Well, I have dyed my hair a little bit before, but mostly just temporary stuff. I have some questions. If my hair is brown, will hair dye show up in it? Because when I used to temporary dye my hair a funky green, I had to lighten it first or it did not show up. Also, what else is important to know? I don't want to mess this up. I want to dye some of it auburn, just the tips.

You have to follow the instruction carefully. Besides, I do suggest you to ask someone to help you to dye your hair. Since you may not dye all parts the same as you are unable to see it. I helped my husband to dye his hair before and I had to say it seemed complicated. This is why I think it's better someone to dye your hair for you. I love China

Oh, I would love to die my hair, maybe put some purple high lights or streak's or I might try some light brown high lights, but I think I would go with something temporary in case I grow tired of the look, anyway I dont know a lot about dying hair because Iv never dyed my hair before but I'm thinking about trying it.

Yes colors will show up but a lot of times they will be a little darker because you have dark hair and you will have to let it set a lot longer. I usually add 30 min to the max time on the box. Best of luck to you!

If you want to change your colour to something lighter like blond, you should better have it done by the professional. But if you just want to cover the grays and use the similar colour you alreday have you have nothing to worry about. It is easy. If you have dark hair you also shouldnt have any problems changing it red or something like that, the problem is only turning them blond. But thats the first time, later is no problem at all.
