Well I died my hair black and kept it like that for a few months and I'm tired of it.. I tried to dye it an auburn color and my roots were the only part that actually got dyed.the black got a little bit lighter but not that much.and the hair salon lady said that I could strip it but I don't want to damage it too much,I've died my hair about 3 or 4 times in the last year and a half,I also straighten it everyday.

DO NOT STRIP!! It will seriously damage your hair, instead try this product called Colour B4 (spelt exactly),I tried the extra strength and it took all the black out, there's not bleach in it or anything damaging, my hair is in the exact condition except my natural colour, it doesn't turn you blonde, but instead takes only the fake colour out leaving you with you natural colour, ready to colour again, read instructions carefully but I promise you if you use it correct it's a miracle!
