How can I dye my blond hair black?

Question

I have a sort of dirty blond hair color and for Halloween, I need it to be dyed black. I am not afraid of having it black for a while, but I still want it to come out eventually. I know blond hair is especially difficult to deal with, so it is up to you to help me find the right way.

Answer 1

go to a professional hair salon and ask them if you can get the wash out kind if it might work or try dying it and then redying it your color untill it comes out

Answer 2

Best bet is wig,

black glitter spray.

or temporary color spray for Halloween (but it can rub off).

Beyond that, go to a hair dresser..beauty schools are cheap.

Someone that used "roux" product......had grey color hair for a long time..\

Very risky..

clairol etc have 800 numbers.

call them. during daytime/evening hours.

You can use professional products with wash out colors...(temporary rinse, semi-permanent)

That is what I would do.

Sally Beauty Supply is all over and sells to anyone.

Oh yeah..and put some vasoline all around your hairline, (on ears), etc.. to avoid color and use good gloves..

When to Go to a Salon

Home hair color is best used for subtle changes. Radical change and dramatic effects are best left to the professionals.

Alternatively, if you use a permanent color and don’t like the results, make an appointment. Applying one permanent color on top of another is not a game for amateurs. If you try to do this yourself, you risk permanent damage to you hair.

Please DONT apply black straight onto blonde - it will turn green!!! The reason behind this is blonde hair lacks red pigmentation, thus, if you put a dark colour over this t will turn khake, and the only way to get rid of this will be to do a bleac bath.

Use a red filler 1st then apply the dark. Dont go blonde - black

This is just info.. basics..

The Chemical Options

Temporary: This is just what it professes to be, temporary. It will wash out after a few shampoos. It’s also the gentlest of the chemical coloring products. I have sensitive skin and I use it without hesitation. Nevertheless, if you’ve never colored before, do the patch test. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Temporary color is also an excellent choice if you want to try a new shade without committing to it.

Semi-permanent: The pigment doesn’t actually chemically interact with your hair’s natural color but only enters the cuticle. Because it fades gradually, over 6-12 shampoos, you don’t get noticeable “roots”. This type of hair color contains no ammonia or peroxide and so cannot lighten your hair.

Demi-permanent: This lasts roughly twice as long as semi-permanent hair color. Because it contains a small amount of peroxide, you can achieve greater color enhancement with it. There is no ammonia in it so it cannot give you a lighter color.

Permanent: This too is just what it says it is, permanent. It will not wear or wash off. This is good if you’ve chosen the correct shade, bad if you haven’t. Because permanent color contains both ammonia and peroxide, it tends to be harder on your hair and scalp. That said, all permanent color products are not created equal. Surprisingly, the products sold for use by professionals (at the beauty supply) are usually gentler than the kits marketed for home use that you find on your grocer’s shelf. The people who work in the beauty supply will also be able to give you lots of tips that the cashier at your local Publix will not. You will get telltale “roots” as your hair grows with this type of color.

Permanent color penetrates the innermost layers of your hair and does not wash out, hence being called "permanent hair color".

Think of your hair like a pencil... the paint on the outside of that pencil is the outermost layer of your hair, under that is a layer of wood (the middle of your hair), and in the center of the pencil is lead (the core of your hair). When you color your hair with permanent color, it is absorbed into all three layers of your hair so it does not "wash out". The color absorbed in the outer layers (the paint on the pencil and the wood) will wash out over time causing the color to fade.

To get rid of bad color...

Before washing your hair a dozen times, seek advice from a licensed salon professional. Overwashing your hair will just make it dry by stripping the natural moisture of your hair, not remove the color.

If a salon pro is too pricey, look for a Sally Beauty Supply store. They sell a simple color remover kit for around $13, in a smaller white & blue box. It has two small bottles in the kit and complete directions. DO NOT USE ANY COLOR REMOVER WITH PEROXIDE OR BLEACH! These are processes that must be done by a professional or you may damage your hair severely or cause hair loss.

Additionally, color will not remove another color. If it is not too dark, you may put a darker color over it. Putting a lighter color over it will not lighten the existing artificial color in your hair. This is a case where you truly need a professional. Trying to remove a color on your can result in orange or green hair... and you may end up paying much more to have that fixed!

There are some commercial products to remove dye from hair, and a few home potions and processes.

Color Fix by Jheri Redding is designed to remove unwanted permant hair color, and controlled usage allows color correction to specific areas, either full or slight color corrections.

Loreal Color Zap gently washes away all permanent haircolor. Ideal for color correction, removal of dark shades, muddy, uneven results or color build up. Leaves hair ready for immediate re-coloring. Loreal Effasol Color Remover washes away permanent haircolor, leaving hair ready for recoloring. Can be used with water or developer.

Jerome Rusell's Punky Color Punk Off is an easy to use gel that will cleanse your skin from hair dye stains.

Roux Clean Touch is a gentle formula that removes haircolor from skin and scalp. Removes excess color from hair ends and assists in removing stains from clothing.

Home remedies include this one:

Hot Oil treatments, hairspray, shampooing and exposure to water will gradually fade hair dye.

To remove the last bit of residue or stain on the hair (or to get color out immediately) make up a small batch of bleach mixture and add it to 2 tablespoons or so of shampoo in a cup. Stir it up.

Shampoo your hair with this mixture, "kneading" the hair. Start at the roots and work your way down to the end, and then back up.

You should see the color disappear right before your eyes.

Black hair dye is a special case.

It's very hard to remove black hair dye from your hair completely, especially if it's permanent. Better to let it grow out and not bleach it. Bleaching with chemicals damages the hair it may make it so stretchy and thin that it comes out in your comb.

Likewise if black hair dye stains skin or fabric. The best way is to prevent it from staining in the first place by applying Vaseline around the hairline before dyeing.

If black hair dye stains fabric then using detergent and water quickly is a good idea - otherwise dry cleaning may be required.

Black hair dye stains can also be removed by rubbing cigarette ash over the stained skin, dipping milk in cotton balls and rubbing over the stained area, rubbing on WD-40 or even nail polish remover or hair spray.
