    You can, yes, but it responds to dye differently than other hair colors. I'd recommend that natural redheads see a professional for color instead of trying to dye their hair at home.

    Depending on the type of color that was used you may be able to use a color-remover to lift out the black dye instead of bleaching. This only works on permanent color that contains no stains, only chemical tints.
