But what if you impulsively decided to dye your hair more... dark colors, and what’s even worse, in pure black. Naturally, this situation is more difficult to change, since in this case even professionals use various bleaching agents or removers, and they can seriously damage the condition of the hair.
Brown highlights on black hair

You should also take into account whether the hair was dyed with permanent dye or whether a semi-permanent dye was used.
With a semi-permanent dye, you can achieve good results at home much faster.

First way This is the use of a special wash (also known as a color corrector). If you decide to do this procedure yourself, study the brightener and the future paint in advance, there are both 2 in one and separate options.
In one procedure it is possible to switch to 3-4 tones or more, the disadvantages have already been described above. Test the composition in advance, for example on the wrist, for allergic reactions if you suffer from hypersensitivity. No redness? Then you can begin the procedure.
So, the second way : wet your hair, then apply a special cleansing shampoo to it, lather it well on your head. It is advisable to additionally wrap hair with shampoo foam for a while in polyethylene to enhance the effect.
After 15 minutes, you can wash off the foam that has absorbed the black paint with plenty of water. The transition to 1-2 tones is achieved in several procedures. Next, the color is brown.
Third way,
consists of using vitamin C or ascorbic acid in the form of powder or tablets. In addition, you will need a shower cap, a towel, a comb and your favorite shampoo.
If the vitamins are in tablets, then they must first be crushed, then mixed with shampoo, whipped into foam. As soon as the mass begins to resemble a paste, it should be applied to damp hair under a cap, then it is advisable to comb the curls with a wide-tooth comb.
The paste with vitamin C should be left on the hair for at least 1 hour for it to take effect, and after the allotted time, you just need to rinse it off and wash your hair in the usual way. If necessary, the procedure using shampoo and vitamin C can be repeated until the desired result is achieved.

Who suits black hair color?
The classic black color of curls suits few women: just look at the “before and after dyeing” photos to see for yourself.
Many people, when choosing paint, focus only on the tone of their face, which is fundamentally wrong. Moderately dark and fair skin goes equally well with all shades of hair. Specifically, black is contrasting, so it emphasizes any rashes, wrinkles, pronounced blood vessels, and also makes the skin 1.5-2 tones whiter.
Natural brunettes are usually brown-eyed women with olive skin. Eyebrows are of great importance: they should not be faded or sparse.
Blue-black curls are not suitable for natural platinum blondes, as well as girls with problematic faces.
The palette of dark tones is extremely rich, so every woman can choose something for herself. There is no need to immediately paint yourself a burning black, since it is difficult to get rid of such a bright pigment.
Dark shades make the face thinner, and the hair visually more voluminous and thick.
At the same time, black has a clear drawback: it is not suitable for women with bright eyes and soft, “cute” facial features. This contrasting shade can ruin an initially pretty face, making it pale and expressionless.

Dye your hair black
How to dye your curls at home? Correct coloring is carried out in 3 stages:
- Dyed hair needs to be dyed. Black has a bright and covering pigment, so no pre-lightening is required. The dye must first be applied to the roots (for 5-10 minutes), and then distributed over the entire length of the hair.
- Keep the dye on the curls for no more than 30-40 minutes (depending on the initial shade of the curls and the quality of the dye). Rinse off with warm water.
- The final stage: washing the hair and applying conditioner. Dark dye can significantly dry out the ends of your hair, so it is highly recommended to apply nourishing mask for 15-20 minutes.
To make coloring more comfortable, you need to acquire in advance a brush, gloves (they do not always come with the dye) and a suitable container for diluting the oxide and paint.
The best hair dyes
The palette of any paint includes dark shades, since they are basic and popular. But not all dyes have decent quality and high durability. Women with weakened curls are better off purchasing products without ammonia.
Interesting dark shades (purple, obsidian) are in the L’Oreal Prodigy paint palette. This particular dye can dry out the ends a little and spoil the overall condition of the hair.
1. Estel Professional ESSEX, 2. L'Oreal Preference, 3. Kapous Professional, 4. Syoss Oleo Intense
Which paint is the best? We can safely recommend such means as:

