Temporary Hair Dye?

If your hair is naturally black, will using a bright colored dye work? Or any dye for that matter? I want to dye my hair either red or blue, but I'm not sure if it will even show up.

Temporary Hair Dye?

You have to bleach your hair first - only bleach the parts you want to be dyed a bright color.

If you bleach your hair, it'll probably turn out orange since you have black hair. So you could go get it professionally done (buy the red/blue dye first and bring it with you, Hot Topic has good quality dye) or you could try "White Out" bleach which might be carried at Hot Topic.

Best of luck! I had blue tips and bangs a few months ago and I loved them :)

red, you will need a pretty bright red, and still yet it's not giong to be perfectly red but it will have a really nice tint. blue would not work. but if u watned blue highlights bleach them first then put the blue on.

in order to allow those pigments to show up in black hair, we strip those areas with bleach, and then use the color as a stain, you may need to re-apply the bleach another time to fully strip the black out to the shade of:( the inside of a banana peel). Then foil in the desired pigment mixture.

Good Luck

Temporary Hair Dye?

If your hair is naturally black then it will be really hard to make your hair color turn into a color that you want. The best way to see results when you dye your hair is bleaching it(which will make your hair lighter or blonde). If you just want to use bleaching hair dye that you get from the stores then go ahead but you will have to buy a lot of them because your hair is black. My hair was just a darkish brown color, length that is 4-6 inches until it reaches my waist, and I had to buy 3-4 boxes just to make it blonde enough so that the color I wanted will show. Other than that, you can go to the salon and they can do all of that for you. If you just want it to be a little lighter than black then just try 2-3 bottles/boxes first. Hopefully everything turns out right though. Take care and good luck.
