Hi! I was wondering if anyone had had the experience of dying their hair black and then having it fade out? My hair was originally dark brown with a mixture of blonde highlights and light brown hair I put in about a year ago, after growing it out till most of the highlights and light brown was gone I dyed my hair all blue black 2x now I'm starting to see brown again after about 3 or 4 weeks and I'm not sure how as I used permanent dye, if this happens on a regular basis whats the best way to keep in the black? I used the brands Garnier and Feria

this is totally normal. my situation is the same as yours: darkbrown hair with highlights. i'm dying my hair blue black for one and a half years now every 4 weeks.
with my hair the brown also starts to see through after 3-4 weeks.
the only thing i can recommend is not to wash your hair to often and to use colourprotection products (shampoo, conditioner and regularly hair masks)

greetings from germany :)

I agree, the same thing happened to me. All hair color will fade. When I kept my hair black, I usually dyed it every other month.

I'd go to the salon if you want long lasting results. I did a few yrs ago and it never faded. It may say permanent on the box but its also box dye so i wouldnt trust it.
