dyeing hair HELP

Yes-the only way to get your ends pink is by bleaching first. But dying your hair black AFTER doing your ends is going to be extremely tricky for you to do yourself. it would be hard for even a stylist to do. Im assuming that your hair is probably only a level or two lighter then the level 1 black since its faded, so its not going to be much harder to bleach whether its your current color or black. I would suggest you dye it your desired color first and then proceed with bleaching it. Bleachiing NATURALLY black hair is a little difficult, but bleaching COLORED black hair isn't as hard as it may seem.

I want to color the ends of my hair pink or bright red but my hair is black. I also need to re-dye my whole head black as it washed out or something but it looks brown now, so first of all do you think I should die my whole head black and then red/pink or should I dye the ends/underneath red/pink first and then the rest black? I am afriad that the pink/red might not color over the black, will it? Thanks
