bleach it first. then do the color.

if you have dark hair like your avatar, thats why the colors aren't working. dark hair doesn't pick up lighter colors.

but i know for a fact it will pick up the bleach.

You cant. Your best bet is to spend the money getting a professional to do it. Home hair color is completely different from professional.

By the way, do NOT bleach your hair then dye it again. You will fry your hair.

Go to a store like Sally Beauty Supply and ask them.

Or go to a salon and ask them the steps.

It's really easy. I've been dyeing my hair at home for so long that I don't even think about it anymore.

Basically, you buy color and developer seperatley. If your hair is as dark as in your avatar, you won't be able to do it a lighter color without bleaching or something first. You will need to permanently lighten your hair to put a lighter (than your natural) color on it. You also have to look for the colors base. To avoid brassy tones, look for something with a blue or purple base. To avoid ashy tones, look for a warm base.

Dying your hair darker does not damage it since all you have to do is deposit color. The lifting is what does damage.

It does work if you know what your doing but you can do other things like if you want blond hair you could use peroxide or lay your hair down in the sun.

first of all, you have probably layered the color so many times you will not get any results without stripping all of that out....and second if you were using only box color on the dark hair in your avatar, then it was only a 20 volume and you would have needed at least a 30 to break through....you should go to a salon, have them do a strand test and see what can be done. they will do a very small piece of your hair and let you see the results. dont try to do it at home, you will only give yourself more frustration. good luck
