How do I go from black hair to red?

My hair is naturally dark brown but it's dyed black, I've been colouring it blue-black for over a year now. I want my hair to be a really intense bright red but my hairdresser refuses to do it. She says that even if I get the black stripped out it's still too dark. She also says that if I bleach it before dying it red then my hair will be ruined. I'm tempted to risk it by doing it myself anyway but I know she's right. Is there any other way I could go red?

Get the particular color of red you desire, then get what is called 'hair booster'. You can get it at many drug stores and hair care stores. It's in a small red packet. You don't need that much, but add it to the color before you mix it. It should come out fine.

You would have to have your hair lifted first...but I'd reccommend you have it done by a professional. Bleaching your hair on your own could have nasty results...especially if you've never done it before. Bleaching wont necessarily ruin your hair if you have it treated. GOOD LUCK, or you could be setting a "bald" fashion statement...LOL.

How do I go from black hair to red?

NO. Listen to your hair stylist! Color will not LIFT color. That means you will have to bleach your hair to med/light blonde and then apply the red. More than likely, it will come out bright orange if you do it at home. Please, listen to your stylist. Ask her to take you 1 shade lighter everytime. She can easily do this with a bleach soap cap. This way is much much more gentle on your hair, and as long as you have some patience, you can get your red eventually!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!

Applying color over the black hair color will not lighten it...you will just end up with hot roots (bright at scalp-muddy on the ends). Ask your stylist about a soap cap (just on the colored ends) a soap cap is a decolorizer mixed with shampoo. Any decolorizer will be some what damaging. If your not happy with your stylists recommendation try another stylist.

REMEMBER -- the brighter the color the faster it will fade

How do I go from black hair to red?

Bleaching and Pre-lightening are differenet things. If you get a Pre-Lightener (the make LIVE do a good one - trust me, I use it) which will make it go VERY light, and then dye it red, it will not only work but you will have a dramatic effect, and your hair will absorb the exact colour on the top of the box.

It's easy to use, and you can easily do it yourself, or get a friend to do it - there's no need for a hairdresser, and honestly, it WON'T damage your hair! And, you'll only have to bleach it once, because after that, as long as you stick to the same shade, and don't have any highlights, you can just keep dying it red! :-D

Trust me hon, I've done it! ;-)

This is the website for LIVE colour. You can get it almost anywhere, I'm sure you've seen it on TV even. It works great...
