hair question

I dyed my hair before x mas from black to a red colour, now it cost 130E to do it, and i cant afford to keep it topped up, it has grown out a good bit and wondering would a home dye kit ( black colour) dye my hair back to its normal colour while im waiting for the red to grow out, or would it come out all weird over the red colour, this might seem like a vain question but i have a weeding this weekend and need advice on how to hide my roots!!

the dye might come out a different colour on the dyed bits to ur normal hair, erm but might be alright cause it black, if it was me i wud give it a go cause it will be closer to ur natural colour

It should be ok. Particularly if its been a while since you had it dyed last. Use a semi permanent

Buy two packets of dye so you can do it again to even up the colour if it doesn't work well the first time.

black is black. use a strong semi perment meant to lastfor say 24 washe=s and leave it on the longest recommended time.this way it will cover it all real good
