| Okay, see I always had light brown hair color and it was killing me-not dark and not light, not city and not town, you know? So I decided to take some action-dye it blonde. Naive me...I actually though I''ll get the actual color that''s ON the box...Instead I got orangy red hair. This is when the story gets good (well, kinda anyway...)of course I didn''t expect such results and dyed it to dark brown a month later. But see, the thing is-no matter how hard I try,no matter how dark or light the dye is, I can''t get rid of that red color. After washing my hair once of twice-it''s that same orangy red hair. My friend once told me to dye it black...but I''m afraid I''ll fade again. I don''t get it. I''m using a pretty good/expensive dye-Faria L''oreal, so what''s wrong? |

You have taken the color molecules partially out of the hair. If you want to cover them, use a light brown, NOT BLACK. Its best if you let a pro take care of this for you.  ------------- I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience.

So, what'll happen if I dye it black? I REALLY want to dye it dark, not light...and If I go to a salon, it'll cost me at least 35 bucks every month....... ------------- |

It will be very black......bleh!!! Black hair seems to take all the color out of anyones face and ages you alot. (unless you are orient decent or Indian) Good Luck!!! ------------- I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience.
