I dye my hair ALL the time! (and to Evan, she is not fake, she is just experimental and likes to try new things like me!!) Anyways...you have to make sure that you work the color into the ends, just as well as the roots. Going lighter is always harder to do at home, rather than a salon. I would try it maybe one or two more times and if it still doesn't work, go to a salon. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) That is a good site to go to. I use that hair color most of the time. It should give you some good tips and good ideas for haircolor. If you don't want to go to a salon, have one of your friends help you out. They can reach those hard to get places and hopefully get your whole head covered! Have fun!

your not doing anything wrong! Your hair is simply too dark and the store bought stuff isn't strong enough for you, or the particle brand you bought isn't strong enough. I recommend having it done by a pro or askingfor their advice on what the best storebought brand is for you hair.

You aren't doing anything wrong except maybe you didn't leave it in long enough.... or it could be the coloring product you bought. Usually the more expensive ones work better but some cheaps ones work too. Get a coloring kit that is fit for the color you have now and the texture. :o)

If you color your hair black... you can't color over it... im not sure why... all i know is it's not going to work... the reason why ur roots are tryin out brown is because that is your new growth... If you really want to color your hair brown you can do two things... either use hair color remover to remove the black out of your hair before you color it brown or bleach it before you color it brown... i would suggest hair color remover because bleach is going to dry out your hair... so just go to Sally's Beauty supply and ask one of the employee's for help... they will tell you what's best for your hair

go to a salon or all you will do is burn your hair.

Your hair is probablly too dark. You have to bleach it first so when you dye your hair the color iwll turn out okay. If you dont want to cleach it try adding highlights first so your hair gets used to it. X0`

At first why not trying adding a few highlights to your hair and once your hair gets used to it keep adding more until you have a full head. And that should work. if not go to there hair dressers and as for there advice.

you need to bleach it first, then dye it whatever color you desire.

Your hair might be too dark for the color you picked. Sometimes hair needs to be bleached before it's actually changed to a lighter color.

that never happened to me just go to the salon they can do it. it probably cost just 5 dollars extra from buying the product from the store.

Did you make sure that you bleached it? With your hair so dark, if you want to dye it any colour thats lighter then your going to have to bleach it. Go to the drugmart and find some colouring that comes with a bleaching kit.
