A couple of questions about dying my hair.?

Ok, so for graduation from 8th grade, I'm going to be able to dye my hair any color I want. I was thinking about black with blood-red highlights mixed in. I want to know two things.

One: is it possible to preview your hair as a different color without using photoshop or something like that (i.e. upload your picture to a website and they show you). I'm not exactly hopeful on this, but who knows? I don't, and that's why I'm asking.

Two: what is the best way to do this? If it helps, I have really thick dark brown hair that is touching my neck (barley) everywhere except my bangs, where they're down to my mouth. Also, what's the safest way to do this? I have no plans of losing my hair any time soon (or ever, if I can help it).

Thanks,

-Alex

Well i didnt this before in 8th grade with my hair....i put semi-permanent blood/light red..and pink in my hair where my bangs were and did highlights...this doesnt effect your hair as much as permanent would,,,it will wash out so many washes i forgot how many..but if you're looking to dye your hair black i would dye it black wash you're hair and then wait atleast 2 days to put the red it because it might not come out right the best place to go for the red highlights is sally's beauty supplies that is were i got my red hair dye......
