I've dyed my hair black a few times this year. I also may have a little red dye still in my hair from last year. Will this lightener work?

It will take a few times. Space out the lightening. And apply to roots very last, as the heat from your scalp will lighten the roots way more than the lengths.

This is a hair lightening kit, yes. I have very dark brown hair and one application lifted my virgin hair to a near-platinum blonde and my previously-dyed hair to a slightly brassy blonde. It is very effective and one of the better products I have used for color lifting.

I used it and had color in my hair. I have now returned to my natural color. I ordered another batch and am now using it again. Unfortunately I have just learned my hair loss may be due to medication I'm taking. Nonetheless I don't see further loss so I'm taking my chances.

I color my hair and used the Hairmax as directed for over 7-8 months. It did not affect my hair color. I feel obligated to tell you, however, that the Hairmax Laser Comb did not work, and it is a pricey item, so you may want to rethink purchasing this product.

Yes! As long as your hair is dark before you use the henna it will work perfectly. When I did mine my roots were dark and the rest of my hair a light light red. When I used the henna my the dark sections of my hair turned out like they should have, burgundy but the light parts did turn orange. I kept it this way because it's like an unintentional ombré. Make sure your hair is all one color and dark and you should be fine. Also, you might want to get two packs. It took me two colorings to really get it to where I wanted.

I believe so. I saw no significant lightening in my hair to speak of after I dyed it.

I used this product to put a pretty reddish auburn color in my hair. My hair is very dark brown, and I think it looks nice with the red in it.

Yes it will, I have brown hair with natural red highlights and when I used this definitely the red was for sure more prominent. It makes a very bright deep red and is by far my favorite color to use on my hair! So I'm sure that if it worked on my dark hair and turned it a deep red it will work even better for yours!

According to their site, no, and it's dangerous! "It is very dangerous to apply Manic Panic® Flashlightning® kit to hair colored with a permanent black color. Do not attempt to do this without the advice and direction of a professional stylist who can evaluate the condition of your hair. Lightening dyed black hair can be extremely damaging and result in major breakage!"

I have a dark brown hair, and even though on the box it shows that it should have more of a red colour as a result, I would consistently get just a red tinge to the brown before the fade out. Its more noticeable in the sunlight. Like the other response, it would last about a month and a half to two months.

I think so, however I bought 2 of these for my niece, her hair was to the middle of your back, and her hair is very dark, dark brown/black. She bleached her hair twice to get her hair to the lightest shade.

Lauren, It doesn't work at all on blonde or dark hair. Try the Clean and Easy Deluxe Home Electrolysis system. That works on any color hair.

I am black, and it works wonderfully on my hair. It is not a dye so I believe that it would benefit all types of hair, and assist in maintaining its natural hair colour.

I think it depends on your original hair color. It's comes out darker if your hair color is black like mine.

Since it's red, it will fade quickly. Red always does fade fast no matter if you use a color protection shampoo or any other sort of color treatment/protection hair color. I always shampoo and rinse with cold water to help prevent fading, and the upkeep is ridiculous because of how fast it fades. I used this protect when I had dark brown hair, and had to dye it twice to achieve the shade of red that I wanted.. So perhaps dyeing it on black hair may not be a good idea, and I definitely would not bleach your hair beforehand considering this lightens before the dye sticks. Hope this helps!

It does works but not easily. It takes repeated applications on very grey hair. It also may appear reddish, unless left on a long time. You get best results with a fresh batch, mixed with a little indigo to darken.

I can't answer this positively, but based on another answer that the henna color came back sounds like it did work. I had to do the whole process a total of three times to remove all the dye from my hair. The first two times the color did come back after a few days, but the third time was the charm and the dark color dye did not return. You do have to follow all directions as stated to make this work. Again I used this on permanent hair dye and not henna. Good luck.
