dyeing hair HELP Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Hair Color Forum Description: The tricks and tribulations of changing your hair color URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19374 Printed Date: August 03 2025 at 9:34pm Topic: dyeing hair HELP Posted By: MaryJaneK Subject: dyeing hair HELP Date Posted: March 01 2005 at 7:04pm 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 Replies: Posted By: Unregistered Guest Date Posted: March 01 2005 at 8:25pm Bleach the ends first before you do the black. In order to get ANY pink shade to show up your hair needs to be as light as humanly possible. After you bleach/dye the ends..foil them up (ya sounds wierd but speaking from expierence) then do the black, black is REALLY difficult to bleach out so that's why you want to do the tips first. Posted By: Innamorata594 Date Posted: March 02 2005 at 4:46pm 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. ------------- Sara Posted By: Unregistered Guest Date Posted: March 02 2005 at 6:43pm InnamorataItaliana wrote: Yes-the only way to get your ends pink is by bleaching first.
