I've been dying my hair black for about... 6 months now after YEARS as a red head. Now I want to strip out some of the black, only on the underside, at the sideburn area and a bit on the underside of my bangs and dye it a fun color, like hot pink or bright dark blue . Any suggestions on the right products to use for both? I'd love a permanent punk color, but can't find any. I have a friend who is a professional all lined up to do the color and then cut my hair, and am prepared for extra conditioning and such. Any help would be awesome! :D

For the fun colour, definitely Special Effects, but you'll have to either bleach out the black or use something like Color Oops or the like.
