OK so I need help with my hair, if you could help me as politely as possible??
problem:I dyed my hair black and purple but the black and purple washed out mostly on one side, I don't have any black dye so now my only option is violet red from matrix...can someone please explain to me how I can dye my hair the matrix red without having too much blotch from the previous black??

here's some info you might want to know: bleached my hair and dyed it medium copper brown from matrix (done professionally) cut into layers this year..

I use a cheap drugstore brand pencil on my eyebrows but I use Anastasia eyebrow brush to shape and blend it.

And you want it red? For that you would have to bleach it, if not it will dye to a redish brown and then the red will slowly fade.

I don't mind it being a brown red, anything than what it looks like now, its purple black and brown lol I was just wondering if it would look OK afterwards??

It would but, the blonde is coming back in the black hair, so if you do that there will be red patches since you have lighter hair the red will catch the blonder hair better since it's lighter. I hate to say this but there would have to be bleaching for it to get the red in your hair.

I don't think it would look bad since you have the lighter hair at the bottom.

Nooooo lol what if I used 30 volume developer on the dark and 20 on the light??

Mercedes B.

That's what I'm hoping it will look like, dark on top and light on bottom, I just needed some clarity lol so what should I do? 20 volume all over??

Mar 28, 2014

20 volume and bleach.
