Answer #1

Get another perminant hair dye a shade lighter and work it it up to the shade you want . Which if it is medium brown - light brown it will take quite I few times to dye ! But leave time between each dying to prevent major damage.

Answer #2

Hi (= Yup I’m American. Well I actually wouldn’t suggest bleaching from straight black. I would suggest stripping it. I had my hair dyed black for about 6 months, but then I wanted a platinum blonde. I’ve heard color oops works well (about $12= how many euros?) But that’s still just drugstore cheap stuff. If you have a Sally’s or some type of beauty supply house over their, look for a color remover. I used “Backtrack” by Paul Mitchell; turned my hair a nice deep mahogany brown(not orange). You can look at my profile pics if you want to see the before, after and now pics!

Hope I’ve helped, and Good Luck!!

Answer #3

I was in a similar situation a year ago. I recommend going to the drugstore and look for this thing called Color Oops. It helps remove hair color where you can dye it again without damaging your hair or anything. I used it and it works really well if you follow the directions carefully. My hair was a very dark brown almost black before but after I used the Color Oops it turned my hair an auburn color and it was really brassy but then I dyed my hair again to brown, my natural color over that and my hair got back to the way it was before. Hope this helps!

Answer #4

take the most expensive dark brown, or dirty blonde, or just brown dye. thats what I do and it works pretty well.
