I have got dyed black hair (with nice & easy) darkest brown which is jet black
I dyed it two weeks ago and the colour has only faded slightly,I have bleach damaged hair underneath this dye... all my hair melted when I last put bleach on it in may so I opted for the brunette look which came out black my hair is now feeling healthier after countless hair cuts and treatments,I have today purchased goldwell colour remover in the hope that this will take the black out and I can try and get to my original dark blonde hair... my question is... do I have to bleach it again after I have used the colour remover?a professional is diong this on Tuesday but my hair has to be strand tested first and I opted to purchase the colour remover in the hope that bleach will not be used?
Any answers would be a great help thanks :D

Any change of letting your hair settle for a while?

It sounds like you would have very damaged hair from all that bleaching and dying.

I definitely wouldn't recommend bleaching your hair after it has already been bleached and dyed... most hairdressers would not touch your hair for fear of being sued if it fell out or you had a lot of breakage.

I agree

Hair isn't alive. It can't rest, and it doesn't heal. Basically, if you've damaged your hair, it'll stay damaged until you grow it out and cut it off.

ColorFix, Color Zap and Color Oops are three color removers. If you wish to go back to blonde, you'll have to use one of these and then bleach out what won't come out with these. This process (or these processes) will damage your hair further. With a little luck and a lot of conditioning, it won't break off. In your case, it is likely that it will.
