    If you get the black lifted out professionaly, a stylist then can apply a medium brown (make sure it is a "warm" brown, not a cool. As long a you sit at a level 5 you are safe. Do not attempt to fix this at home or you could damage your hair to the point of having to let it grow out. I hope this helps!

    Thank you very much for the information.. . I've had it done once will it be okay again? I love my hairstylist just am afraid to get it done again. Once again thank you very very much.

    In order to go from black to medium brown, you will need to lighten and re-color your hair, or let it grow out. Remember that your current color is 4-5 levels darker than your natural color. To go 5 levels lighter without the red brassy tones, it is recommended that you pre-lighten your hair and then apply the selected color. However, salons have professional products than can make your hair lighter in one singe process. You might want to visit a salon and have them do a corrective color.

    I have super pale skin naturally.. and I made a very bad decision to dye my hair pitch black and I looked like a ghost! I had to get my hair bleached and then dyed back brown, and then I was told by my stylist to use lots of conditioner when I shampoo to make sure my hair doesn't get too dry. It's damaged from all the flat ironing and everything though..
