Um if want to get a light color either try to get it 2 time around the same time becuase your hair black but if want a darker like purple blue ore red then gor for it but i will warn that you might have to stick with the color for a long time so if you want test it the use washable or get a streak or two i dyed my hair when i was 8 (yeah my parents dont really care that much) and now im stuck with rainbow red hair all over until im 15 or so. But you should go for it for starters try brown blue gray red and or purple or green
