Q&A for How to Dye Ginger Hair

Yes, but you'll have to wait until the dark brown hair color gradually fades. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months depending if you were to use a semi-permanent hair color compared to a permanent color.

If your hair is ginger or anything darker such as brown or black, it will be challenging to dye it aqua without bleach. Putting an aqua dye on ginger hair may turn the hair a reddish-violet shade.

I did it with a semi-permanent, it looked amazing, and lasted for three weeks. It might have lasted much longer, but I didn't leave the dye in long enough. Try Manic Panic, just be careful not to get it on anything you don't want to be permanently blue.

You could, but the color might come out less vibrant, and won't stay in as long.

The best colors are ashy tones, they keep the gingery pigment covered a lot better than glossy shades. A bright ginger should opt for an ash blonde, or if a darker shade of red, a more brownish-chestnut shade.

No, the dye shouldn't affect your roots.

Yes, I’ve done it and it worked really well! I used a very dark red and it came out looking great.

You could bleach your hair -- they would definitely show up then! Just don’t bleach too often, and only bleach your hair when it’s been about a month since you last dyed it (especially if it’s been dyed with reddish tones).

You could, but it might still look a little ginger. Bleaching first will give you the best results.

You could dye your bangs a dark blue color and again in a bright pink. But if you're looking for something more natural, try bleaching your hair and dyeing it into the color of your choice.

You just have to keep filling them in. Your hair grows from the roots, so it's going to show. There are products specifically for fill-ins that work pretty well.

Your hair should grow back in the exact shade that it was before.

Pink is always a nice look because with a warmer color the transition from the ginger is smoother. But also there is no single right answer: Dye it whatever color you want!

Number one: don’t try it at home. bleaching ginger hair often leaves orange undertones and getting to silver with box dyes is very hard to do at home.
