Well, you can do it now, but it will cause more damage and may not look the way you want it too. You might , if your considering waiting a while, wait six weeksHow to get red highlights on black hair?
If I were you, I wouldn't focus on what they did at the salon because they use different products. I would wait at least 2 weeks to bleach your hair, im not to sure if that a great time but I do know that any earlier and you can break off your hair and or just kill it. After you bleach it maybe you should put a relaxer or like a conditioner on it, so it's not so frazzled....i guess you can add the red right away but im not 100% sure of that. Espically if it's bright red....if its NOT bright red you may not really have to bleach your hair just add the bright red die to your hair and leave it on for a long time....when you rinse it out it will be a deep/medium deep red....





good luck :)
how long ago did you dye your hair black?


if i were you id wait 24hrs before you bleach it and dont wash it until two days after the bleaching.


honestly id wait a few hours before putting the red in because since you just bleached your hair it wont absorb the red pigment very well.





maybe schedule a day just to do your hair, that way you can make sure to get the best results, i also recommend getting someone to help you out too.
it depeends on how bright of a red you want your hair to be. last year i used a red rinse and since my hair is black it really didnt show. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT I TRIED AGAIN AND INSTEAD THE LADY THAT DOES MY HAIR HAD TO DYE THE PARTS OF MY AHAIR THE I WANTD RED... BLONDE. AFTER SHE USED THE RED RINSE ND RINSED IT OVER THE BLONDE PARTS.
most people, if they go to the hair dresser, then they at that point may get a hair dye treatment or something like that.
Ask any hairdresser, they should know what to do.





Or you could just go over it in black highlights.
it says on the bottle or box.


and yess that is whhat the salons do.
