Will stripping my hair help? Get rid of black hair? How can I lighten it?

Found a website that better help answer the questions you have. This is what I found on http://www.wisegeek.com...
Hair dye stripping is a process which is used to remove unwanted hair color. It only works when hair has been dyed darker than its original base color, and it is usually used as a prelude to color correction, which means that the hair will be dyed again after it has been stripped to achieve the desired color. As you might imagine, hair dye stripping can be very hard on your hair, so it should be avoided, if possible, and you may want to consider going to a salon for this service. After hair dye stripping has been performed, it is very important to regularly deep condition the hair for several months.
