you have to die it a lighter color before you die it burgundy

Whatever the hair color before dying- it is going to show through a little, but with black- it is even harder to color over- I would get it professionaly done. It will look better and cover up the black... Good Luck!

Wash with a shampoo and re-dye again.

Black is darker than burgundy, so you wont see the burgundy unless you stand in the sun, then there might be a red glow. You will need to bleach the black out before you can go burgundy , but I wouldn't recommend this, it will ruin your hair.

You may want to strip the color out of your hair before trying to go lighter. Try a self bleaching kit, or go to a beauty salon.

It is a common problem in coloring when you colored your hair black. Always make known to the stylist that you have had a black coloring on your hair before you do any further coloring. You will need a "coloring rinse" to lighten your black coloring before next coloring. Suggest you let your hair relax for a month before you try the next coloring process.

I've been down your road before. I had jet black hair and I tried to dye it, but the dye never showed up. You have to lighten it up first before you can dye it burgundy. I went and bought a bleaching kit to lighten it, I waited a couple days and then I went and bought regular hair dye and since my hair was no longer black due to the bleaching, it showed came out perfectly.

you cant dye over black hair dye you have to strip (bleach-which is really really bad) the color from your hair or let it grow out before you can change the color sorry girl.

i used to dye my hair black regularly. even a hair stylist could get the color completely out of the ends of my hair. He suggested to use a really dark brown instead of black so its easier to get out later. I know it doesn't help now, but if you ever wanted to do black again, it might.

You see hair in certain colours because light (from the sun, from the light bulb, etc) hits the hair, and then goes on to hit your ye. (Most) hair die only works by taking certain colours *out* of the light that gets reflected. They make your hair darker, not lighter.

I'll say that again. You CANNOT die your hair lighter. It just doesn't work. Its like asking what kind of lead you should put in your shoes to make you float.

What you can do is bleach your hair lighter. Depending on your hair colour this leaves your hair either white-ish, or a light gingerish colour. (There's ginger colour in a lot of brown hair, and the bleach doesn't wash it out as well as it washes out the est of the colour.) Then you can dye it whichever colour you like.

Bleaching does damage hair though. So be carefull. You'll need to get advice from someone who knows more about it than me. Preferably someone you know who can do it with you.

(My apologies if any of this is wrong. I'm far from an expert on this)

Dye, or haircolor won't make your hair fall out, but it will sure make it dry and easy to break. The reason your hair took color only on the outgrowth is that when you color your hair burgundy, you are adding color. You already have the darkest possible color, black. You can't add more pigment. it's like trying to color a black paper yellow. It won't work. So you have to lighten your hair at least to something a little lighter than the burgundy. Then add burgundy color. Mind you, these processes will have a very drying effect on your hair, so you will need to condition thoroughly and regularly. It may even be that you will need to use a color filler between the lightening process and the burgundy color in order to make the color come out evenly. So, here's the process: color hair with a blonding haircolor (to lift out the black color), condition and fill. Apply burgundy color. Condition. Condition. Remember, the more colors you reapply over existing ones, the less predictable the results will become.
