I want to get a deep wine-reddish color. But I have black hair. Can I get that effect? If so which color?

Having color show up on black hair is never a guarantee. If you used a color like Ruby Red or Candy Apple you will most likey end up with a shine of dark red in any natural highlights of your hair.

I am not sure if you will be able to achieve the color you want without bleaching. I've always bleach before color, but then again I go for really bright colors. The deepest wine color I know of Special Effects is Burgundy Wine, pull up Special Effects color swatches on Google and then research the colors you like and you will find some good pictures of what the color looks like on other peoples hair. I've read of some people doing color without bleaching and they usually get the color they want but the color washes out rather quickly. Hope this help! =]

Yes, black or nearly black hair blends well with the black hair on the extension. I have darkest brown, nearly black hair and my hair blended well with the extension.

Definetly this one. I have both the red and the magenta, and the first time i dyed my black hair with this red dye, it became a beautiful dark blood red.

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.

Since it's red, it will fade quickly. Red always does fade fast no matter if you use a color protection shampoo or any other sort of color treatment/protection hair color. I always shampoo and rinse with cold water to help prevent fading, and the upkeep is ridiculous because of how fast it fades. I used this protect when I had dark brown hair, and had to dye it twice to achieve the shade of red that I wanted.. So perhaps dyeing it on black hair may not be a good idea, and I definitely would not bleach your hair beforehand considering this lightens before the dye sticks. Hope this helps!

My hair is a dark red... Intense dark red. I would say that this is most likely the color you're looking for as long as you read up on how to dye your hair with henna. If you make the mistake of washing the color after dying it, you could end up with orange. Study and then try.. I love my hair now!

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.

My hair is too dark brown with a reddish tint. I use dark brown. He does not have a reddish tinge, it is cold brown. I use it quite a bit

Yes! I have almost black hair, with gray salt-and-pepper, and it shows up very well as long as the bottle is fresh and full. I know the bottle is getting empty when it gets less vivid on my hair.

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.

Hi Crystal, being that henna is a natural product, it won't lighten your hair but you will still pick up a lot of those deep red highlights using the Wine Red. It might actually be close to that purple look you are wanting just because your hair is already a little darker than the Wine Red is by itself.

Yes I did exactly that. I have red hair and it is impossible to find the right shade online. I buy the light blondes in human hair and dye them. It took the color beautifully!

I have very dark brown almost black colored hair and it works great on my hair...color really pops!

My hair color was almost dark brown (between dark blonde and dark brown), and I've been using for 5 months and I'm almost blonde now.. Sometimes it looks a little bit like red, but depends on the light. It will work, but I'm a little concerned about what color would turn, since the product says that dark hair will turn a little bit red and not blonde.

If you want to use the pearl blond, my advice would be don't do it!! The pearl blond actually comes out purple! So if I was trying to enhance my hair color with your hair I would go with a red or a burgundy.

Yes, I have dark hair and it worked fine on mine. All I did was follow the instructions and got great results. On my dark hair some of the colors started to fade after 3 - 4 hours.

No, I'm a light ash brown with silver gray in it. My hair used to have reddish highlights many decades ago. The grape Kool-ade rinse (NO SUGAR!!!) came from beauty tips I saw once last year in Real Simple magazine. Sometimes even after the rinse, I have to dab it on with a cotton pad and leave it in where the temples and hairline are the most silvery. Be sure wear protective gloves or you'll wind up with purple fingers and fingernails, too.
