my hair is dyed dark borwn almost black,i think i dyed it last just before xmas,but im taking the plunge and want to go red, xxl red passion,but was wondering if i will need to bleach my hair first as i dont think the red will cover the darness in my hair???anyone that has used this colour please let me know thanx :)
 
Hm, well it wouldn't be a bright red, and it would be a fair bit darker than whats on the box as your hair is already black. But I'm not saying that the colour wouldn't be nice. It would be pretty lovely I think, and not the same as everyone else who uses that dye. You could try using a colour stripper maybe, that will help to lighten your hair a lot, probably take you to a medium to dark brown, which will be easier to get the colour shown on the box.

Live XXL fades, and I know lots of people who haven't liked the colour it fades to, so be prepared to re dye it every few months if you want the colour to stay vibrant. (:
 
I love the color red, but I don't think u should color ur hair red. Well of course it is ur choice, but I was just giving my opinion, cuz people r beautiful with their natural hair color, and I think dark brown is a very nice color! Any ways,

I think you should blech your hair to lift the color at least somewhat, or else the color will be very dull. How “light” depends on how “bright” you want the red color to be. You will also want to take into consideration the base color of your natural haircolor and watch for color tones that emerge as you lighten the color. This will affect the way you achieve your final color. If all things are agreeable as you finish lightening the color, you can simply add a red color to the bleached hair and get the color you are after.

I STRONGLY recommend that you opt for a professional to do the color for you and that you opt for a red color (which can be more readily camouflaged when you have fulfilled the obligation of the wager) as your choice of haircolor.
