I have coloured my hair platinum blonde, blue, dark blue and now black.
Im happy with the black but i would like to dye the underneith platinum blonde so that i can dye it blue underneith (semi permement blue, which doesnt harm hair).

Will my hair just fall out or go coppery :(
if i dye it and it goes coppery, then wait a week, and dye it again and so on, will it eventually go blonde?

Is there anyway i can do this at home, i cannot afford a salon.
I have already bought 2 packs of platinum blonde hair dye, LIVE Schwartzkopf, it contains bleach.

help please!

i dont know, kittyfoster, your plans sound like a recipe for disaster and you could jeopardize your hair's ability to recuperate after all of that dying and re-dying. A woman's hair should be an extension of her personality and wellbeing and it cant look like that if it is frizzed out and to be quite honest, falling out. Over what period did you do all this dying by the way ?

Color wont lift color. Another words the blonde color that you bought wont do anything at all to the black. Aside from red, black is the hardest color to get out. You have to strip it/bleach it. Going that light will have to happen in stages and I would seriously not do it alone . Your hair could even break off!! And then you'd have what we call " chemical texturizing" lol Goood luck!

Colouring your hair blue can be extremely damaging. Because you need to bleach your hair till it is pure white (the lightest it can ever get), not blonde. Applying blue on top of blonde will give you a green result. Yellow + Blue = GREEN. Plus, it can also be a bit difficult to lift out black hair colour. So you might need to do it several times which is very harsh on the hair.

You say you have coloured your hair several times. Your hair could be quite damaged already from this. You need to make sure your hair is in a more stable, healthy condition if you want to colour it blue. Your hair could break off if it is not in good condition. Condition your hair, have weekly deep conditioning/hot oil treatments to help it recover.

Hey, I did exactly this :) You should dye it and then wait about a month or so until dying it over again, the first time you use the blonde, your hair will go copper, but the second time it goes a kind of.. troll orange, fairly bright. But if you buy Schwartzkopf Smart colour- Electric blue after the blondeing, it appears the right colour. this is what I did, although I must warn you, the colour doesn't last very long at all.. But good luck with that :) The blonde will definitely affect the black though, and your hair does dry out a little.. but if you treat your hair nicely, it'll slowly become more healthy.. Just make sure to buy shampoo for dry/ damaged hair. Good luck x
