I color my hair with a really black color, if I put on a light brown or dark brown will it work?

1. apply brown color with 6% hydrogen peroxide
2. Nope it wont work. They have stuff that will strip all the color out of your phair but be carefull when you use it and make sure you have enough to do all your hair. I know wal mart sells it. Good luck
3. you may have 2 bleach it first
4. As your hair has been dyed very black, I think you should go have it professionally done. They will be able to strip that and return your hair back to the color you want with the least damage to your hair.
5. no you have to go to a professional and even they will have to have incredible skills you will still have to be patient while it grows out or while the expert gets it out gradually see the black dye is like a stain very difficult to remove I would wait for it to grow out but if you cant then see an expert doing it yourself wont work
6. No. It absolutely won't work. Reason being, box color or any color for that matter, is designed to deposit color or cover Gray. Not to lift color that has already been deposited. The only way to reverse this is to go to a professional. They will have to use a decolorizing agent, then deposit back whatever color you desired. This process, depending on how many times you have used this same color black may not even work due to the richness of the pigment in whatever color you use. Good luck!
7. you should bleach it then color it the brown will show up better
8. I tried the same thing and I couldnt bring the black color up. When I did try to color it brown, the new growth turn brown, but the black part stayed black. My hair looked like a chocolate/caramel blow pop. I had to get it professionally corrected.
9. color does not lighten color
10. Do you use brown chalk on a black board?. No, 'cause it doesn't work.
