I'm going to ask as simple as possible, haha. Basically I have to dye my hair black to cover some missed spots. I need to use a red tint though, because there are green tones in my hair currently.
Should I dye my hair black THEN add the red, or should I add the red now, THEN do the black? (It's already black.)
I've never had such a bad hair dye job and right now it's pretty terrible. There's spots missing and it's tinted green. I'm sure you can imagine, haha. Thanks a lot for your time!
Personally, I would first add the black hair dye. Leave it in for a decent amount of time as they suggest on the box.
Next, you can use red dye products out there. You can do it immediately after dyeing your hair black but, be very careful b/c too much ammonia can damage hair horribly.
I can assume you want a dark auburn look? Since it's a mixture of black and red. They have dark auburn dye out there if that's what you are looking for.
Professionally, prices vary. It's not a fixed price of 30 dollars; people have different prices. They'll do it all for you without extensively damaging hair like at home.
I offered both suggestions since I don't know your preference of doing it at home or at a salon.
