Removing black hair dye without bleaching?

I dyed my hair black a while back and I want to dye it a different color but I know that black hair dye is hard to get out. I don't want to bleach my hair because I've bleached my hair twice before and my hair felt like straw afterwards. Is there any other way to get rid of the black hair dye so I can dye my hair a different color?

i would use a deep deep cleaning shampoo.

try

-bumble and bumble tonic.

-brocato peppermint scrub purifying shampoo %26lt;-- this is wonderful!

-neutrogena shampoo. (just the regular weekly shampoo)

use everytime you shampoo. for about two weeks.

the color will fade a bit but not completely.

make sure your also using conditiner (as much as your trying to take out the color you dont want to dry your hair)

thats what i did to take some too dark color out of my hair.

also you could try a color removal kit.

ive never tried them so im not sure how well they work.

but i do know the color your hair is afterwards is not your natural color so you'll have to dye again. but you can pretty much do any color, itll take all of the black out.

and last you could try a hot oil treatment . its supposed to take dye out, but if not it will always condition hair

i added links in the bottom for you.

good luck =]

If you have bleached your hair a couple of times before then put black dye over that? I suggest you see a professional. Seriously. Your hair is a potential disaster waiting to happen.

The heartache from using bleach one too many times and ending up with mushy, destroyed hair isn't worth trying to do it on your own, again. Trust me. I know.

I have black, damaged hair too. When I go to the salon every 4-6 weeks, I have my hair stylist highlight my hair with bleach then dye the bleached parts, but it will take months before my whole head is back to a lighter color.

You can do that, but pretty much anything else you do will damage your hair even more because if you bleach your head again all at once, your hair could start breaking and falling out. If you bleach only a little of it, only a few more hairs fall out and it's not as damaging.

YOu will have to go to a professional and get it stripped i would recommend getting conditioning treatments before and for sure after

Removing black hair dye without bleaching?

really there isn't anything you can do. Color doesnt lift old color out, so hair that is dyed black, dark brown things like that cant be colored light brown. The best option you have is to put highlights in. Don't do it your self. The stylist will use bleach to lift out the old color... most likely the result will be an ugly orange color, to make this better the stylist will tone or color balance, this is a gentle process that will put a color on to that bleached hair.

Sorry, but this is truly a case of once you go black you'll never go back...LOL. At least not without bleach or letting it grow out. You have to strip out black to make the hair any lighter color (all colors are lighter than black).

This is hard on the hair, you are right. Worse yet, black barely fades like most other artificial colors.

You are in a pickle no doubt. And don't be fooled by products that say "remover" or stripper because what it all boies down to is...bleach.

Try to live with it or, have it fixed and cut it short and start over !Good luck !
