Darky, a boxed color will not dye your hair a lighter color or give you the shade on the box. You will need to pre-lighten your hair with bleach (hydrogen peroxide) and then deposit the color you desire. Another option is to use a high volume developer with your chosen color. You can use a 30-volume developer with a color that contain a red base to get a reddish color. You will find different strength volume developers and bottled hair coloring products separate at a beauty supply store.

Thanks pretty ladyy :D

Id advise you to speak to a hairdresser.. Home colouring experiments can turn out to be disasters and to be very expensive to fix.. A hairdresser will be able to get your hair to the desired colour safely, without causing your hair to fall out! It will also look a lot better than a DIY job... Good luck =)

You need to bleach it first. Probably a couple times. That way your hair is light enough to take color. I would recommend waiting 24 hours after bleaching before adding other color because otherwise the bleach doesn't have time to set and will turn the color you want to a color you don't expect. I did this trying to dye my hair eggplant purple, but I didn't wait 24 hours and it turned magenta instead. I highly recommend you going to a professional, since leaving bleach on too long can majorly damage your hair. Go get a free consultation at a salon.

Sounds to me like you could need your hair professionally striping, because the pigment in your hairs really strong, it's a bit like being ginger, black hair is a really hard colour to dye.Many people with dark brown hair can dye it easier, but if your hairs raven black,I think you should definitely go and fine professional help, because if you extensive amounts of bleach on your hair, it will all fall out over time..
Hope this helped..
