Dyeing blonde hair black ??

Question

Okay, I asked a similar question a while ago. I have NATURAL WHITE BLONDE HAIR, it is NOT bleached. Rare, I know. I have always stayed the same, and I am now planning to dye it black. I'm going for something totally different, and please don't suggest brown OR tell me it's a bad idea. I have made up my mind. I would just like some tips from hair dressers :] Pros, cons ?

Also, could I ever return blonde ? I am talking like, a year from now.

Answer 1

Ok, I am not a pro, but I can tell you that I dyed my hair black and it is a natural white blonde.... I did this when I was 16.. And I will NEVER do it again..... The best advice although you don't want to hear it, is start with a dk. blonde to med. brown color..... somewhere in between that... because I can tell you, that Black will be very shocking, and it looked like crap!!!! It almost ruined my hair, and I can also tell you that it is the biggest pain in the *** to try and fix... it took me 3 cycles of bleaching to get it all out of my hair, and bleaching is the only way to get rid of that dark of a color... Definately start with a brown color, and work your way darker..... You won't regret it!!!!

The problem with black is that when you do want to return blonde it's pretty much not gonna happen without damaging you hair i have natural blonde hair and I dyed it black and my hair was horrible for a long time cause when i wanted it back to blonde it was the hardest thing to do i either had to cut it or wait it out so i used color strippers and then finally got it back years later but i don't recommend it and i know that you don't want someone telling you not to do it so I'm just telling you my experience with it and it makes you look totally pale, unless your really tan. But dyeing your hair from blonde to black is really easy to do but make sure you buy two boxes if your hair is on the long side. And my hair did look good for a while until i wanted my blonde back so if your totally convinced to do it then good luck.

I am a licensed cosmetologist....you will get a totally different look by dying your hair black. However....should you not like it....you are in a world of you know what. Color correction is extremely expensive and time consuming, and your hair will never be the same......EVER!!!!!!. What I would suggest to you in to put in some low lights to give your hair some dimension.

When the stylist begins to strip the color out if you are dissatisfied you are going to be utterly scared to death, because all you will see is orange....you will more than likely never see your natural color again. My step daughter was naturally blonde, and she dyed hers a beautiful red...however...she could never go back to her natural color, she bleached it several times, and has now ended up a nice brown with highlights. She absolutely hates that she ever colored it. plus stripping the color out really damages your hair. If you would wait a few years, you will find that your pretty blonde hair will naturally get darker the older you get....why you may ask.....it gets darker so that it can turn grey, and other can see it really good and everyone can point it out....lol. But honestly, I do hope you will change your mind and go for low lights...it is easier to let them grow out than it will be to let black grow out....then you will look like a skunk.....PLEASE DO LOW LIGHTS.

I would definently go for a dark brown if I were you. Light skinned white people never have naturally black hair, so it would look completely out of place. And also, it becomes more of a gray than a black if you have light hair. And what about your eyebrows?! I assume you have very light eyebrows that would clash with the black hair. Just some things to keep in mind...

Answer 5

I don't know if you know but dying your hair black is a very bad idea specially if you are blond. Why? because you will look twice your age,it washes off really fast and it makes your roots look bad,and most of all it won't be easy to go back to your natural color. because you will actually have to bleach it first and that my dear will damage your hair. But hey go for it if you have made up your mind.

Answer 6

Well sorry to say this but your skin color is all wrong for black hair. The only black hair that looks good is natural. You can tell dyed blk hair a mile away it looks horrible usally looks trashy. I am a natural blonde and i would never do that to my hair.

Answer 7

you could dye your hair black...but it will be difficult for it to return to the rare natural white blonde color...you should get it done by a professional...

Answer 8

Before you take this drastic measure, why don't you get yourself a can of black hair spray. See what you think of it. Get the reaction from your friends and family. Wear it for awhile, and if the comments or your ideas are not what you expected then you can wash it out. No harm, no foul. So to speak.

Answer 9

i'm a teenager and told my mom i want red streaks in my hair. well my hair stylist said that if I streak it, it 's going have to be bleached and if you do that then your hair might fall out she told me that. but i don't know I don't think u need your hair bleach, but if you do ask the stylist what's the risk and for me I have to pay 60 dollars when new growth (hair) comes in so I didn't put them in my head I just wear sew in tracks much easier and you get to keep ur nautral hair and color and pay $120, but it lasted for 2 1/2 months so I think that's good.
