OK i have a major issue with my hair.
Im middle eastern, and have had dark hair all my life. I have very prominent black eyebrows and eyes, but my hair was always a lighter shade-more brown than anything else.
So i dyed my hair black-and it looks really good.
but that was 3 years ago..and im so bored of it..and want to add highlights-caramel browny shades to it.
except the hairdressers wont do it saying ive dyed it so it wont come out..but surely lots and lots of people have dyed their hair black but still lightened it?
any advise on what i can do??
Black hair Vs the Highlight?
I am from middle east too. I had red hair color for 18 years and I recently changed it to black. Everyone loved it and I keep getting compliments on it. To be quite honest with you, we were made to have black hair. Nothing else would look as good on us. That said, you may add a couple of lo-lights to your hair, but do not change it drastically. If you want change, try different makeup. That always helps.

Go to a different stylist for another opinion. Personally, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to lighten it.

just look up online wre it says you can and bring it in to your hairdresser. If she still refusses, take your bussiness elsewhere

If you died it black which is the lowest level you can get to and you wanted to add a caramel shade to your hair first you wouldnt really see it. Secondly you would have to cause major trama to the hair shaft. You would need to section the areas that you want low lighted then either strip the color or use bleach to lift the black out. Then you would have to deposit color to the stripped/bleached hair to get the color you are going for. Talk about fried, died and layed to the side.
Adn since you know nothing about coloring ill tell you what a pain in the *** it will be not to mention expensive.. Then when you have re-growth you may end up with a big ol' mess cause you never re-highlight/lowlight the exact ssame hairs twice so before you know it you will end up all brown after time with spurts of black mixed throughout. And to me that doesnt sound so hot.
Your best bet is to lift the black out entirely pick a new base shade, wait 1 cycle (3-6 weeks) then touch up roots and then add in the hightlights/lowlights that you desire. That way you are causing the least amount of damage to the hair shaft

go to a different stylist. when my cousin dyed her hair black, my aunt (a hairdresser) took her into her salon and highlighted her hair to make it look "more natural", but really my aunt just didn't want another freak in the family. (i'm the freak.)
i've dyed my hair black, highlighted my hair, then put in red, pink, and blonde dye into the highlighted part.
