I have thick black hair and want to lighten it without it looking brassy and bad?

In the past ive tried garnier fructise but it made my hair look soooo red and unnatural. Any tips on how to get it to look maybe like a medium brown, dark brown, or just a nicer, lighter color? im tired of my black hair. please tell me what brand and shade you used, or anything helps. thanks !

whatever color you decide go to a salon and see a professional. i dont know how many people ive seen box dye their hair and try to lighten it up that have utimatly gotten their hair ruined beyond repair. try to maybe go to a medium brown with caramel highlights? if its got red in it already your going to have a really really tough time getting that out because red is the hardest color to get out of hair. a salon can help you out a lot because they will know exactly what to do. and it will probably be cheaper in the long run because if you box dye and keep box dying til you get your desired look your hair will be destroyed and you will have a fun time at the salon while they figure out how to fix it and how much $$$$ its going to cost you to do it. corrective color is really expensive. do it right the first time and it will look great!

Follow up bleaching with a neutral toner. Any beauty supply store will have different levels of developer, and you will probably need level 40 (assuming your thick hair is also strong). You need to use specific bleach with the blue 'anti-brassiness' supplement, and you may need to lighten in stages in order to get to your desired tone. Definitely follow up with a toner or once the hair is light enough, if it is still brassy, dye it with an ash-blond, or any other light neutral/ashy color. It is a tedious process, especially if you have to do it often (say if your hair grows fast like mine), but it is nice that there are now more coloring options for those of us with dark hair.

Caucasion natural black hair is rare and wonderful. Oriental/Indian black hair is very difficult to color or curl without problems. African black hair if colored lighter causes the skin to appear creamier and is very flattering in any lighter shade but extra care needs to be taken because coloring can cause extreme brittle hair that breaks too easily. Then there is a problem in going lighter that can cause a green/witchy gray tone...and that ain't pretty in any case. I had natural Irish black hair but always wanted to be blonde....as I got older the black hair became more brown and dull looking. Then I could use a good rich dark brown and it was successful and looks becoming.



I was blonde for four years...by bleaching out the hair entirely...Of course it was a muddled shade of dark reds, brassy redish browns., ...only very little hair was blonde...(Note: The timing on the box indicates when the coloring will cut off and you will only damage the hair keeping it on longer than the time indicated on the box)... I used a bleach out kit...cannot remember the name. Then I used Roux Fanci-full "White Minx"....a very platinum lightest shade....That is a temporary hair coloring. I sometimes used a "Sandy shade" to reduce the brassiness. My hair would never go those light shades of platinum but the temporary coloring just reduced the brassiness is all.. The darker red shades would become a darker brown shade using the platinum coloring toner. But even if you don't want to go blonde you may find that the best way is to add color after attempting to strip the hair of all color.



Once the hair is bleached out you can become any color you want. You will need to use a red color for about ten minutes and it will hold a brown shade ...The intensity of the red shade should match the intensity of the brown shade you want. Then every time after you shampoo you could then use Roux fanci-full #21 "Plush Brown" and that will give a great shade of brown.



I found out the hard way that putting brown on top of blonded out hair produced a delightful ashy grayish greenish hair perfect for dressing up like a witch on Halloween....lol
