i had the same problem i have dark brown hair and tried to paint it blue with a semi-perm and it turned green, (still looked cool tho) so i guess you have to bleach it first to get the color you want.

If your hair is dark and you want to lift it to a lighter color (since your hair is black, ALL colors are obviously going to be lighter), you need to bleach it first. Not necessarily blonde (unless you want the new hue of your hair to be bright), but lighter than black. A blue rinse may show up on black hair in the sunlight, but if you really want your hair to look BLUE, get some hair bleach from your local beauty supply store, lift your natural color, then use the dye to deposit the new color.

It should at the very least give you a semi-bluish sheen to your black hair visible under bright overhead lights.



However, to go completely blue, you must first go completely WHITE. Because the cool colors blue and purple are difficult to master, you must remove all pigment in hair first. If you dye cool colors over, say, blonde or bleached hair, it's like adding blue to yellow and what do you get? Green. Or some shade variant of green. (like jade or turquoise)



That said, don't ever bleach your own hair: It's absolutely tricky to do on your own scalp. The reason is bleach tends to 'foam up', it doesn't have the liquid consistency of hair dye. This is something you need to coat-on to apply. And to do a thorough job, you need to saturate ALL HAIR, including underneath the roots and right through every lock of hair. Or else, it will look like you have white hair with blonde and brown spottiness here and there. Like a f****d-up giraffe.



From experience, Jerome Russell makes a strong dye but it's all chemical and if you use it frequently makes hair fall out in large locks. ManicPanic is organic from what I remember, but it's effectiveness has a shelf life so if you order old product, it will not work. You're better off buying straight from their website.
