I want to get a deep wine-reddish color. But I have black hair. Can I get that effect? If so which color?

Having color show up on black hair is never a guarantee. If you used a color like Ruby Red or Candy Apple you will most likey end up with a shine of dark red in any natural highlights of your hair.

I am not sure if you will be able to achieve the color you want without bleaching. I've always bleach before color, but then again I go for really bright colors. The deepest wine color I know of Special Effects is Burgundy Wine, pull up Special Effects color swatches on Google and then research the colors you like and you will find some good pictures of what the color looks like on other peoples hair. I've read of some people doing color without bleaching and they usually get the color they want but the color washes out rather quickly. Hope this help! =]

Angelina is correct. If you use a chemical color darker than your hair color (like black), it should be okay. But you can't lighten your hair. It will turn into green, and won't get the color! (One of my friends did it).

In my previous response, I mentioned NA@2. If you want to achieve a black shade with only one product then use NA@2 on dark brown to black hair.You can use NA@2 on blonde hair and still get black, but once it fades you will end up with blue-green hair until it fully comes out.BUT if you want a black hair color that fades nicely, then mix NA@2 with RR@all or any other Elumen shade that is red.

I think it depends on your original hair color. It's comes out darker if your hair color is black like mine.

My hair color was almost dark brown (between dark blonde and dark brown), and I've been using for 5 months and I'm almost blonde now.. Sometimes it looks a little bit like red, but depends on the light. It will work, but I'm a little concerned about what color would turn, since the product says that dark hair will turn a little bit red and not blonde.

I used this product to put a pretty reddish auburn color in my hair. My hair is very dark brown, and I think it looks nice with the red in it.

burgundy! the deep red doesn't deposit fully and deeply until about three applications. Looks orange at first. The burgundy deposits crimson at first and deepens into a richer color with lots of natural highlights throughout on my prematurely graying hair.

Yes! I have almost black hair, with gray salt-and-pepper, and it shows up very well as long as the bottle is fresh and full. I know the bottle is getting empty when it gets less vivid on my hair.

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

Thanks for contacting us. Sorry to say but you will not get bright red on your dark color hair. Henna is chemical free hair dye which you can only go from lightTo darker color. By using this you will achieve red tints on your dark hair. Thank you and hope we have answered your question.

Unfortunately, it does not show as a color on black hair, but if you have highlights, it will. It does, however give ALL hair color a lustrous sheen, including black hair. There used to be a 'clear' version, suitable for dark hair, not sure if it still available. The colored ones, especially the red tends to come off on your clothes, so be careful, and do not wear white after applying, maybe after the first washing it will stop coming off, and will run in a pool too, before the first washing.

My hair is somewhere between medium and dark brown and I got the R6. You're probably safer with ebony or midnight brown. If you google the bangs you can find some better pictures of the colors, that helped me a lot to pick the color for me.

What is your natural hair color? Also, did you mix up the deep red color and use it immediately or wait for the henna to "develop" first? If you have lighter hair, you will probably need to keep re-dying your hair to get it darker regardless of what color you use because my blonde ends have taken on a copper hue in the week after using the burgundy color, but the rest of my hair has a more purple hue. Also, with the Deep Red and Burgundy colors, you are supposed to apply it immediately after mixing, so if you waited,that may also have had an effect.

I don't know if they make black. I am a brunette, and I use AB@6. This is ash, but with some wine hints.
