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.

It depends on your hair colour I would, say or if your hair pulls in colour very quickly. It will leave a purple hue if left on too long but it washes out next wash. I use it three times a week, just a small amount and rinse it out immediately after applying. It is great for removing brassiness or yellowness from blonde hair. hope this helps

Not likely. You will probably get your hair to the orange level - which is good when you are getting rid of black. You'll need to bleach your hair to get it to the desired level, then tone it.

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)

hi sheila = i've been using it for 4 months now. it makes my hair shiny and blends the colors. i don't see any purple in it. the white is brighter, but still white.

Not that I am aware of. The purpose of the shampoo helps your hair from turning purple when coloring. This is color is a result of shampooing with hard water (from what my beautician told me).

You must have pre-lightened hair to achieve maximum color vibrancy. Dying the purple on top of a dark hair color may give you subtle highlights but that isn't guaranteed.

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 :)

Blue black hair dye will not lighten your hair. If that is in fact the color you used. If your hair was previously dyed you need to remove existing dye before you color. .. try colorfix and then do a quick bleach cap to remove unwanted color and then re dye. If your hair is damaged just try and wait for it to fade. You cannot lighten existing dark hair color with other dyes...only bleach or color removers.

Yes, it will work well on black hair, and it may slightly intensify the color you have. The predominant thing it will do is create more shine, vibrance, and manageability.

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

I don't think it would hurt to put the dye in after u bleach your hair. I color my hair as offend as I need it. You shouldn't have any problems..

My hair was brown/black. It takes really well and for long periods of time. But beware, it STAINS everything it touches and even straight up bleach won't get rid of the stains. It also stains your skin really bad

Yes it will! It will be a darker purple but will still look very vibrant under the sunlight. I actually dyed my light brown hair without lightening it but had to bleach my dark roots. My roots have faded way faster than the rest of my hair did!

I used this color at a salon, and to getthe deep purple I wanted They needed to lift some of my natural color first. (I have dark brown hair) Now it looks amazing, but its a dark purple.

I think so, however I bought 2 of these for my niece, her hair was to the middle of your back, and her hair is very dark, dark brown/black. She bleached her hair twice to get her hair to the lightest shade.

If you bleach your hair and then go over it you may end up with an orange color that faded quickly. The red over the black will give it a beautiful red hue.
