stripping and bleaching are essentially the same thing. trust me on this. I’ve been in and out of cosmetology school. dont do this at home…especially since youre going from black to blonde. black pigments hold onto your hair like no ones business. its really irritating! go to a salon in your area and tell them you want to go blonde. because for you, since youre not trained itll be hard for you to know when its ok go rinse the stuff out and whatnot. if you do end up doing it on your own…when youre stripping your hair, dont wait till its white, because the basis of your hair folicle is color. wait till its orange. like a sick dish water strawberry blonde color then rinse it and treat it with a really good deep conditioner from a SALON. not walmart or anything. you need to know its quality especially since youre doing it on your own. then after letting that sit in it…dye it again. any color you want. I recommend blonde, then if you dont like the blonde do another color. just remember, a dark color or a red means bleach AGAIN. and reds are even harder to get out then black because the pigment is so strong. they may fade easy, but theyll hold onto your hair like no other. good luck!!! if you have any more questions just ask!

hey :D the quickest and easiest way to strip black hair is to wash it with fairy washing up liquid 3 times a week it sounds horrible but it really worked for me .. my hair is finally back blonde and it only took 3 weeks to strip it !!

hope this works for u :D x’o

Answer #3

good luck but you can strip it first then blkeach it but any time you die your hair any color and try to die it another color it will not take as well as if it was your natural color. it will not look the color it says on the box. usually it will be a yellowish blonde

Answer #4

I have the same problem but I want to go to brown… what your going to have to do is just let it grow out unless you dont care if your hair gets really fried… you may also take the chances of your hair turning ugly orange or it falling out… (like mee) Sooo I cant get rid of my hair at all… best thing to do is shave it off or grow it out … its gunna look bad for a while but thats what happends to Us I guess.
