    Use blue shampoo to cancel out the red and orange tones. You can purchase a colored conditioner in an ash brown color. Use this product once a week or once every other week, whenever your hair starts getting warm-toned. Apply the conditioner at the beginning of your shower and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse it out. This should squash any of those warm tones.

    Dip a cotton swab into the dye and place a small dot on your skin, like the inside of your arm or behind your ear. Then, see if you get itchy.

    Same as how you would dye a females hair, its just hair. Use a bleach to lighten, and then a grey toner to tone it.

  • Question
    How much dye should I use if I'm only dying the top of my head?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how much hair you have and what type of dye you are using. If you are using a cream dye like Manic Panic or Punky Color, you will only need one pot. Use enough to really saturate your hair. You want to get each strand so it won't be patchy.

    Put black dye on top of it; it should cancel out the red color because it is darker.

    If you like the way it looks, yes. However, the problem is that black hair turns red when bleaching. If you want blonde hair you should go to a hairdresser.

    You first have to bleach it, then you can dye it. If you are trying to get a very light color, you will need to bleach it more than once.

    When you bleach hair you cannot predict how the hair will respond, it could turn a normal yellowish blond or it could be orangish––there is no way to tell until you do it. You can fix an orange shade once it happens though.
