Loreal haircolor "for dark hair only"...?

i dye my hair black so i thought i would try this product to put red in my hair but it didnt take very well. the color i chose was "deep auburn red" (or something like that). should i try again and get "red" or should i just forget it. i know that color doesnt lift color but this color is designed for black (dark) hair, do you think that it is for naturally dark hair? or should i just leave it on longer..

well, imagine it like this..



you've got a piece of white paper and you colour it in black. and then u put red over the top..u wont really be able to see the red !



so, you need to rub out the black and then put the red on.



so, for your hair, the 'rubbing out of the black' will be done by using a pre-lightener on your hair. it will take out the black colour and let your hair be able to take in the red colour you want and it will show up



also, the product probably needs to be left on for much longer but watch out how long, you could end up with BRIGHT red hair!!



so, strip the colour out then re do it



will look fabbb =]

Hair color stops processing after so long unless it is bleach, it will damage your hair if left in. If you dyed your hair black, then adding a red won't make it red. Think about it, if you color with a black marker, then color over it with red, it will remain black. So red will not work, and using box colors is bad bad bad for your hair. Do not ad any color lifting or lighter color to it, only have a professional work with color on you and tell them that you used box color. Using box color and mixing other brands can make your hair expand then break off. To get it to red you will either have to strip the black out, which will damage your hair, then ad the red. Or ad red as small highlights but by a professional, and they will have to repeat this for thenext yr. until your hair is red. Or you can let it grow out. Black is hard to get out, mostly why I don't recommend using it.
