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.
