How do I add color to my Black hair?

Last week i dyed my hair black and now i want to put in purple tips (not all over just in a few areas). The guy at the alon shop thing said to put bleach in it and then add the dye. But im pretty sure bleach will turn it orange wont it? Will the purple look funny if dyed from the orangey colour? And if i bleach and then put in the dye will the dye last or fade because its bleached and if it fades how do i stop it from happening? (Dye is permanent)How do I add color to my Black hair?
bleach it than color itHow do I add color to my Black hair?
you have to remove the color first and the only way to do this is with bleach.(color will not remove color) If you take it off too soon it could be orange, you want it to be lighter than that. So keep it on until you get it light enough. Apply the purple to the lightened ends. If it fades reapply the purple.
there are some dyes out there that have a prelightener built in, if you cant find one of those then i would leave bleaching then dying again and head for a hairdressers.

I also have dyed black hair and had turquiose put through here and there. It was done badly (by a friend) and looked like an old pis*y rag after a week, all yellowy and nicotine stained more than the bright turquoise i was wanting!
If you really want those highlights to show out,BLEACHED it first then put on the highlights thats why some of us are hairdressers.
If you put black permanent dye in your hair do not not try to change the color yourself. Go to a professional and tell them what you want to do. There's no telling what color that black will become. I hope the purple dye isn't permanent, but go to a professional to make this change. you will have to lighten the hair before you can add another color if you want the other color to really show and yes the purple will look strange if the base color is a weird color.
You have to leave the bleach in long enough so it goes past the orange stage. because its bringing ur hair from black (the lowest level) up to a level 10(the palest yellow). it has to go through the reds and oranges til it gets to blonde. it might not even go to blonde right away you mite have to do it 3 times. blacks so hard to get out. But make sure u dont leave the bleach in too long or your hair will fall out. I recommend going to a salon thats why we have them. As for the purple tips... even things that are permanent fade.
bleach doesn't make your hair orange, blonde dye makes hair orange. Now as for the purple tips, don't do it, its gay
highlights
I think when that guy might have ment for you to color the tips blonde, a lot of people say like whenever someone is going to color there hair blonde they say that they are going to bleach there hair. what you should have done was color your roots black and left the tips alone, then take the purple hair color and color them. But it's to late for that so you should put blonde hair color in a tray and take a rat tail comb *it's a comb with a long handle, the teeth are close together* and MAKE SURE THE RAT TAIL COMB IS PLASTIC!! if it were metal it would turn it orange for sure. then dip the plastic rat tail comb in the blonde hair color then comb it in the tips of your hair. Then wait for a day or two and put the purple in the same way you put in the blonde. Good Luck!



I hope that was helpful!
Lighten it or have it lightened with bleach and then dye over it
go to a hair salon...
you will have to bleach it first in order to get different colour because black is obviously the darkest colour you can possible go then you will have to take the colour out of the bits you wantto go purple because it is lighter it want show up very well on black.
you can use products like Fudge.

they're good. don't bleach it, specially if you've dyed your hair black it will stuff up big time.



no hair dresser would accept to bleach recently dyed black hair. trust me.



Price attack or Priceline would have this product.
They HAVE to bleach out the color, making it blonde NOT orange. the purtple will look cool. Quit being so worried and go for it. I did it and it looked absolutely awesome. Purple highlights on black hair.
