hi... i have natural black hair and i really want to color it a nice chocolate brown color. im opting to dye it myself because it would be really expensive for me at a salon since my hair is up to my waist. i heard that for dark haired people, the actual color that comes out will be a tad bit darker than the picture on the box. do you think if i dyed my hair a shade lighter, i would get the color i want? and do i have to bleach my hair first? (though i dont want to) thanks!

It is almost impossible to make dark hair lighter at home without it looking a bit fake. You can experiment with a temporary colour like Loving Care that washes out in 6 weeks. It might add some nice highlights without making it look too fake. Don't bleach it - you'll really regret doing that at home - it takes a professional salon to make that work.

If you have naturally black hair, the only way to get a different color would be to use bleach to lighten it to the level you would like, and then you can put the brown color over it. It is not necessary to lighten your hair to an even blond, just to the level you would like. For instance, your natural color is probably a level 2 unless you are Asian you would be a 1. Your chocoloate color is probably a 4-5. It is a very trying process and a salon is your only choice for an even, natural look. Sometimes though, dark hair absolutely cannot be lifted and if it is, there will be severe damage.

AHHHHH!!! DO NOT BLEACH YOUR HAIR!!! It will make it feel icky and dry and your hair will never ever ever be the same color again. If you're just looking for something different you can try the wash-out color, but unfortunately wash-out color isn't much like permanent. Wash-out color just covers up the color of your hair, so it can not be lighter than your natural shade, while permanent color actually changes the real color of your hair. You should definitely check out some salons because they will know best.

i in basic terms learn all of that, and all i visit declare is, in the experience that your sister had dyed her hair back interior the 1st place you the two might have not been arrested or maybe with the fact that have offender information. particular, Blue isn't a organic and organic hair shade and is against maximum college gown codes. purple is a organic and organic hair shade, the colour tone and brightness is stiplulated by way of the college, i'm stunned they even enable diffrent hair colours. have you ever by no potential watched the television prepare regulation enforcement officers? what happens as quickly as you get as much as and lash out with the police?
