I have been trying to get my desired shade of black, but have thus far been unsuccessful.
I use demi-permanent color from Sally's.
I'm trying achieve a Charcoal black. With no blue, purple, or red undertones.
I have tried just plain "black" but it comes out blue-black.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm....I'm not very experienced with black. Maybe the further explanation of the color wheel on the bottom if this page may help you counteract the 'blue-black'. http://styles101.homestead.com/haircolor2.html - http://styles101.homestead.com/haircolor2.html -------------
