The answer is: it depends. What is your natural color hair? If it's light brown / medium blonde or lighter, this product will do a great job lightening your hair and will complement your highlights. If your natural hair is darker than that, this product will turn your hair a rusty reddish which may not be the look you're going for. I love this product because my hair is naturally light brown and I also have some grays. I used to get highlights and was spending A LOT of money getting professional highlights. Sun In easily did as good a job as my expensive highlights. I got so many compliments on my color that I now spend $6 a year on instead of $600 a year. My colorist tried to tell me this product is bad, blah blah blah. He just misses screwing me out of a lot if money. If I were you, I would "test" an inconspicuous area towards the end of your hair to see how it looks. If it looks bad, you can get a hair cut easily enough....

If your hair is black it may not be enough to lighten it or it may not turn the right color there is color chart that shows you on the box what your hair will look like for light brown or blonde hair but not black. I would consult a hair coloring specialist

I would say get the dark brown as my hairdresser says that you want your roots darker than the rest of your hair.

Hi calla1052. I would love to answer this for you but I received the brown color though I ordered black. I am expecting the black hair piece in a few days. Once I receive it I'll let you know what I think. Thank you

So, it depends on what you mean by work well..... It will dye the natural black a bright red (with a 30 or 40 vol developer) and the orange strands will be a much brighter color even though they didn't get bleached. The reason is this product is mixed with a developer - the developer 'lifts' the color of your hair by 3-4 shades. So, the dark brown will lift three to four shades from brown and the orange will lift 3-4 shades lighter than that. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

My natural color is a medium brown and it lightens my hair a bit with extended use. I've used same product for about 2 years. It will definitely turn any grey you have into a red/auburn color. The directions say to leave it on for an hour, but I leave it on for two (it wont damage your hair because there aren't any harsh chemicals.) Keep in mind that henna oxidizes and takes about 2 days for full color to actually take form. When I rinse it out, it always seems a little brassy to me, but after a day it softens and on the third day color is a very pretty reddish brown. So to answer your question, I would say that it would probably leave a reddish tone on your hair (maybe seen more in the sunlight) and with highlights red colors would become stronger after extended use........ The good news is that it is inexpensive so if it doesn't work, you didn't spend $150 at a salon. And if you don't like it, no worries because it fades after 3 weeks :)

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

I have brown hair and it comes out dark purple and noticeable. Get compliments all the time. I use a hint of pink also for highlights. You do not have to bleach your hair. It won't be like a neon purple it will be a dark purple.

Very dark brown. I wouldn't recommend this hair, though. Tangles very badly.

I know this is an all question but I would like to say that if this is your first time ever coloring your hair I mean if you have a virgin hair you don't need a 40 developer,that's too strong for your hair,you can do well with a 10 to 20 developer,since you never colored your hair before it will work fast.A 40 developer it is for someone who use hair color and wants to go from dark hair to blonde.

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

I'm not a professional, but I do use this color frequently. I don't think it would have any problem lightening medium ash brown hair. It's pretty strong. My natural color is dark blonde/light brown and my results are very similar to the photo on the box.

Honestly it depends on how dark your hair is naturally. I did, because my hair was dark and dyed but if you have lighter hair then you should be good.

I have the same coloring as you and I ordered the #2 dark brown and the color matched so good, my mom and my hairdresser could NOT see where my real hair and the extensions started. Fair warning, order 2 sets to make sure they blend very well. Our hair is very thick and it needs the added thickness for it to look real and not choppy. I LOVE, LOVE, mine. I wish they had the ombre with the dark brown going to blue or purple or pink. I love that look but don't want to buy another product that I probably won't like. The customer service with this company is amazing! I contacted customer service and asked if you can cut the 3 clip pieces and they told me yes, so I ordered 2 sets and I clipped them down to 1 and 2 clip pieces. It gave me the extra fill in around my face that I needed.

Buy another dye. Cause the color will not show in your hair. Plus it turns dark purple.
