I have naturally black hair and just want a red tint, so perhaps when light shines on it can be seen red. I dont fancy bleaching my hair as ive done that before and it's just wrecked my hair.How can I get a subtle red tint to black hair?
Low lights should give you the effect you're after....................How can I get a subtle red tint to black hair?
Find a punk/goth shop and buy a vibrant red semi-permanent hair colour, my favourite is called Special Effects. It's conditioner based so it won't hurt your hair. Don't bleach it.
Wear lated gloves (like the kind you find in hair dye boxes) and put a dime-sized spot of red hair dye in a plastic bowl that you don't care about staining. Add some cream conditioner until it's going to be enough dye to get through all your hair, you think, and mix it well.
Use a tint brush and brush it onto your hair. You wanna use old clothes and a towel and wipe it off of any surface that it drips onto IMMEDIATELY. These dyes are permanent on surfaces.
Once it's all through your hair, let it sit for as long as you like (it won't damage your hair since it's conditioner based and doesn't use any blecahing. You can even do it overnight and your hair will feel fine) but for at least half an hour.
Wash it out, style as usual, and take a look. Does it look red enough? This should give you a very mild red tint. If you wanted more red, do it again with more red.
Good luck. :)
i've just done this :)
i used the ';red-black'; colour by Schwarzkopf Live Hair XXL or something like that, it turned out really good because it works on dark hair. it's in like, a blue box if that helps haha.
Dye it ';red black';, when the sun catches it, it shines red.
Mix about 1/4th auburn hair dye with black hair dye and then dye your hair.
