My hair is dyed black and I get bored
easily so I decided I want it red. I got
loreal feria
but only my roots went red  the rest is still
black
so I phoned the helpline and they said I
have to pre-lightnen it first - duh!!
Has anyone ever done this from home from
black to get it another colour?
Did it work okay?

Have you tried "lifting" the black
die.....It a special kind of product that
removes the color from your hair.....I
think lorel or revelon has it. This is
the preferred method....Because to lighten
your hair you will need a bleaching agent,
when you combine bleaching with dying your
hair twice that's a recipe for disaster.
Lorel color zap and jheri redding color
fix
eta name of products.

I had my hair every imaginable colour.
I am the only person I know who went from
blonde to black to blonde with no
"unusual" colors inbetween (nope not a
hint of green).
I went red to blonde with out going orange
or pink.
I also had my hair blue for sometime -
with silver streaks.
Most colors I had I only had for a short
time onto blonde hair.
I'm really wanting to go hot pink atm lol

You need to strip your hair with a
bleaching product first. It can fry your
hair so i'd wait a while.

I tried to go from a black with a blue
tint to a red color cause the black washed
me out. Well, I just ended up with black
hair with a red and blue tint. Yeah, this
happened a year before my wedding.
Thankfully, I was able to grow it out in
time. My hair was almost in a pixie cut.

I use this shampoo product thing that's
bleach free that's supposed to remove just
the dye from your hair. When I get home
i'll look up the name. Remind me if I
forget.

What jess said is right.
I had my hair dyed black before too and I
had to strip it with bleaching stuff first
and then dye it the color I want it, and
be careful because it really does fry your
hair.
Mine felt awful for like 2 weeks, I had to
go to the salon to get a lot of those hair
treatments because it was so fried.

Hehe funny story:
i had a perm in my hair and my best friend
figured I could use a relaxer like she
does, then I decided to put streaks in it
(same day) well I had that cap on and
when we went to pull the cap off, all the
hair I was streaking came off with the
cap. Ya wasn't too happy.
Tip: don't use black people products on
white hair! Lmao well other than castor
oil. Love that sh*t!!!! Lmao

lol, well it isn't black people products
because the same thing would happen to
black people if they put a relaxer in
.A.N.D bleach their hair all with two
weeks of each other. Its just that the
chemicals from both of those processes are
too much for the hair.

When I permed my hair about 4 years ago it
all started snapping off. My hair was
ruined and I had loads off split ends. I
had to trim about 7 inches off 
it's ok now thank god but I miss my longer
and straight hair

lol one thing I know. Never put
vaseline on "white" hair. It takes 25
shampoos to come out.

Because the majority of my close friends
are black and I thought it would help with
the "fuzzies" like it did on them.
Ummmmm ya, no. Just looked like a
greaseball for a week. Lmao

I had greenish hair once...It was supposed
to be blue tho. My friend did my hair and
I did hers...Hers came out awesome, the
exact purple it was supposed to be.
Lesson learned, nobody touches my hair!

I already posted about my chestnut
nightmare...But i've dyed my hair
"egyptian plum/burgundy" a few times, and
it starts out the deep, gorgeous purple
it's supposed to be, but then it always
turns red!! My skin tone and eyebrows do
not agree with red hair!
