I dyed my hair

Arghh i've been dying my hair for years and never had any problems. Then today i decided to try a new colour, Schwarzkopf Live Unlimited Gloss in Midnight Red, thinking it'd be a nice dark browny red.

So i put the dye on, then washed it off after 30 mins, dried my hair off, looked in the mirror and what is looking back at me.............

Black hair! Argghh i used to dye my hair black and have been growing it out over the last 3 years(slow progress!) so now it seems i'm back to square one! I'm hoping after a few days it will fade because at the moment i see no red at all! This is me a few years ago with black hair as i still can't get photos onto my laptop.

  1. Oh what a shame..it does look nice black though in that photo. I have always wanted red hair SO much...it would look awful on me though! xxx

  2. Buy some Vosene, or head and shoulders. These lightly strip colour out of hair and should spped up the fading process.

    But...I love almost black hair. I sport it myself and love it. Just tan tan tan and you'll be grand ;) xx

  3. When I dyed my hair last time it went black. Vosene works really well at stripping the colour - smells gross but works! :D x

  8. The same thing just happened to me yesterday! Its so annoying! I used to have black hair and have used two colour strippers as well as bleach to get rid of the black--i then dyed it red but it was too uneven so i decided to go with this colour, for a brownish dark red...alas!! my hair is totally black now and i too am back to square 1!

    I wish i had read this first... im thinking i should have given the dye less processing time...
