Answer 2

it depends on which type of dye you are using - if your trying to use a tint dye over dark hair you wont notice a big difference. I cant comment on permanent dyes but if you are useing temp veggie based ones (such as Special Effects or Manic Panic) then if you dont need to bleach/hair already light - then you are not damaging your hair at all as these dyes are vegetable based and not chemical based so they only coat the hair and actually condition as they dye.

Bleaching you hair in order to use these veggie dyes is what can cause damage so be careful if going down this road - these kind of dyes work best on bleached or light hair but use the lowest volume of bleach you can and check regularly - also remember that hair nearest the scalp will always bleach and/or dye quicker than the rest of your hair due to the heat from your scalp speeding up the process. There is a section on bleaching on the website too that can help should you decide to bleach

Answer 3

If you dye it again too soon after the first time that can cause some damage and breakage. You might need to wait a while before you try again. use Selsun Blue shampoo and that will help lighten it up and then in a couple of weeks you can try again and then you should wait about 4 to 6 weeks before touching up.
