Hair Colour
I am East India so my hair is very very dark. A few months ago, I streaked it copper. I want to try to temporarily change my hair colour (I'm partial to reds) but I'm not sure if it will show. I used a red Colourpulse last time but it tinted my -highlights- redder (just by a bit, though) and I want a more dramatic colour.
Usually, at the side of temporary colour boxes, there is a sample of before/after hair and the darkest shade sampled is "dark brown" which isn't really dark brown, it's more light brown if anything.
Is there a shade in Colourpulse, Colourflirt, or any other dye that washed out in 8-12 shampoos that I can use? Is there any technique that will make the shade deeper?

You'd have to bleach the sections of hair you want to dye first if you want the color to be really vibrant.
Go to a stylist to have that done though.

well, since you have very very dark hair, the only way to get a truly vibrant colour is to bleach your hair first, then apply the dye. however, the bleach is permanent, so i wouldnt reccomend trying this unless you go for a permanent dye. i am a redhead myself, and tried a pink dye on my hair. it came out pink, but not as vibrant as my friend courtney, who is blonde. all i can say is, dont dye your hair. i would die for hair colour like yours, and im sure a lot of other girls would too. and also, usually dyes like that contain peroxide, whick penetrates the hair shaft, causing it to stay in for longer than 8-12 washes. don't believe the box!!

they make a special line of colors for that.. i believe loreal has a brand just for dark hair that washes out in like 14 shamppos. the best place to check is a supermarket that carries alot of hair dyes... like giant eagle

a way to get deeper colour that i use is to leave the dye in about 5-10 minutes longer than it says to, but no longer than that(it might damage your hair) so say the dye stays in for 30 minutes normally...try and leave it on for 35-40.
this works for me so it might work for you, it all varies from person to person.
good luck<3

ok, with hair thats really dark, the only way to get really dramatic color, is to bleach streaks and then color the blonde. but this is NOT easily done at home, possible but not easy, so if you really want dramatic highlights, hit a coloring solon and let them do it, and dont go to cheap with it,no student salons, you really do get what you pay for. it may not be what you had in mind, but a salons better equipped to give you what your looking for. good luck!
