I have very thick, curly black hair and I have been doing some thinking about dying it. I don't want something very 'drastic' I guess, just something a little different. But I've been having trouble finding hair dye that really shows up well on black hair. Any ideas on colors, brands, etc??
**I have tan skin, by the way, if anyone is curious, lol**

don't bleach it. it completely ruins your hair, but if you need to then use a lightener.. it's not as damaging. some brands make special dye for people with dark hair, personally i like revlon colour rays because the color really shows up, but the colors are kind of out there.

to dye on black hair you'll probably need to bleach/lighten it before anything will show up. this will destroy your hair. if i were you i'd leave it alone, or go to a salon. if you're short on money, go to a beauty school, they'll do a great instructor supervised job at a fraction of the price.

Your best bet is to go to a salon where they can lift your hair (bleaching it) the right way and then get maybe some red highlights

I would not bleach it or make it light. You could add a few high lights,go only one or two shades lighter with them. No blond,you will look like a skunk and it will ruin your hair.

Your best bet sweetie is go to a professional. I am a stylist myself and if you do it at home..............you will probably not be happy with the results. If you want to go lighter.......(which I assume you do) it will entail bleaching which is NOT recommended at home. Good Luck hon.
