Sure. If you have black or brunette hair, you can use Xpressvie. For maximum effectiveness, it is designed for African American hair – which is the most sensitive type of human hair. Xpressive is formulated with careful attention to minimize damage to sensitive hair. You may want to use a plastic cap or heat for more penetration. http://www.bigen-usa.com/xpressive/faqs.php#q18

Should I buy?
I've had highlights before, and my hair broke off but I had never colored my hair before and didn't understand that you need to deep condition your hair every time. That said, I'm nervous about coloring my hair, wanted to use this product b/c I hear it doesn't use the same harsh chemicals as other hair dyes. I want to go from off black to a honey blonde, I don't have a relaxer, would you recommend?

It will last about 4 weeks. If you have presence of new growth, you may want to touch it up. http://www.bigen-usa.com/xpressive/faqs.php#q18

Active Ingredient
I noticed that Xpressive does not need peroxide or a booster. What is the active ingredient that causes the lift and is is safe for individuals who are experiencing hair loss due to traction alopecia? My dermatologist said that it is safe for me to use a permanent dye.

There must be some sort bleaching agent in the dye itself that activites in contact with water...hope this helps! Although don't quote me on it, I guess you could ask by calling the company hotline...

Yes. When you mix the powder with water, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide are derived. http://www.bigen-usa.com/xpressive/faqs.php#q17

It should be ok as long as you do not do both applications during the same week.
