your hair during the daytime, once you come back from college/work at home smother a liberal amount of OIL leave on overnight and shampoo in the morning /DO NOT FORGET THE CONDITIONER
HOT OIL MASSAGE is another good way to conditon hair.

i dyed my hair bluey green 2 days ago, tonight i want to dye it black. What will happen if i dye over the blue with the black? will it go wrong? will my hair fall out? please help

I purchased dark brown hair dye and my hair came out black. It just didn't suit me and I was so upset. I used a product called Color Oops, located right next to the hair dye. It really, truly returned my hair to it's original color. Maybe a tiny bit lighter in a few streaks. I was totally thrilled. And I used it 3 or 4 days after I dyed it.


There is hope for bad dye jobs.

My hair stylist mistakenly gave me black hair (I asked her to give me a medium brown color). I tried Dawn original dish washing liquid, lemon juice, Prell and Head & Shoulders. Nothing worked. I'm just going to let it grow out. I'm afraid that adding more chemicals will only damage my hair so I won't go for the bleaching or adding of more color.

what colour was your hair before you died it ?
