I've dyed my dark hair black for years, I want to bleach the underside and dye it an eggplant color. Would this work?

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!"

Depending on how ur hair will take the bleach it might take 2 or 3 times to get it light enough. The first time it turned my hair orange then lighter orange and then finally a dirty blond.

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

I have never tried that. In fact I have never completely washed it out. I suppose you could get it to wash out completely if you have time to wash your hair several times. Also, do not expect this to take you from a darker color to a lighter one. It doesn't get rid of the pigment in the hair the way permanent hair color does.

If your hair is black it may not be enough to lighten it or it may not turn the right color there is color chart that shows you on the box what your hair will look like for light brown or blonde hair but not black. I would consult a hair coloring specialist

I have - my hair is pretty dark, so the blue doesn't pop like if I were to bleach it. However, with how well it does work, with a lighter color like you mentioned, I think it would still hold pretty well. This is honestly the best stuff I've found in 10+ years of dying my hair funky colors. Let us know what you think if you take the plunge!! :)

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.

Sorry but semi permanent hair color usually just works with pre bleached hair, because bleached hair has pores where the hair color can get encapsulated. However if you just want a black hair color with blue undertones, you can manage it by just getting a ligth brown bleached hair and a blue semi perm dye

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 ombr. 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 have bleach blonde hair and it leaves no pigment in mine, so I don't see why it would for darker hair.

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 light a blue tint on dark hair that's only noticeable in direct light.

Yup! You can just do your roots. Most of the colors are pretty dark so you may wanna go a couple of shades lighter.

Probably not the way you want it to. Unlike conventional hair dyes, this doesn't have compounds to "lift" any of your natural hair color off, so it'd probably end up only looking reddish under sunlight.

This works on dark colored hair well. You won't get an opaque cover, but you can get a decent effect if you layer lightly in multiply layers

Sure, it'd be as if you dyed the underneath of your hair dark blue to light blue :)

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.

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.
