Bubln that's the brand that messed up my hair, but I was relaxed at the time and it made my relaxed hair bone straight. I was texturizing at that time so my relaxed hair was still curly...but once I put that dye on my hair...OH BOY!!!

Because I was relaxed(mild no-lye relaxer) when I used that dye it may work better for your natural hair...but I don't know.

Make sure you test it out on a strand first.

Good luck!

Oh honey, thanks for the look out!! I am confident in this color because I've used Dark-n-Lovely before (remember Red Hot Mary??) Tell me this- does the damage increase as you go lighter in color choices?

I don't know anything about color. :lol:Bubln that was my first and last time using permanent color. I'm so scared or color....chemicals period.

I do think lighter means more damage.

OK...where are the stylists...Balisi...Hairmaster?
 
Yes, the lighter you go does increase the potential for damage. LIfting dark hair to a light color is very hard on the hair as it is taking a lot of the natural color out and has a tendency to thin the strands. I think this is why some companies are now developing color designed for dark hair.
You may not have as many issues though because you are natural so you wouldn't have the double process issue to woory about.
you should try the hair color that is geared for dark hair. Dark N Lovely has the whole Hi Rez line that is pretty much a bunch of different reds designed to dye dark hair. I was thinking of trying them at one time.

What is Hi Rez?

Hi Rez is fade-resistant permanent hair color specially formulated to give naturally dark hair vibrant, high impact color in one application.

Hi Rez features Quadro-Conditioning, a maximum conditioning system that will help to maintain the shine and vitality in your hair after coloring.

Hi Rez works best on hair that has NOT been previously colored with dark brown or black color. We recommend that you wait until your existing color has completely grown out before you apply
Hi Rez.

Accentuate your signature beauty and style with vibrant color. Choose from Hi Rez’s 13 vivid shades and make the ultimate statement!
Here's the color swatches

Some don't recommend dying dark hair to a blond as it may turn the hair more of an orange than the desired color.

[font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Do…
[/font]


  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Use a semi-permanent color or rinse. Since it does not have ammonia it is not drying and will enhance your natural color.
    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Make sure you follow through with a color enhancing shampoo and conditioner. This allows the color to stay in the right balance to keep the integrity of the color.

    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Have a professional protein treatment at least every two weeks. Doing so conditions the hair and brings the pH level back up. It also keeps the hair moist and prevents breakage.

    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]If you can afford to, have a professional color your hair. This is your best option. Home products are stronger and therefore can damage your hair.[/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Don’t…[/font]


  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Use a color that contains ammonia. If you do, opt for a color that contains a low level of ammonia.

    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Attempt to drastically lighten your dark hair. For instance, an attempt to color you dark hair blonde may result in an orange color.

    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Use a color that has more than two shades of lift. Use a shade that is only one or two shades lighter than your natural color.

    [/font]
  • [font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Apply color to the entire length of your hair when retouching. Apply the color to the new growth only. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]Follow this professional advice and you should have great results. Happy coloring!

Okay,ladies, what color should I get? I've had the reddish tones before so this time I was thinking of a paper sackish brown, since my hair color is dark. Whatdyathink?

What does that look like? I mean do you have a sample of the color? I think a brown (like Brazen Bronze from Hi Rez) would look good on you.

I also think something like Copper Shock (from the Hi Rez Line) would look good on you. The color this lady has is Copper Shock.

Dangit Kaddy! Those colors make me wanna color my whole head vs just getting it skreakeddeddd!:lachen:

Paper-Sackish brown looks kinda like Kitchentician's hair.

Hey yall- say that I got that reddish copperish color- what color highlights should I get?
 
I agree with Leshia. A strawberry blonde would look great with that copper shock color. Here's a pic of strawberry blonde

I didn't read thoroughly, so I didn't realize you were just highlighting with the color. I think just highlighting with the color will look good as well. IMO, this color will blend a little better than the "paper sackish brown" since your hair is dark.


This weekend I actually saw a natural lady with two toned hair similar to Eve's and it made me want the colors. It may have been a tad darker at the top.
