Can you put red box dye on dyed dark brown/black hair, or does it have to be stripped of original colour first?

You can but you're not likely to get very far, red is the most difficult colour to get to take apparently

You can, but you won't get the red colour, maybe more of a slight tint if you're lucky to the already dark hair.

You're best stripping it first if you want a more vibrant colour. I went red once and just stripped it to a light brown which didn't do much damage, then I put the red over and it was fine.

Is it your hair OP? I've just looked at your pictures and your hair is too dark for red to take over. As I said, you might get a red tinge that you'd be able to see in certain lights etc but there's not a chance it would be the red you'd hope for.

Yes, my hair.

Thank you for your comments. I suspected I may have to grow it out, or strip the colour first.

Not being a pro at this, I wanted to ask before doing anything silly, and finding I go bald overnight!

It’s unlikely to take on dark brown/black hair so you will need to strip it .

You can buy hair colour remover that doesn't contain bleach, so it wouldn't do much damage and would strip it back enough to then dye it red.

I used to box dye my hair jet black for years and that's what I did when I went red.

It's a faff though, if you have money the hairdressers is the best thing.

Thank you very much for the feedback and tips.

Definitely think it's a job for the salon then, not me.
