    Black hair?
    hello :)

    Some months ago , I dyed my hair black ( & I haven't dyed it since ) so now it's faded to a dark brown / black / redish , & I really want to get it out !
    But how ? :confused:
    & tbh. I really don't want to damage my hair , at least not too much :p .
    & I don't have any money at all ( I'm 14 years old :cool: )

    If you are willing to do it in a couple of steps it is possible to remove the black and get back to a lighter color , but it requires patience, it won't happen over night. I am a stylist so if you need help let me know.

    That is correct.. but you can't get your hair back to it's natural color in one process because the black pigment is so deeply deposited. You will only be able to lighten it so much before you will melt the hair... don't be discouraged , it just takes doing it a couple of times over a month or so to get the black out without ruinng your hair! Try this... get hair bleach and 30 volume developer at the beauty supply store, mix according to directions. Have someone help you and apply it to the middle of the hair... stay away from the scalp about 2 inches . Let this process for about 20 or 30 minutes, then put it on the rest of the hair. It should be orange when it's ready and may be different shades of orange in different places. Then use (also from the beauty supply store, NOT box color) a demi permanent color, level 6 or 7 with a green base to tone the orange to a more neutral color. Then get a reconstructing conditioner and do 3 treatments a week for 2 or 3 weeks and then try this process again, except it will get lighter the second time and you may noot to use a different demi permanent color to tone it after you bleach. Let me know if you have any other questions.
