Should I dye my hair black?

Ok, so I have like a dirty blonde hair.

I really want to dye it black, its usually curly but I straighten it every day. Yeah I'm stupid but whatever. I think if I died it black and I ever didn't straighten it, it would look really funny. I mean I have...

blonde eyebrows and everything and with black hair. Good or bad ha, would it look fine?

So yeah, should I dye it still even with it being curly sometimes or maybe I could chemically straighten it? and should I go to professional, or I was thinking about just using Manic Panic!..?

I would go to a professional it would be a lot easier

Go to a wig store in the mall and mess around with some black wigs for a spell. See how you'd look. Think long and hard about going black because the only way to get it out once you put it on your head is to bleach it or strip it out. Very hard on your hair, could cause damage and breakage you don't want to deal with.

If you do it, go to a professional. It's worth the cost not to get it on your counters and floors and skin to have it applied correctly and evenly.

I dont reccomend it. black hair is very very hard to dye over, almost imposibble. I you dye it black when its blonde- it will be amazingly expensive to get it back to blonde. also, your eyebrows will clash. but try a wig to see how it would look- and if it looks good and you know you wont want your blonde hair back, then go for it

I just want to correct something here a bit. There is no such thing as "dyeing over" black. This is a common misconception about hair color. Once you go black and decide you want to go back to a lighter shade, the only thing possible to do is strip or bleach the black out, turning the hair lighter and lighter until you get to a shade close to what you want. Then you color it to even it out. It's not impossible and I have actually never had a client (or myself) have any "worst case scenarios" happen where we had to chop off the hair or it all turned to cotton candy or anything. The worst thing that actually happened was to my own hair when I colored it from brown to blonde to red to black and then stripped it and highlighted it all in the course of 4 months. That was asking too much of my hair and I suffered breakage. Which wasn't even that bad, I just had to cut off about 3 inches of hair. But, my hair is still long and it looks perfectly fine when I style it.

It's also not horribly expensive (in my opinion) to strip it. It costs about $150-180.00. A small price to pay for enjoying cool black hair when I want it. I wouldn't discourage it if you are curious. Just keep in mind the risks (dryness, breakage, having to cut of a couple or few inches). And, the shorter you can cut it before stripping, the better.

Life is short you know. Different cuts and colors are the spice of life. But go try on wigs for sure. Keep it on for a few minutes, really picture yourself as a black headed girl and see how you will feel. It is a committment in the sense that you don't want to just get dyed black and then have to run right in and have it stripped because you hate it.

And I always tell new blackies to give it a week until your shower water no longer is tinged brown to let the color settle to see how you like it. It's sooooo dark and odd looking at first, but after a flat iron and some showers, it settles into a nice rich color with lots of shine!

yea im wanting to do the same thing only mi hairs darker brown but I want to get either blonde or white highlights thoughout it as well im excited and im glad you posted this it helped a lot.. hope your hair turns out the way you want it to :-)

no you shouldnt die your hair black,because if you have blond eyebrowns do you know how stupid that would look?2 oppisite colours on your face and head?well thats my opinion im dying my hair black and I dont know if it would look good but I have dark eyebrows and eyes I think it wouldnt look too bad well...peace and good luck if you do
