    What is the HEALTHIEST way to go form BLACK to light BROWN!
    :confused:

    I've been dying my light brown hair JET BLACK for the past 9months.
    I want to go back to my natural color in the worst way.
    I've done a lot of online research of "home remedies/store bought" (instead of going to a salon for color correction.
    I've seen everything from color zap to lemon juice to head and shoulders..
    I would like a method that someone (on the planet earth) has used and had success from.
    THE HEALTHIEST remedy possible for my hair

    PLEASE REPLY IF YOU CAN HELP!

    I want my soft, silky light brown hair back!

    The healthiest way is to let it grow out.

    The second healthiest way is to use a reducing-type color remover to remove some or all of the black. Igora Phantom, Color Oops and ColorFix are reducing-type color removers. ColorZap and Effasol are bleaching-type (oxidative) color removers. Oxidative color removers are significantly harder on the hair than a reducing-type color remover.

    Home remedies, including lemon huice, actually don't work very well, and they're harder on the hair than reducing-type color removers.

    Wel actually I'm looking for the right answer because iv'e tried the lemon juice and the peroxide they made my hair a bit lighter but nothing to be real excited about! So maybe the effects work differently on our hairs. But if yuh try THESE LITTLE EXPERIMENTS PLEASE U WITH CONDITIONERS AND SAFETY CAUTIONS!thakies

    Until this black is literally cut out of your hair there is no way to remove it that is considered healthy however all colorist are extremely educated on the removal of hair color and will let you know your limits as far as how much your hair can take! As a stylist it is my job and all other stylist job to get you to your desired lighter color without your hair being damaged a ton! Do not attempt these remedies you've read about! Your drying your hair and wasting your time! If by chance the color did lift out after these remedies? All you would end up with at best is a nasty red or orange result! Please go to a salon to get your desired color back! Only we know what we are doing and can successfully get you there!
