Bleach the parts you want to be red, dye the black parts(foil over bleached parts should be good enough to not dye it) and then dye the bleached parts(dont have to be careful)

You have to dye it black and then bleach it. Probably at least twice, too.

I did mine something similar, but a pink chunk in the back instead of red streaks.

OK, OK, Unless you are a hairdresser and know what your doing don't do it go somewhere and do it, you will mess your hair up. Really you have to know exactly what your doing some hairdressers don't even do their own highlights they let someone else do it because first of all they cant see what their doing, my suggestion is... if you want pretty hair and don't want to mess up your hair go to a hairdresser.

My mom's a hairdresser, and the only advice is not to die it again.

Dying your hair too much causes it to dry up, and get thin and stringy. If it goes on to long, you'll be bald.

You CAN'T die your hair red, then blond, every week. Your straining your hair. I only die my hair every so often, stick with your hair right now.

Bleach the strands you want blonde for the red.

Cover them with foil after done processing and is rinsed and dry.

Then use your black to dye the rest of your hair.

If using a chemical red, wait a few days before putting it in.

If using something like manic panic or punky's color or stella, you can do it after your black is done.

I actually used to dye hair professionally. You can easily do the bleaching and the black dye at the same time. I regularly wear my hair black and red or blue, etc. It takes a lot of time to do everything in seperate steps... So i do the black and bleaching at the same time. I use foil on the bleach parts to cover it from the black. The bleach can stay on for up to an hour. Your black hair dye should turn off automatically after 25 to 35 minutes so don't worry about leaving the hair dye on too long.... besides you're going black... so it's won't get too black trust me :) The darker the better with crazy colors. After the bleaching is at least to orange you can go ahead and put the red on... BUT if you are doing blue or purple... you really want to get the bleached part extra light... or the yellow left in your hair will mix with the blue in the dye and make your hair look black/green... which is stupid looking lol. Good luck :)

Also keep in mind... all the vegetable based dies like manic panic, etc can be used immediately after dying/bleaching you don't need to wait... but be sure when you use the manic panic, etc that you cover your skin with petroleum that stuff stains awful. And keep in mind retouches will be neccessary like every other day to every 3 days if you want to maintain vivid coloring :) I am doing my hair blue-black with turquiose, blue and violet streaks... i'll email you a picture if you want... angelpuffer@aol.com