- Syoss. Paints from this company, as a rule, have a small palette, but very decent quality. The only unsuccessful line: Oleo Intense (low staying power and poor coverage). All other products can be safely purchased. The cost varies from 220 to 500 rubles.
To cover up a red or red color, you need to buy paint with a bluish tint.
How to remove black hair color?
Painting a dark color is quite easy, but washing it off is much more difficult. Often, black shades are removed in several stages, since the pigment is strongly absorbed into the hair (especially if the coloring has been done several times). Dyed curls cannot be dyed more bright hues even professional paint. Don't throw money away and ruin your curls with unnecessary procedures.
There are 3 ways to get out of black:
- Lightening. Cons: severely damages curls, dries out ends, final color has a yellowish tone. After home lightening Curls often become patchy, so this procedure needs to be done in a salon.
- Removal of pigment. Cons: The final shade may be yellow. Various means(powders, creams, removers) from the companies Estel and Kapous will help remove dark pigment from curls. This can be done at home. The products must be used according to the instructions. It is different for each product.
- Changing shade. It is not necessary to resort to radical methods and lighten your curls. You can make a different shade of black, for example, change classic color to bluish.
To care for colored curls, you will definitely need conditioner. It is advisable to buy a product for colored curls. A woman will have to make nourishing masks 1-2 times a week. It is recommended to use paint and care products from the same manufacturer.
Does black hair age you or not?
Classic black makes you look old, but don’t forget that this color is different and multifaceted. Warm shades that fade into chestnut do not add age. It is best for older women to paint themselves in warm colors, but a young girl can afford cool colors. Gray undertones and rich monochrome colors age the most.
If the hair is initially gray, then the dark dye should be left on for no more than 20 minutes. During this time, the product will completely cover gray hair and will not give too pretentious an effect.
Also, unnatural brunettes need to regularly tint their roots. Without touch-up, the hairstyle will look awkward and ugly. Do not forget.
Tone is a rather complex and lengthy task. Sometimes, to achieve the desired effect, you need to visit the hair salon at least 5 times. However, it is quite possible to complete this process in several stages so that there is no tint of yellowness or unnatural color. Let's look at the main ways to achieve this result.
- 1. Highlighting strands
- 2. Repainting
- 3. Advantages and disadvantages
- 4. Washing
- 5. Useful tips
- 6. Proper care
Today, there are 2 procedures for turning a brown-haired or brunette into a blonde: lightening the strands and repainting. Each of these methods has a number of advantages and disadvantages.
Highlighting strands
This method includes several successive stages of highlighting strands. It is carried out in the salon by experienced hairdressers. It is not recommended to do this yourself at home if you do not have the proper skill, as well as the necessary knowledge and skills, otherwise you may get an unexpected and unpleasant result.
The highlighting method is contraindicated for girls with thin and brittle hair. The fact is that due to intense and prolonged exposure to chemical dyes, they can be irrevocably damaged.
This procedure allows you to achieve lightening up to level 11. It consists in the fact that over the course of 2-4 months the hairdresser applies a special lightener to the strands until they acquire a yellowish tint.
First, lighten the ends and hair to the middle, and then move on to the roots. Unfortunately, if you repaint from a dark color to a light color, the appearance of a yellow tint cannot be avoided. To achieve beautiful light brown color or a muted blonde, you still have to go through this stage.
The goal of the hairdresser is to obtain a basic light shade, onto which you can safely apply paint of a certain color. Thanks to this, you can get the desired result without yellowing.
If you have certain knowledge and skills, highlighting can be done at home. However, for this process, try to select modern cosmetical tools with a gentle effect, they will save healthy shine and hair structure.
Hydrogen peroxide should not be used as a bleaching method. Otherwise, you can seriously damage your hair, which will eventually take on an unhealthy, lifeless and unkempt appearance.
Repainting
This method involves gradual repainting using lighter shades each time. It is carried out until the desired result is achieved.
As a rule, to obtain a light shade, 5 procedures are required, which are best carried out in a hairdressing salon by an experienced hairdresser. Although, on the other hand, repainting can be done at home yourself. The main thing is to choose high-quality paint and oxidizing agent 3%.
To repaint yourself, you should sequentially carry out the following steps:
- Mix in equal proportions professional paint with an oxidizing agent.
- Distribute the mixture evenly over the entire length of your hair.
- Cover your head with a special cap and terry towel.
- Leave the mixture on for 49 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.
- Rinse your hair well using a moisturizing balm or conditioner.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of highlighting is the ability to relatively quickly obtain a beautiful light shade. With its help, in just a few sessions you can change your hair from brown-haired hair to a bright blonde.
However, this method has a significant drawback - intense lightening leads to a deterioration in hair quality. If possible, this can be avoided by using gentle products and proper care of the strands after each procedure.
Compared to the bleaching process, gradual recoloring does not damage the hair as much. In addition, you can easily do it yourself without visiting a salon, which will significantly save money.
Please note that dyeing several shades lighter is only possible on natural curls, since ordinary dye only lightens natural pigments. It is practically powerless for colored hair. In this case, it is best to resort to salon procedure highlighting or washing off paint.
Wash
If your natural shade is light brown or blond, and your hair is currently colored dark color, the washing procedure will help you return to your shade. To do this, you need to visit a salon, where the master will apply a special composition to the dyed strands, which is capable of washing off the pigments of artificial dyes.
The only drawback of this method is that natural pigments can often be washed off along with artificial pigments. As a result, the hair acquires a colorless and unnatural shade. To correct this, you can resort to additional coloring with dye, the color of which is closest to your natural hair.
You can also use the wash at home. As a rule, it is enough to apply this mixture 3-4 times over the entire length of the strands.
You can purchase this product at a specialty store or hairdressing salon. It should be noted that it is quite expensive. But with its help it is possible to completely wash off the dark paint and return to your natural shade.
- for easier coloring, it is advisable to cut your hair in a smooth cascade so that it is of different lengths;
- Before you carry out the procedure of repainting or highlighting, show the hairdresser a photo of the desired result and listen to what he says. If your color is too dark, you may need at least 5-7 re-bleaching treatments, which will greatly damage your hair;
- You don’t have to dye your hair bright blonde to change your appearance. You can simply make your natural shade 2-3 shades lighter. For example, those with dark chocolate hair can lighten their hair by 2 shades. As a result, they will get a very beautiful and delicate mocha color;
- the resulting light shade should be in harmony with your color type of appearance and in no case contrast with your eye and skin color;
- If you want to dye your hair yourself at home, always choose an oxidizer with a hydrogen peroxide content of no more than 3%. Higher peroxide levels (6, 9 or 12%) can negatively affect the structure of your hair, making it thin, brittle and lifeless.
Proper care
Often, after intensive lightening of strands, a deterioration in the condition of the roots is observed, which leads to hair loss. To prevent this from happening, you should provide them with proper care:
- twice a week, when washing your hair, use a chamomile decoction to rinse;
- regularly use a moisturizing balm intended for colored and damaged hair;
- Use a restorative mask regularly.
Thus, dyeing hair from a dark color to a lighter shade is a rather scrupulous procedure and requires considerable money and time. It is worth noting that intensive lightening often leads to fragility and loss of strands. To avoid this, when dyeing or highlighting, it is best to use gentle products.
