Hey, first time doing something to my hair (I normally get out of the shower, dry it, and leave it shaggy) and I need some advice.
First off, I have redish/copperish hair, 'bout an inch long, and I want to dye it jet black, and spike it.
For bleaching it first, how should I put the bleach on? Just stick my head in a Bucket of it?
Second, what company makes the darkest black hair dye?
Third, I plan on washing my hair daily (dirty hair is Gross), how often will I have to re-apply the dye? About every 3 weeks, or when it begins to fade?
I also want my spikes to last throught the day, but wash them out in the shower (and Shampoo). what kind of hold would I use for this?
and when I go to bed, do I just leave the spikes in it, or wash it out before bed, and shower in the morning?
And finally, how do I form the spikes? just comb it back, or do I kinda have to bunch it together and wax it or somthin?
Sorry for knowing nothing about this topic, but hey, gotta start somewhere.

If you're dyeing it black, you won't have to bleach it first. A good black should cover up any trace of the red. I haven't dyed my hair black since I was a teen-ager, but I have been admiring the swatches for some nice blue-blacks, especially the ones in the Garnier lines. If you just want a very inky black. . . well, I haven't tried their black, but another shade of Herbal Essence I tried gave a very intense result for me. Unfortunately, the shade I tried gave too intense a result and I had to correct it. But if your philosophy is, the blacker the better, it might be just what you need.
