Help with faded red highlights?

Question

i got red highlights and now there faded to like a rusty orange

i want to redye them red can i just get manic panic and put it all over my hair becuase my natural hair is black

Answer 1

You can't just put manic panic over black hair. Just put it where the red was before. If you wanted your whole head red, you would have to bleach, which I don't recommend.

Answer 2

yep, that will work, ur black hair wont change colour, but will have a red glow intthe sun

Answer 3

What bborR said.  

Also Manic Panic fades pretty quickly but most unnatural dyes do with the exception of Special Effects hair colours.

One thing you have to know about red dye, permanent or not IT FADES FAST!  No matter what.  Red is a really hard colour to keep in your hair.  If you want it to stay longer, try to wash your hair only once every 2-3 days and wash it in the coldest water you can stand.  Cold water closes the follicles to hair so it keeps the dye in whereas hot/warm water opens them up and lets the hair dye out.  So wash it less and in the coldest water possible.  Good luck!
