If i have black hair and i put a straberry hair dye to it what would happen to my hair?

Question

i want to lighten my hair but got no money would a box color do?

Answer 1

It won't do anything.  

Answer 2

if you get a box of hair dye thats for dark hair only it should work really well i went from black to light golden brown easily with that type of hair dye :)

Answer 3

no. i'm asian and when i do that, my hair only has a slight visible change while in natural sunlight. the only way to lighten would be to use bleach or something else. try adding lemon to your shampoo and sitting in the sun. the heat and acid can lighten it a shade or two

Answer 4

In my experience, the most it will do is a) if your roots are grown out, it will make your roots bright and b) if you have any spots where the black didn't take well, it will strip it a little. Basically, you'll be getting a blotchy mess.

Answer 5

i did that. my roots only got lighter. dont do it!

Answer 6

Nothing really. Black hair is hard to dye it a different color.

Answer 7

it might work... it might not... it depends on the brand... strawberry dye going onto black hair may turn ur hair into an ugly color. so if u use a box u might make ur hair look really bad then u might have to go get it professionally done, so i just say get it professionally done in the first place
