## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is 5.88 (Deep Red) an auburn color or darker?  or is it a wine color?**
A: Because I have dark hair to begin with, it comes out a very dark auburn.  I would suppose it depends on your own hair color.  If it's a light shade, the 5.88 Deep Red, may come out more red than auburn.

**Q: Does this work on black hair?**
A: If you have a coal black hair. You will end up with a more auburn hair color. You will see the beautiful rich highlights of red.
My hair was dark brown and I have a definite red color to my hair.
Try it, if you don't like it. Then in 6 weeks can try something different. However you may fall in love with the beautiful over tones it gives you.
