I dyed my hair around 10pm tonight (it's 2:45am now).  I used Feria highlighting Chestnut Blonde.  I am usually dark brown/almost black haired.  What resulted is only copper color on my roots!  I have another black hair dye, the one i normally use, and I was wondering if it's safe to dye my hair again within 24 hours?  I really really want to, I just don't want to go bald!!!

thanks,

kt

I have dyed my hair twice in one day before, in emergency cases.  I think it's just not recommended because your natural scalp oils are supposed to help protect it from the harsh chemicals.  Unfortunately, it's after 4:30 a.m. and I can't write anything more intelligent than that :-P .  Maybe someone can help more.
More awesome than a manatee!

i wouldnt recommend it. it hink it would be safer to apply a black semi-prmanent/rinse to your hair. then after about 2 weeks, go back and do the permanent

And the reason your highlights didn't take on your length is that they are designed to work on virgin hair, not remove black dye.

If it's not too late, then you should probably wait at least 24 hours before you re-dye.  I've done that quite a few times and my hair looks pretty healthy.  Also, it's good to wait a week to see exactly what color your hair looks like after the dye has settled.

**Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine.
**Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown.
**Length: below shoulder length

At least you can laugh about it!  That's a good attitude to have.
