Dying my hair

[Circadia]

I want to dye my hair a colour similar to this


but I think I might have to bleach it first because my hair is so dark but the thing is I'm allergic to hair bleach so I was wondering if I found a hair dye similar to the colour above would it have any effect on my hair because its so dark? Or would it end up going a funny colour?
My current hair colour:

No it wouldn't change your hair at all, it's far too dark. What are you allergic to in hair dye?

No chance with something that light straight onto dark hair on the plus side those hologram glasses cost like £2 from ebay

I'm not sure its just something in hair bleach, i had a tester done at the hairdresser because I was going to get my hair bleached but the reaction was immediate so she refused, obviously, but the thing is my cousin used bleach to highlight my hair and it didnt affect me at all, so I don't know if I should risk it or not
Edit: I've also used normal hair dye without a problem so its specifically something in bleach

Might be worth doing a tiny tester with whatever your cousin poured on your head then, definitely wouldn't attempt a full on bleach job if you're not sure though. One of my chums who is allergic to like everything tried it thinking it would just be fine and while it was hilarious for me I don't think she enjoyed the outcome quite as much

Only problem with that is she's in London and I'm in Blackpool I doubt she'll even remember what she put on me because it was in 2011 but I'll ask her anyway, hopefully its not something that only hairdressers can get and is easily accessible in a shop :L

oh ye do what tom said and test it first @Jssy; had an allergic reaction to hair dye before which def wasnt great om its a nice colour you want to dye your hair though yay

The only way to dye your hair lighter if you're allergic to bleach is use a hair toner, which will lighten your hair 3 stages lighter, then if it's still dark, probably use it again a week later, so your hair can regain it's keratin back. Then just use a white dye and mix it with that purple colour that is on the girls hair.

Have you tried organic bleaches or organic lighteners, with little chemicals? They take a few goes to get really light but sounds like it might be more suitable for your hair
