Is this good for dark curly hair? I wanna lighten first and then achieve a golden reddish blonde with another dye.

I do not know the answer to that question. I naturally have very light hair. I do know that some hairdye companies, possibly garnier and/or Loreal, make hair coloring specifically for transitioning from dark to light. If you research online, or go to a local CVS, you'll probably find them. I saw them at a CVS. Good luck!

This color will work very well on hair that is NOT grey. Now i'm using the blonde and it gives all of my hair a richer, shiner look. If you use this, I hope it works as well for you.

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

I have very dark brown hair (though it lightens in the summer) how do i get a rich dark shade of reddish brown hair? What should i add to it?

Yes. It works fine on my dyed-blonde fine hair if I use the "light" formula. Inexperienced sales people will say that the regular is the same but it is not according to the experts. In fact, the regular turned my hair darker with reddish highlights after several months. While it was a good color for fall my friends started telling me, unprompted, that they liked my old color better so I know it was not my imagination. If you have dark hair use the regular. Hope you try it and like it!

I used both And my hair looks great! Even though my natural color is blonde i have highlights And they stayed the same as when i colored it! Maybe you can try some hidratant creme!

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

Actually I have a dark brown hair so it's didn't effect on my hair but you can apply it just on the highlights by the brush this color is like a magic from yellow brassy to lightest ash tone I hope I helped you.

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).

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.

If you want the highlights to be very blonde, as well as the ombre coloring, then yes. This stuff works within minutes. I had long dark hair for years, and when I first decided I wanted a change, two years ago, I made the mistake of doing the box, thus nieve to doing so. If I would had been more educated, I definitely would had done this, period. I will warn you though. Be careful, because when you go from naturally dark color to blonde, it can cause breaking and drying damage. But, I am huge on coconut oil, and its many natural benefits. Although my hair had a lot of damage, due to my lack of knowledge, almost every night, now, I massage the oil into my scalp for 3-6 minutes, then apply some in the rest into my hair, brush it then put it into aa very tight braid (be sure to put towel over your pillow though) This not only assists in growing my hair, due to softening the hair shaft and roots, thus allowing it to shield it and promote gentle growth of the hair, but also really conditioning it well. If you use the coconut oil, do wash out the next day, and air dry. Your hair will result in shiny soft hair. As for a softer carmel like highlight, which sort of sounds like what you are looking at, I am not real sure what product is available to do so, but I can say from personal experience, dark hair with carmel like highlights is gourgeous. Hope this has been helpful :-)

I dye my hair a dark brown and I use chocolate. It should work well for you. By the way, I love this stuff!

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

This is going to give you pretty darn red hair. Like BRIGHT red. If you are looking for a hint of red I would try a different color or try to tone it down a lot by mixing half of a dark brown box with half of a red box. I'm not sure if the manufacturer would recommend that but if I was going to experiment on myself that is what I would do. If you Google Light Mountain Henna Red and look at the images you'll be able to see other people's outcomes, many look the same as my own color. I use this brand/shade every other month. I'll never stray!

No. This definitely would not lighten your hair. I do not feel it even helps with brassiness on my highlighted hair.

My hair is brunette with gold highlights and it brightened the highlights (made them less brassy and more visible). I would definitely think you could use this shampoo. If you have well water as I do right now, then the chemicals dull the highlights and make them brassy. I did notice more of a difference when I use the shampoo, conditioner, AND the treatment. It doesn't work as well without the treatment powder (but better than regular shampoo).

I don't think it works on dark hair without lightening it first. Usually light colors won't change dark hair. When I used it, I lightened my hair with color oops, meant for stripping out artificial hair color, and it worked well for me after that. Hope I helped in some way, that's just my experience!
