Stripping Black to Blonde
So I dyed my hair black a few months ago, and liked it... for a while. However, as time went on, my hair has become more and more damaged, and I have wanted to continue to dye it less and less.
Now, I would let my hair just grow out to its natural color, but that would take months, and the color differences between my naturally blonde hair and dyed black hair would look terrible. Therefore, I have saved my money for a few months and decided to dye it.
However, when I was speaking to several people I know who have dyed their hair over and over again, and know far more about the subject than myself, they said that I would need to strip it multiple times. My hair is very fine, and I really do not wish to destroy it more than necessary. Furthermore, I will not bleach it because my sister did so to her hair and it still looks terrible months later.
I am prepared to have it professionally done, as I refuse to risk doing it myself. Is it possible to get back to my natural color? Could I do so by stripping it only once?
