Color cover

I had dyed my hair black. Now I want to dye it a dark red and the black won't be covered, the red only shows up at my roots. What can I do to get rid of the black and replace it with red.

Hi!!!

To get your hair back to dark red you first have to lift the black.Black is the most difficult to lift.To start with you could make a mixture of shampoo and peroxide- 9% if you keep it away from the scalp.Shampoo you hair with this and leave the foam on for 10 mins.Rinse.Repeat until you feel you have lifted it enough .Dont worry if it is a bit uneven at this stage.Aim to lift it 3-4 shades. Dry off hair,then proceed with the dark red.Before you try this make sure your hair is in good condition.If in doubt then I am afraid it a job for the professional!
