Mmk. I was wondering....I really don't have the money to buy a bleaching kit. And I was wondering how you could go about dying your hair with regular home bleach like you clean with. I just tried to dye my hair with regular bonde and it didnt work. My hair is black...I recently dyed it that color. Please hurry and tell me what to do if you can. I really need any kind of home remedy about hair dying if you can. Thnx. :)

Regular bleach will only damage your hair and possibly burn your skin and eyes, don't do that.

PLEASE don't do that... Do you have naturally black hair? Or dyed black?
Natural: Bleach it then dye it the shade of blonde you want...
Dyed: Strip it, bleach it, then dye the shade of blonde you want... or better yet, go to a salon for this one...
If you don't have money to dye your hair, then live with the color you have until you have money. Home dying won't work and will make things worse...

Never use household bleach to bleach your hair because it can cause serious burns on your hair and skin. You will need to use professional hair products designed to lighten hair, not household bleach. If you want go to from black to blonde, it requires a double process (bleaching and toning). This process is difficult to do and should only be attempted by professional.

No don't do that! I think you should either leave it all together unitll you have enough money to be able to get a proff to sort it out. Especially as you have BLACK hair! But I do know how tempting it is to just have a bash yourself.. it wnt be worth it.

1. No you cant.
2. If you want to make your black hair another colour it requires two steps. The first is BLEACH to remove the colour. The second is DYING it the colour you want.
3. However; if you have previously dyed your hair - you cannot just bleach your hair. The chemicals mix with your old dyed hair and thus can lose lots of hair. You have to strip your hair of you old colour, then bleach, then dye. This one really ruins your hair big time.
You're better off starting toning your hair for now until you can afford to go to the hairdressers for a proper strip, bleach, dye :D
Make your hair a few shades lighter for now.
You can do it by putting lemon juice in your hair and sitting in the sun for a bit.
