dye the head a dark blue or green first,then dye it black, if you dont the black will come out purple. and yes dyeing does weaken the head a little bit but not very significantly

if you keep heating the dye, like keep the water and dye on the stove, then you just need to do one packet of black dye, thats it. also, freezing the head after the dye helps strengthen the head. ive also noticed that if you freeze it, the dye comes out shinier than w/out freezing it. maybe that was just this one instance

Yes, it will weaken your head. But the difference is entirely based upon how you see it. The amount of flexibility after you dye your head is based on numerous variables, including how long you left the head in the dye, how hot the dye was, etc.

If youre worried about your head losing its strength, dont do it to your primary stick. Try it out on a back-up first.
