Trouble dyeing natural dark hair

Dyeing hair different colors can be fun for anyone. It’s a way to be creative and make yourself happy seeing how your hair looks and showing it off to others. However dyeing hair could be a problem for those those with dark hair.

Having natural dark hair, black or even brown hair, can be a good thing for some people and others many like your hair, but if you want to dye your hair another color, it may become a problem. Having a natural light hair color you can often just dye your hair without using any other products besides the dye, if you choose to do it yourself, but dyeing dark hair another color usually means bleaching your hair.

Having natural black hair myself I know that many can not dye their hair any other color without bleaching their hair a lot. When you do bleach your hair you have to bleach it a lot and that means damaging your hair. When I attempted to make my hair a lighter color to dye parts of it blue, my hair turned out a dark brown and the putting the blue over the brown only made my hair look black again. Obviously bleaching is needed a lot to achieve a really light color or a color like blue, purple, red, or any colors like that. Sometimes hair dye does work on dark hair but it doesn’t show up well and is sometimes very hard to notice. This is very frustrating knowing that the only true way to dye dark hair is by damaging your hair greatly.

Dyeing your hair can be a fun experience but not when you have to bleach your hair so much to achieve the color you want when having dark hair. 75 percent of women dye their hair in some form at some point. A product that works efficiently for dyeing dark hair without using bleach should be made, it would make many people who have to bleach their hair and damage it satisfied.
