Go to sally's beauty supply, buy the blonde coloring but don't add any color to it. It will bring your hair out to white, then use manic panic vampire red. It will look really dark going on but will wash out to bright red. Be careful though, it is permanent.

i think you should go for a bit of red in your black itll look cool and also will take less time just have a bit put in the front of your hair and also lil highlights around it should look good but bleach the part of your hair that you are going to colour first then add the red

Red would not suit you. And to go that light you HAVE to go to a salon....to try at home would just burn it all to a crisp. Why not put some semi-perm red streaks in our something.

Bleach it light first, then color it with a mild over the counter tint. This sounds harsh, but anything else you do would be as harsh or harsher, especially at the salon.

I agree with sixmillionways. The only thing I'd like to add is that when you go to bleach your hair (hair bleach is peroxide), leave the bleach in for a long time. The longer you leave it in, the lighter your hair will be, which will result in your hair being a brigher red, after dying it.

for the sake of your hair, I REALLY recommend not doing this yourself. Call a salon and see if they offer a free consultation with an experienced colorist. They can best advise you on the right shades, and give you an approximate cost, so you can save your pennies.

With dark hair, you have to go light first in order to do anything with it. You're going to have to have it bleached. And even bleaching your hair won't make it go blond right away, you're going to get a nasty brassy color. Depending on the type of 'red' you want, whether it be more of a strawberry, ginger, deep auburn or just bright punk red, you'll have to go through what's called a color process. You might not have the money, but the best thing to do is save and go to a professional. Doing your hair yourself might cause dark blotches that you missed in the back of your head.

And sure, tanned skin looks good with red. When I met my husband, my hair was red! I'm a natural black/brunette though. :-D Just check out my avatar! I'm a red-head!

No, No, Please don't do that, you will look like a clown!! Conside a wig!! Then you'll see. If you bleach the hair you will damage it and never be able to get back to your original color

How can i get my natural black hair to bright red?

First you'll have to strip the colour out of your hair. Buy a product like L'Oreal's Perfect Blondissima - you can colour over it safely without damaging your hair. Follow the instructions on the box, but since you are going red, it won't be necessary to leave the solution on your hair until you are completely blond - just bring it down to orange. Afterwards, colour with your chosen red shade. make sure you don't shampoo for at least 24 hours before you do this - Blondissima is very irritating and the natural oils in your hair will help protect your scalp.

well, if you don't have the funds i'd hold off.

you'll need a high power bleach (go to sally's or something), dye, and loads of conditioner. ask for help at the store to be sure you get EVERYTHING you need. ....candy apple red looks hot on everyone. for real :)

Don't bleach your hair. You can achieve the color you are looking for, but you'll hate yourself for the damage it will do. I have black hair and bleached it about a year ago. Its just now starting to return to its normal softness. I had to deal with stiff brittle hair for way too long.

How can i get my natural black hair to bright red?

No I do not think it would suit you, I think natural black hair is beautiful because you do not see it often. Turning it red

may not suit your skin color. If you really want to know how

it would look go to a place where they sell hair pieces or

wigs and see if they will let you try on a red wig. Good Luck!

Do the same thing I did by accident. Bleach it and don't leave the bleach on long enough. It'll come red. LOL But you may want to tone it down with some red toner.

My mom had a problem similar to yours...I suggest taking your time..in other words...dont go from straight up black hair to a bright red..unless you want to make a HUGE statement...start by dying it dark red and work your way up...and you will know which red shades look good on you...

**~**Good Luck**~** ;)
