Ideas for black hair dye?

hey x

i have black hair dye and i want to use it but i dont want to just dye the whole lot as that is just bland and what most people do

how can i dye it in a different way ( streaks coon tails etc ) so it looks different and not just completely black.

all ideas welcome p.s i cant really add other bright colours cos of school and parents grr x

my hair is currently medium brown, shoulder length (but i have extensions which make it just below my bust) with choppy layers and a side fringe

Test the dye first, in case your hair changes its colour.

Why not go to a salon and have streaks put in?

Just do all of your hair black. I have dark blond hair, and every time i dyed it, no matter what i did, i wasn't happ with it. Then i dyed my hair black, and i love it. Its awesome looking, not bland. It looks sweet if you get the darkest they make. Hope this helps.

Why don't you only colour the layers underneath, and leave the top part as it is?

go with straight black and get blonde highlights they wont complain about that will they? other than that you can do stripes in your hair horizontal... like hte opposite way your hair normally sits straight, it looks awesome =] normally thats done with brighter colors on darker hair tho.

have black all the way through with a caramel or fox brown colour slashed or sliced through your hair or have low lights but slices are better you will see the colour through the layers this looks nice because ive got it..lol.x

GO TO A HAIRDRESSER! U'll really regret it if it goes wrong, and if they do ur hair horrible sue them.

If your gonna do it you'll have to dye it all black, then have a few highlights put in afterwards.

Be careful though, make sure its what you really want because I knew a girl who dyed her hair permanantly black then hated it and tried to grow it out. Because she had naturally light hair it looked like she was bald on top!

If you don't like it you could always have a hairdresser colour it back to your natural colour so don't worry too much!

You should try dying the underside of your fringe, then clip up the top layer of your hair (I wouldn't put any there, it shows through faster and is more obvious if you get it wrong).

With your hair down (all except the top layer) you can just use a comb or your fingers to add the dye where you want it. I'd go for a little down the side of your face your fringe is, as a continuation of the dye there.

Then just streak it through at the back, clip up some more hair if you want an effect that shows off your layers better, by adding some streaks to each layer.

Here are a couple of pics to help you get the idea:

(they may not all be the right colour, but the blond helps you see where the black dye is anyway)
