i've tried to dye my hair black about 4 times now (all with a lot of time between) and it never seems to work. i've tried different kinds every time and it always turns out a weird color (that's not black). this time when i did it it turned out to be a midnight blue color. i don't know why this keeps happening to me since i bleach it every time beforehand. any help?

My theory is that your hair is blue because when you bleach it you take all the red pigment out of your hair. Only south-east asian black hair is really blue based (Japanese hair for instance), most other black hair is just really really dark brown.
So by bleaching it, you risk it fading really quickly for one thing, and you don't get that really deep base colour to build on. That said, it may be the dye you are using - a vegetable dye that stains your hair might be the way to go.
Stop bleaching your hair, let it grow out and then use Castings!!!
