    Keep in mind that black hair is the most difficult to lighten. Dark hair contains red pigments in it, so if you apply a blonde permanent hair color on dark hair, it will result in red/ginger tones. If you want a decent brown shade, you must pre-lighten the hair, then deposit the selected color. You can use a high-lift color to lift hair color, however, a high-lift color can make the hair brassy. Just tell the hair stylist what color you want, and he or she will try to achieve your desired color.
