You would probably need to use a 20 volume. If your hair is light and you are trying to go black, unless you do something called "shrimping" which is to take it down to a darker color in 2 steps, your hair could very well turn green. Also, if you are older, black is going to make every wrinkle you have pop out. Unless you are willing to experiment, your best bet is to go to a salon and have a professional advise you and do it for you. Although this developer will work with other brands, it is from Germany and they specialize in blond colors.

If you are dying your hair black just to do it black, use a different product. If you have gray hair you are trying to cover use a brown to light brown. Black is not natural to cover gray hair. It will not look natural and to stark. The use of a brown color because of the gray you will have the look of natural highlights when you cover the gray. I personally would not use a different dye product with this developer.

Yes, In my case anyway. It doesn't strip the color that you have. I have the whole"Ombre" look happening and it has left my hair nice soft and manageable. But I have mixed... more african hair so if that is your case I would still follow up with a light conditioner (for color treated hair)on the ends. Hope that helps.

Yes, I have light colored hair, which is finer than dark hair and it works great! Just make sure you use it according to the directions and you will be fine.

I'm sure you could have this in your hair when dyeing it. I'm a brunette who has never lightened my hair so I'm unsure about the bleaching process. If anything you could probably use it on the ends to protect them during the process. If you do use it, use just a tiny bit because it's semi-solid (looks like conditioner) out of the bottle but quickly melts in your hand and you end up with way more than you need. It's super thick even in it's liquid form.

No. I have highlighted low lighted hair color and it does not change the color or make your hair look oily. I love it and it smells great too. It's a great detangler. I am allergic to many hair products but not this one.

No, these do not work as well with darker hair. My daughter has very dark brown hair and only some of the colors works on her, plus it's only a hint of the colors you see. You will not be able to get your hair the color of the chalk itself.

Unfortunately no, but really no color will if you want it true to swatch you have to bleach dark hair. If you're bleach-shy this will look like a blue tint on dark hair that's only noticeable in direct light.

So, it depends on what you mean by work well..... It will dye the natural black a bright red (with a 30 or 40 vol developer) and the orange strands will be a much brighter color even though they didn't get bleached. The reason is this product is mixed with a developer - the developer 'lifts' the color of your hair by 3-4 shades. So, the dark brown will lift three to four shades from brown and the orange will lift 3-4 shades lighter than that. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

I have dark hair, it didn't leave a white residue, but it made my hair heavy, I did not like it, I'm currently using Dove and like it.

If it lightens, it's not obvious to me at all. It remains fairly dark. I have to dye my hair again only because the roots start standing out a lot. Not sure if it matters, but I have thick hair. I love this brand, but I'm pretty sure they discontinued this semi-permanent hair color. So if you decide you like it, you will have to stock up like I did :) Good luck!

There is a built-in sensor to determine if this will work with your skin shade. Before the machine will turn the zapper on, you have to hold the sensor against your skin and it takes a reading of how dark the skin is. If it is *too* dark, the machine will not turn the zapper on because the darker skin absorbs (from box warning) "too much light energy, which could cause skin swelling, temporary blisters or could change the color of your skin. If you are African American, East Indian, Native American or Pacific Islander you may have a skin tone that is not suitable for use with the i-Light Pro..." The box has a printed skin color chart which shows the range of shades this system works with. The "brown" colors it shows and says do *not* use it on starts with a light chocolate color and then it moves to a much darker brown / black. Even the Amazon listing info here says, "It is intended for use only on light to medium skin colors and on naturally black or brown hair." Hope that helps. ;-)

Blue black hair dye will not lighten your hair. If that is in fact the color you used. If your hair was previously dyed you need to remove existing dye before you color. .. try colorfix and then do a quick bleach cap to remove unwanted color and then re dye. If your hair is damaged just try and wait for it to fade. You cannot lighten existing dark hair color with other dyes...only bleach or color removers.

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.

This line of color is called "demi-permanent". It will not lighten hair-you would require a permanent hair color or bleach to do that. However, I have found that it does not cause my brown hair to turn red the way permanent hair color does.

it won't lighten your hair, but it will "glaze" it. I have naturally dark-dark brown hair and it adds an interesting dimension of color, especially in the sunlight.

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!"
