So I dye my hair black, and everything looks great the first week, but then it turns to a reddish orange weird shade and I have to re-dye it. I use ion brand hair dye, and I have used other brands and it always seems to happen the same! what can I do to prevent this? any tips or brands? Thank you <3.

That's very strange! I've used many black hair dyes and that's never happened. The most is a reddish-brown tint after a couple months. What do you wash your hair with and how often? Do you swim in a chlorinated pool often?

It may be the brand your using. Fat Foam always worked very well for me.

What is your natural hair colour? What type of shampoo are you using, some shampoos can strip the color, also do not wash for 2 days after dyeing, it can cause it to fade much faster, you may need to get your hair professionally coloured, I know for me my hair will not hold dye unless its from a salon, and even then my roots don't really hold the colour as well as the rest of my hair.

Thanks for your answers, my natural hair color is a very dark brown with reddish undertones to it, I use loreal shampoo from my salon. I don't swim often but I'm thinkin it may be the water where I live from. I've never used blue black before, ill give it a try.
