I bought the dye but am not too sure if it's too light for me, do I need to bleach it before dying?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

if you want the colour to come out very vibrant then you should bleach it . the problem is that bleaching is so so damaging to your hair . i had a friend from philipines with the thickest hair EVER and it ruined hers and she had to get it cut so short coz of it.

and black hair is lovely m its not found that naturally anymore. you should keep it !  

Answer 2

Yes, you should dye it cause its really dark. My friend tried to go from black to brown and somehow ended up with orange hair! So bleach it, haha.

Help me?

you should have it bleached first if you want it to have that effect because black is dark. but make sure you go to a legitimate parlor/hairdresser to have it done. i had this done. i have black hair & i wanted to go for light brown but the hairdresser didnt apply the bleach evenly throughout my hair & she didnt wait for the bleach to take full effect since she said it'll be too hard to chase it if it's already blonde but with the color i chose, i would much rather have blonde undertones than the copper/ brassy red i had. so i colored my hair back to black again but since my hair contained too much peroxide already from the bleach, i had to cut most of it off & i had to pay even more for treatments to give it back it's life. so if i were you, id think about it first. trust me, i know.

Welll I am not sure about bleaching your hair but the dye may not work cause your hair is black
