Why wont my hair dye ??
Dye will NOT lighten your hair color! You must strip the color out of your hair and then re-dye it.





You will either have to go to the salon and have them fix it for you or just wait until it grows out (which will probably take a year or two).





Stop trying to dye it... the more dye you add to your hair, the harder the color will be to strip out.





I suggest going to a reliable salon asap and asking for a consultation for corrective coloring. Ask about the price, what condition you expect your hair to be in after the treatment, and what you can do to keep your hair healthy in the future.
Reply:i did this years ago with the same clairol balsam and it took over 2 years for it to grow out.I was a blonde and dyed it the darkest black. you can either wait til it grows out or talk to a hairdresser and ask them what the safest thing for your hair would be dying it too many times too close together can ruin your hair. so ask a professional. Ive done this and I regretted it. it eventually grew out and went back to my normal hair color but it was a shade darker, seems the more you dye youre hair the darker it gets.
Reply:well its really hard to COLOR not dye u dye a egg you color your hair anyways its really hard to take hair color from a black to a red it really dont work. u need to get it prof. done if u did it black they might pending on ur natural hair color they might have to strip the color out which is really bad for hair well good luck
Reply:color won't remove darker color you need to remove dark color first and removers can be veryyyyy damaging. i strongly recommend you go to a salon to get this done, these are the kinds of things they went to school for. hope this helped
Reply:Well, you hold the direrctions, unless you pay some one to do it, you have to read the back of the dye box sister
Reply:maybe your the black is too strong to dye a lighter color
