Nevermore Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well if its a bitch to get out or lingers as a background hue dying your hair black and it having a slight tinge of red would look awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yea last thing you want is your hair to look like it got caught in the toaster. I personally have no experience with dying my hair (parents are in the military, soooo strict) but in an attempt to get it dyed i did alot of studying on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 My moms excuse for me not getting my hair dyed is that I "might have an allergic reaction to the chemicals and my hair will fall out" but yet she gets her hair dyed all the time. Hypocrite much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrite much? Wow, that must suck alot. One time I told my mom that it was either me getting my hair dyed or me getting a tattoo. Obviously im too young to get a tattoo but the idea freaked my mom out so she eventually let me get my hair dyed. And I get washout dye at Walgreens but its the Splat brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankor Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 use henna. It doesn't smell like ass and doesn't kill your hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky-Potato Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Red hair is difficult to remove, I suggest using an artificial colour stripper like this one HERE. Ive used it before and it's pretty good at getting dye out of your hair without frying it. If you're not interested in that, *don't* dye your hair black, as most black dyes are red based anyway and are even harder to remove than plain red. I suggest dying over the red with blue colours until the red pigment has been replaced, or if you're really set on black then dye it a blue shade of black.

Silky-Potato Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Any shade of blue really, you're trying to neutralise the red tones. It'll go purple first (it should do, maybe auburn) and then slowly bluer.Manic Panic is supposed to be good, the other two I use are only available in the UK I'm afraid.The first four blue ones on this page would do (LINK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Bunny Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I say go with black hair dye or you can get a brand called color oops its suppose to strip all hair dye out and take it back to your natural hair color but if your hair is bleached then it will leave you with the bleached hair then after you can do what ever color you want c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
