This works on dark colored hair well. You won't get an opaque cover, but you can get a decent effect if you layer lightly in multiply layers

It's not dark enough to really see on dark hair. My daughter is Asian & she has dark straight hair. She really didn't use these much because they didn't show up on her hair. I am blonde so I used them once or twice. My daughter prefers the darker chalks that you put on your hair. She puts it in after her hair dries. Then she sprays her hair so the color chalks stay in better. I'm fair skinned & white, so I just put a few streaks in the back of my hair. Underneath the top hair so it looks good that I have a second color peaking out underneath most of my hair. These colors are for blondes or light brown hair people. Good luck but I would order darker colored chalks like blues, violet, dark green etc... It's not dark enough to really see on dark hair. My daughter is Asian & she has dark straight hair.

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

I think it depends on your original hair color. It's comes out darker if your hair color is black like mine.

Actually I have a dark brown hair so it's didn't effect on my hair but you can apply it just on the highlights by the brush this color is like a magic from yellow brassy to lightest ash tone I hope I helped you.

I have used the dark brown coloring on my hair which is approximately 25-30% gray. It covers the gray thoroughly. I do leave the product on for 30 minutes, which is longer than the directions recommend. Even with leaving it on for that length of time, my hair is soft and undamaged by the coloring.

I have am a natural blonde with dirty one roots. I used the product and when I went to my hair dresser she asked why my hair is orange. I would not use it on dark hair at all unless you want to have a pumpkin hue.

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

Unfortunately, it does not show as a color on black hair, but if you have highlights, it will. It does, however give ALL hair color a lustrous sheen, including black hair. There used to be a 'clear' version, suitable for dark hair, not sure if it still available. The colored ones, especially the red tends to come off on your clothes, so be careful, and do not wear white after applying, maybe after the first washing it will stop coming off, and will run in a pool too, before the first washing.

No, these do not work as well with darker hair. My daughter has very dark brown hair and only some of the colors works on her, plus it's only a hint of the colors you see. You will not be able to get your hair the color of the chalk itself.

I have very dark hair and I didn't notice a discoloration. It only takes a little and it is very fine powder. It does give hair volume.

Yes and No. It will apply easily enough to dark hair, but it won't show up unless there is enough lighting. I have black hair and found it they did not really show up well unless I was in direct sunlight, or really bright lighting, like in a medical setting.

No, It works best on moderate skin tone. I suppose it would work on fair depending "how fair" the skin is and how well you blend it in. I would not recommend it for darker skin types.

It works best when there is contrast between the hair and skin. Example: fair skin and darker hair. Doesn't work as well on fair skin and very light hair.

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.

No, its not suitable for dark hair colors. It only works for butter blonde hair

This product is a color lightener and it give a nice outcome for those who have light colored hair ( blond and brown hair) dark colored hair may become reddish but I really do not recommend using this product in your case ...

No. It does not work on blonde hair. It's also not great on dark, course hair. The best results are on dark fine/medium hair.
