    Black hair disaster
    My hair used to be a dark brownish
    And about 3 days ago I decided to go black
    WHY? I don't know biggest mistake of my life..
    I hate it I can't even look at myself in the mirror
    I want to cry every time I do...
    So I decided to read tips on how to let it fade
    I don't want to bleach strip it out at the hairdresser...
    It will cause my hair to damage
    And it took years to let it grow
    But I tried Everything else...
    Tide
    Dishwasher soap
    Lemons
    Head & shoulders
    Bleach with shampoo..
    Conditionner
    Hairspray
    I don't understand cause
    The water is greyish and the foam
    Of the shampoo is greyishh
    So I assumed its working.. but then while drying my hair
    I noticed
    Its still black!
    Do I need to do this everyday
    To actually make it work?

    I hope Pretty Lady sees this and helps you out. I have no ideas other than, if you want to make a radical hair colour change sometimes its best to try on a wig and wear for an hour or two with your regular make up to see if it suits. I hope you only made minimal damage to your hair with all those concoctions. Good luck Vanee, but are you sure you can't just let it grow out a bit until it fades more ?

    Since you only put the black color on it once a good color remover at a salon should lift it .If you colored it black more then once it's a lot harder to remove. You don't have to put bleach on it. Everything your doing at home is harder on you're here then a GOOD color remover. Then you can tone it down ,With semi permanent color. I don't recommend you doing this at home. Go to a color specialist. It will save you in the long run.
