Why color it again? I assume since you are writing from Malaysia that you are a beautiful Asian woman with dark hair.
Wear your hair it's natural color.
Asian ladies look very good as brunettes.

I agree with Brent and I think that it
could seriously damage your hair if
you dye it again. And everyone has
their own tastes, but I think that
Asians dyeing their hair don't do
justice to its appearance. It just
looks so phoney.

The fact dyeing and using other chemicals on the hair will damage it, I agree with. The more you dye it, the worse condition it'll get into. If your hair is short, dyeing it often won't affect it as much, because the damaged parts get cut off more frequently, but if it's long you have to be extra-careful. Long hair can get really fried and frizzy if you put chemicals on it too much, and putting treatments on it will only make it look less damaged temporarily. The reality is, if it's long and you use chemicals on it a lot, it'll just get really messed up and there's nothing that can really repair it, just you'll have to cut the damaged parts off.
As to whether Asian hair looks good dyed or not, it really depends on the person. I've seen plenty of Asians who look gorgeous in red, brown, or even blonde hair. But there are also some who look really strange in it, too. *shrugs* As long as you try on wigs first to see which category you fall in, it's not really a big problem, though.

Unless the color lookes really bad, try to leave it alone for at least 2 months - condition it constantly (apply alittle emu oil at night to the ends) - snip the ends 1/4" inch if needed. . . .

I think drying your hair is okay, but if you've dyed your hair over processed (chemically damaged by perms, color, bleach, etc.) hair, you are going to increase the chances of breakage and your hair will REALLY suffer.

I dye my own hair, but I only color the roots, I don't color over hair that's been colored already. I also try to look for colorants that are more gentle on the hair and use a temporary color in between permanent color touch-up's to make sure I'm not over processing my hair.

I would highly recommend (as many of the others here have said) that you don't dye your hair again until it's grown out. I know for myself, I have to be REALLY careful about what products I use on my hair, and never double process it.
