Can I dye blonde hair auburn/copper without it turning some other color?

Question

Im blonde and I want to dye my hair either red/copper brown or bright auburn without going to a salon and I don't want it turning pink or green.

Answer 1

Of course you can but you'll probably have to dye it more than once to make it really auburn. Try a really dark red color to cover the blonde. If you want a brown color watch out mine has always turned a green when I have tried to get it a little darker and stay away from ash colors.

Answer 2

Sense you've been bleaching your hair, your hair has been drained from it's natural red and green tints, which is why it would turn green if you dyed it full on brown at first. Go to Wal Mart and buy a nice redish brown color for your hair. Dye it that first. This will put the red pigments back into your hair. Your hair will soak up the strongest color it can get, seeing how you dried it up into the blond. It's the bleach you used that's making it that way. So when you dye it that red like color, put in the brown you want. This should make your hair the right color, although, time it carefully. It may come out too dark because your hair isn't blond anymore, it's red. Red is obviously darker than blond, so wash it out a bit earlier.

Answer 3

It should be OK. It's when you turn dyed blonde hair black or brown w/out adding some red that you get green. All hair (even the whitest of blondes) has a red under tint (just not all visible). Anyway, if you go to reddish brown/auburn/copper it will be just fine. Just don't use the cheap stuff. Preference by Loreal is OK.

Answer 4

Yes!

If it is light enough you can probably dye it without getting another color!

otherwise, bleach your hair and then dye it!

other-otherwise, lol, use a non-pernament hair dye first to see what happens with that, and ask around to find out what is the best hair-dye brand to color your hair auburn/copper.

Answer 5

you should get um herbal essences "Hydrience" hair dye you put this conditioner stuff in your hair and then put the hair dye on over that and it works really well I went from a blonde to a dark brown and it's not fading!
try it, I hope I could help.

Answer 6

I wouldn't advise it!

My little sister dyed her hair an auburnish color after her hair had been dyed blonde, and her hair turned a greenish color.

So it's really up to you, but it's probably not the best idea.

Answer 7

It can be done, but I would let a professional color it the first time for the very reason you stated. The professionals know what they are doing. Good luck!

Answer 8

Well, dying blonde nearly any color is a pretty safe bet, but I would not suggest doing it yourself, at least if you haven't done it before!

Answer 9

I think you probably could since your hair is blonde.
Usually going from a dark colour to a light colour is dangerous and more complicated.

Answer 10

Why is everyone with blond, why cannot you just have jet black tresses with some blonde or blonde tresses with some jet black hair. Now you don't have to choose.
