My hair is black and I would like to know if bleaching it is necessary? Can I just put on the purple dye without bleaching it?

If your hair is naturally black, then you would be able to buy this product. it actually has a bleaching agent in it! But if you have colored your hair to be black, then you're going to have to buy a color stripper first and then go ahead and use this product. But it will wash out pretty fast, so be careful.

I have blonde hair, bleached it first and it was barely purple. I would not suggest trying it without bleaching (or using this product at all)

Bleaching is necessary to make the color stand out. Anyone with hair brown-black must lighten their hair first.

I have some grey and when I have used it to cut the red tone that sometime appeared with my bathroom hair coloring.... never noticed any purple effect, in fact quite the opposite, it made the grays shine a tad more......I don't use that method anymore :)

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

Nope! I have dark brown hair, and it significantly lightens my hair without the need to bleach.

No you can't. It doesn't work that way. Bleach is taking color out if the hair. Toner is actually putting blue/purple due back in the hair shaft to neutralize the yellow hue. Toner is hair color

When I have done the two step process with henna and indigo I have gotten a dark brown/black that never fades, I can't dye over it or beach it out, it is just stuck. I have also done the one step process (where henna and indigo are mixed) to make brown.So is your goal to have brown hair or black? My short answer is yes, you can use indigo to get the red out. I would do all of your hair so the color would be consistent.

I bought 2 just to be safe. Mine is thick, but not terribly long. I ended up mixing the color with conditioner. You don't need to mix with a developer (or toner as someone else said... not sure why you'd mix it with a toner), because it's more of a stain than a dye. It is super dark if you put the color straight on your hair, so I'd suggest mixing with conditioner to lighten it up and get the bright purple.

The blue and purple pravana should always be mixed with a clear pravana- and using the whole color (purple or blue) should never be used - that would cause your hair to turn a whole lot darker. I would use a whole tube of clear coat pravana and half a tube of color. Of course depending on length of hair also. If you have light hair and you were to use a whole tube of strictly blue or purple- this could cause your hair to turn basically black.

It's very messy. It stains instantly. And yeah food color based dyes rinse out very easily. Mine went from vibrant purple to blonde roots and dark ends. It took my hair dresser 4 hours to get the color out of my hair.

Very very permanent ... It MUST grow out before you try to put any lighter color on your hair. You absolutely should not try to bleach over this. If you want to have black hair forever use this... If you want a change in 6 months... Don't buy this... They have a semi perm option that is a gel.

It is not too dark or jet black. It is natural looking for me but then again my hair is dark. I left it in my hair for about 8 min.

I honestly don't know. I would say it would have a purple tint to it, but to get it really purple, you would most likely need to bleach your hair first.

The only way to do that would to use indigo coloring, you can't use regular hair dye it won't take unless you use oops hair color removal first. I've tried dying over henna with regular black box hair dye and it just washed right out.

This one comes w/ bleach powder already, so u'll be bleach your hair along w/ the dye. Don't pre-bleach it. Because all Palty's products targeting at Asian black hair, I would say leave the bleach out when you dye your hair since you already got medium brown. But if you want your hair look just like the picture shown on the box, bleach it!!

Yes. Otherwise, the best you'll get is a tinge of purple when you're out in the sun or under bright lights. The manic panic flash lightening works well. I'd suggest conditioning before bleaching, but not before coloring.
