If you're going to turn black hair anything you need to take it to a pro--it's GOING to turn orange during the process, and if you do it yourself you're going to stop at orange, freak out and cry about how your hair is ruined. A pro will leave the product in your hair long enough to get through the orange stage.

Anyway, if you've got actual black hair you have to add both a high-lift developer and bleach to the mix to get it to lift to red.

Why does brown hair turn red?

Brown hair does not "turn red." It can appear to have a reddish tint in some light. It may have a natural reddish tint that becomes emphasized by the sun lightening it. Keep in mind that there are only three human hair colors: blond, black, and red, and red is the result of a mutation. True red hair is actually quite rare. Every other hair tint is a result of a combination of hair color genes, OR artificial hair coloring.


You want to dye your hair medium auburn but you dyed your hair blackblue about 3 weeks ago how will your hair turn out to be if you dye it auburn now?

Black is by far the most difficult dye to remove from hair. The biggest issue you are going to face here is the amount of damage your hair must undergo to be lightened from black to an auburn. Your best course of action is to go to a professional stylist who will know the safest and least damaging way of lightening your hair. If you cannot afford a stylist at a regular salon, go to a well ranked beauty school with good reviews online, etc. You will be able to get a much cheaper price for the dye job but there will still be an instructor overseeing the student and giving him/her priceless advice on how to go about lightening black hair.

What does bleaching your hair do?

"Bleaching" your hair (rather lightening it, since hair "bleach" is actually an ammonia based compound as apposed to household bleach which is sodium hypochlorite...) is opening the outermost layer of the hair, called the cuticle and lifting (or lightening) its color, or melanin that is found in the cortex of the hair. Depending on the melanin and/or artificial color in one's hair, the lightener will eventually turn the hair to a pale yellow. Persistent hair lightening will damage the cuticle and lead to split ends and hair breakage, so it is advised to go to a licensed cosmetologist if someone is interested in lightening his/her hair. Applying hair bleach, also known as hair lightener (but not to be confused with household bleach) to the hair will lighten the existing color. Contrary to permanent hair color, the volume of the developer does not equate to the levels of lift, therefor, using a lower volume of developer will get the hair to the desired level of lightness with less damage.
