I want to add purple highlight to my very dark cherry red. Would this work if I used on the to do strands then use manic purple on the bleached strand

I think so . But I'm not a hairstylist. Doesn't hurt to do the strand test. Dark colors are so hard to lighten. Didn't work well on my dark hair but then I used henna.

If you're wandering if you can use it to do highlights then yes you can you just need to cover your red hair with something like tin foil or something along those lines. The box comes with a bleaching brush so it makes it easier to do streaks and or highlights.

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

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!

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

My natural hair color has a ginger tint to it, which probably contributed to the brassy state this bleach left me with. Definitely don't get this bleach, using it on reddish hair will probably only leave you with an orange mess, like it did with me x

Yes I have highlighted hair and used it, I mainly used it near my roots though, and it did not effect the highlights. However, it says it is not recommended for use on color treated hair.

I did the light purple and it had no red hues, I'm not sure about the dark purple though

This is just for highlights but depending on your natural hair color you can blend the highlights with the gray. I use this as part of a double process. I use a PERMANENT (L'Oreal) color that best matches my natural hair and then use this over it to achieve the look of darker undertones and highlights. Always turns out great!

technically yes, make sure it's a light color you get or the color isn't going to show up. I think it's too fragile to hold up to bleaching/coloring multi-step processing. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, so I could be wrong. this is based on my personal experience with the extensions. I wasn't able to use them more than a month before they were beyond repair.

Yes. You have the choice of red, blue or white highlights. It works very well.

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

HI, I am not a colorist, but I do think it will give you rich auburn highlights. I do not think it will change your natural hair color. I think you will be pleased with the shine, red highlights and body after using Colora.

What do you mean? Can you see? (Grin!) Just pick out the color you want. These are very strand-y. If you want to mix colors, just mix the strands. They separate well and they join back together pretty well, especially if you brush them in together. I don't really know how well the colors match, since I got dark brown or black, and it was very dark.

Hi Crystal, being that henna is a natural product, it won't lighten your hair but you will still pick up a lot of those deep red highlights using the Wine Red. It might actually be close to that purple look you are wanting just because your hair is already a little darker than the Wine Red is by itself.

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.

Not necessarily but keep in mind that the uneven color will lift unevenly with the developer you mix. You could end up with various colors in your hair due to previous dyes. IMO, just dying your hair with this a few times will eventually even it out. I would wash out as much of the manic panic as possible to get an even canvas to start with.

I personally have only used it on black, as recommended. however it could be that DARK PURPLE has enough deepness that it allows the full color change effect to happen? from what I have seen. The color shifting properties have best results on darker back grounds. sorry I can't be more sure of results. good luck.
