How long before it starts to fades? how long before the color is basicly gone? and will it work on my dyed (alot but not latly) black hair?

Since it's red, it will fade quickly. Red always does fade fast no matter if you use a color protection shampoo or any other sort of color treatment/protection hair color. I always shampoo and rinse with cold water to help prevent fading, and the upkeep is ridiculous because of how fast it fades. I used this protect when I had dark brown hair, and had to dye it twice to achieve the shade of red that I wanted.. So perhaps dyeing it on black hair may not be a good idea, and I definitely would not bleach your hair beforehand considering this lightens before the dye sticks. Hope this helps!

If you have dyed your hair black in the last four months I wouldn't recommend using this. If it has been over four months then sweet it will be amazing. You will however need to do your hair two times in order to achieve a full and even color. Red does however wash out quickly! ! It goes into an orange color within about 8 weeks. You will only want to wash your hair once or twice a week in very cold water with clear (sulfate free) shampoo as well as conditioner. Red hair should always be dry before you fall asleep because it will rub off on EVERYTHING. I had my hair this bright red color for about 7 months and it costed me around 300.

It fades with every wash, that's why people recommend color replenishing shampoos and conditioners. I, personally, have never used any special products. I wash my hair the same way I used to before I colored my hair. For me, it stayed red (a faded red - but, nevertheless still a nice red) for about 4 months, and then it gradually turned orange. Idk how it will work with dyed hair, but I had pretty dark brown hair and it turned out fire truck red, which was amazing.

My hair stylist said it can cause color to fade quicker. I took a break from it and didn't notice a difference so I started using it again.

This product is really good! It will stain anything. It catches on better on bleached hair of coarse. If your hair is not almost confused as a light brown colour then you should be okay. It should get on pretty well and last long enough! Maybe a little more than two month. Just make sure to apply it correctly! Good luck�

I am not a professional stylist but this product was recommended by mine. He especially suggested the after wash conditioner that you must leave-in for 10-minutes before rinsing. I am a dark brunette with untreated (natural) hair. So far, has not caused any discoloration. Be sure to use on damp hair not wet. Once dry, the texture is play-in-your-hair soft. This is only my experience. Hope it works for you. ;)

Hi Kristy: I'm not a professonal; but I know that I have thin & fine hair & since using this product my hair is thicker. Also, I have had many people notice my hair looks thicker. It will most likely not be noticeable until at least 1 month. Hopefully, this answers your question & I wish you all the best. Please keep me posted. :)

It's been about a month since I used this, and the color has faded some, but I had a mess before - roots one color and the rest another (failed attempt to match didn't work). My hair, although lighter than when I first applied the dye, is still all one color. I'd think it will last another 2-3 weeks...

I used the dark purple on my unbleached dark brown hair 3 weeks ago and it hasn't faded at all. The color lightens a little but it isn't any less vibrant. This is definitely a permanent color, but be careful when you shower because even now when I shampoo my water runs purple.

I really like the dark brown, I have never tried the soft black. As a matter of fact it is on my hair right now. I do have gray hair and it does a nice job covering. It last as long as it takes for your hair to grow, usually 5 or 6 weeks.. It will stay longer, but I have to do it that often because of my roots. I think you should try it.. It is also a good conditioner.

My hair grows fast, so an application lasts me about 3-4 weeks, much like other hair dyes. If you leave the surya in your hair long enough when applying, it does a very good job of covering gray. I've not had problems with fading so much as my hair growing out. (I use black). Oh! there is a little bit that rubs off on pillowcases and the top of my white blouses, but not much. I try to really rinse well and I wash my hair a couple of times per week.

I'm sure your hair will go back to its natural color. I use this about once a week and since I'm allergic to every other dye, rinse, etc on the market, this is the only hair color I can use. I love it. I am a natural brunette in the old days and this product is great. It adds a lot of highlights to my hair and turns a lot of my gray blond making me look a whole lot younger.

If it lightens, it's not obvious to me at all. It remains fairly dark. I have to dye my hair again only because the roots start standing out a lot. Not sure if it matters, but I have thick hair. I love this brand, but I'm pretty sure they discontinued this semi-permanent hair color. So if you decide you like it, you will have to stock up like I did :) Good luck!

Hi Tracy, it lasts only 2-3 weeks. It is a beautiful natural color, however the main reason I use this dye, is that I am allergic to ammonia and peroxide. Otherwise I would prefer a permanent hair dye as opposed to this semi permanent Hope this helps, Antoinette

Yes, it will work well on black hair, and it may slightly intensify the color you have. The predominant thing it will do is create more shine, vibrance, and manageability.

The color lasted for me. I only re-colored because of grey roots (I'm 40). I stopped using it. As I continued to use it, it got darker and darker on me until I looked like I was going after a gothic look. I am fair with blue eyes. In the end, I had ravine black hair. Way too hard for my complexion. I was using the Dark Brown.

I usually do not wash my hair before using this protein filler, and it still works fine. i use it on damp hair, leave it on for 20 minutes and then put the dye over it OR you can mix it in with your hair dye. id only wash my hair before using this if i had previous product left in my hair (i.e. mousse, hair gel).

I usually leave it in about an hour, but I have naturally dark hair. I also mix a little of the leftover dye into my conditioner afterwards to make the color last longer, and it usually stays nice and bright for about a month and a half.

I have a dark brown hair, and even though on the box it shows that it should have more of a red colour as a result, I would consistently get just a red tinge to the brown before the fade out. Its more noticeable in the sunlight. Like the other response, it would last about a month and a half to two months.
