QuoteReplyTopic: Coloring black indian hair Posted: July 09 2005 at 3:21am
Is there any threads on this? I searched but cant find much. My friend just got some indianhairs and wants to get hers about the same as my RK #2 ..somewhere like a #4 or # 6--dark brown or a dark auburn brown. Does she have to bleach to get there? I guess she tried using Feria extra lift for browns but it didnt do a thing. Her hair is curly so what would be the best way to make the hair brown without doing too much damage. Curly hair seems to be easier to damage with color than straight..at least thats been m experience.
It's here: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31986 &PN=1, but you might want to brush up on your searching skills . I typed "coloring indian" into the search engine and got one of finafina's post's as my first response, which then links to the above post. Good luck with your hair :)
No biggie. Don't be scared by the blonde - you're just more likely to get a response if your keep your questions in topic. (even if you're only lighening a little) Thats the only reason I directed you there. Good luck with it :)

Always remember you cant remove color with color... i would try a strand test and do a soap cap with like 10dev and bleach for about 5 to 10 min.. the soap cap will lighten it then go back and deposit your color.. make sure u do a strand test first

Fina, I've heard "soap cap" or bleach cap described 2 ways - mixing up a batch of bleach and replacing the developer with shampoo, or mixing up a normal batch of bleach (low peroxide vol.) and adding shampoo to it to cut the concentration. You're supposed to keep it moving on the hair - like shampooing. It's used a lot for minor color corrections like Color Fix. Or to lift the cuticle a bit on color resistant virgin hair before a deposit only color. I think it's discussed more on the hair dye board.

sansconformist has the correct idea.. Use a very good bleach.. I use paul mitchell.. But anyway.. mix 1 scoop of bleach with 1/2 oz 10 vol developer..and 1/2 oz of paul mitchell shampoo i would use the shampoo 1 from paul mitch.. but if you cant find that then use what ever.. shampoo it in the hair for up to 10 min it shouldnt take that long for you to see a color change.. let us no what happened...
