PLEASE READ!!\r I used LOreal Excellence HiColor Red HiLights on my blonde (prelightened hair). To use this dye you do not have to prelighten your hair unless you have dyed it black or a darker color. Then I suggest using a color remover before using LOreal Excellence HiColor Red HiLights.\r The directions say to use on DARK HAIR ONLY so instead of using 30 or 40 volume developer I used 20 volume.\r I used both colors Red and Magenta\r \r I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL
