Hair dyeing question...?

I have dark blond hair which is currently dyed black, although the black has faded to a dark brown colour. What would happen if I tried to dye it a lighter colour now?

Its been several months since I last dyed it, what should I do about my roots which are growing in almost blond?

Hi its a funny thing with black hair dye and the roots showing, even if its a dark brown most of the black is sill in your hair. Most likely if you tried to say bleach or prelighten it out you will get an orangey result, or end up with lighter roots than the rest of the hair and it could be patchy.

I dyed the underneath of my hair black once and it was a night mare to get out, I was putting light browns on and they just wouldnt cover the black. So I decided to prelighten it out as its not as bad as bleacing it from staight off as I have done in the past and the hair just gets wrecked. But when I tried to put a dye on the deep orange colour after the black was prelightend it just went a dark auburn colour and looked worse still.

As you roots are though and they are blonde no matter what colour unless you go black wil make you roots a total lighter colour than all the rest.

If you went to the hair dressers they would probably strip out the colour and redye it but then you dont knoe if they will do it properly and how much more it will cost you if they mess it up.

If I was you I would just let your roots come through and not put any dye on and let it grow out keep getting cuts so it doesnt seem to take that long to grow it out as the hair grows faster. Then once all your natural hair is out you can go whatever colour you would like.

A cosmetologist can remove the rest of the color. Then get some blond highlights while the rest grows in.

im having the same problem. i dyed mine black and its faded to dark brown, but its only been about 3 weeks. i went to a salon cause i wanted to get it lightened to light brown but they couldnt do it. they said to let the color fade out more and come back in a month and they could do it then. if its been several months for you i would say its ok, but you might want to ask a professional just in case, because everyones hair is different.

Hair dyeing question...?

the dark part will stay dark and your roots will take the colour youre putting on. Unfortunately to get a unison colour, the existing one will have to be lifted(bleached up) and then the colour deposited on it. You cant just dye lighter even if you use a high lift colour, it will only lift a shade or so.

Hair dyeing question...?

I don't recomend you to dye your hair a lighter color because the color will only stick to your roots. I had to wait about a year and a half to re-dye my black hair to a lighter color and it was partly because my hair grows extremely fast. If you wish to go lighter you should start off with highlights.
