I dyed my hair black. I really want a dark/chocolate brown. I dyed my hair about 4 months ago and my roots are dark brown. there's random brown streaks in my hair too... Will i be able to.. dye my hair a dark brown or will the black over power still?
The black has faded, it's not so harsh .. like halloween wigs, you know? Sometimes it looks like dark brown.
It's just I'm trying so hard to avoid bleach because i'm growing out my hair and I know that it fries the hell out of it... i'm finding that black hair does not flatter me.. :/ i really just want something to go well with my skin.
help? i can't go to a salon, i'm really poor. they charge a lot over here.. i can only afford to buy a box of dye.

It will turn your hair a NASTY orange color and you DO NOT want that, and you're right it will fry the hell out of it majorly. The best dye to use is Garnier. It's a BIT more expensive than other hair dyes, but it's AMAZING. I dyed my hair blue black but I wanted it to be an auburn color so I used the Garnier dye and it went on even and there was no trace of black in my hair! You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells hair dye.
Here's a link to what it looks like. Be sure to get the Garnier dyes in the red and white box, they are your best shot at covering the black.
