I've had my hair dyed black a few times. There is nothing, NO color that will cover it or make it lighter on it's own. You have to get a "lifting kit" to lift the black out, THEN put a color in. This is a pure bleaching kit, so read ALL directions very carefully... or go to a professional.

What needs to happen is the hair needs to be stripped of the colour (black) using peroxide bleach and then re-coloured to brown. Go to a hairdresser and have them do it for you. If you do it yourself you could end up with damaged hair that will look crappy. If you damage it too much, it will break and fall out or if it is long, then you may end up having to have it cut off.

you should be able to get a colour remover, you use it like dye but it removes colour instead of changing it. it will take it back to your orginal hair colour
-
Why not cut it short and let it regrow?

See a professional

lemon and sunlight, then lots of hot oil packs and a good wash to make it strong.

Depending on which type of colour you useed to dye your hair black it can have a metalic subtance in it renduring all other colours useless. You may have to have your hair stripped (which you should leave to the professionals unless you like the feeling of broom head) to get the colour out or wait a few months until the colour softens and try again. I too always go red but tried black and it has taken from March when I did the colouring until now for my to get some red back into it without "stripping" the black out of my hair.

The only way you can remove black dye from your hair is either to grow it out, or have your hair professionally stripped and then coloured . Stripping kits can be bought but they are and can be very hit and miss affairs. My advice is to go the professional route.

I am having this EXACT problem right now. I already went to a professional to have the colour stripped, but it didn't work. They told me to wait a month and come back. I actually just made an appointment at a different place literally 15 minutes ago. They guaranteed to get my hair brown. My appointment is tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok, you want a cheap answer? A salon owner friend of mine suggested this when my mom's hair turned a light shade of green. (It was supposed to be blonde, but the hair color dye had blue tint that clung to her already bleached hair... so it turned green.) Take some powder form of laundry detergent and mix it with water to make a paste. This acts as a stripping agent for the hair color. It really did work!

Do not have your hair stripped, bleached or dyed. Wash it with dandruff shampoo and use clarifying conditioner. Lemon also helps (you can leave it in your hair overnight without damaging the hair). Do not use Color Fix or Loreal Color Zap, they will fry your hair and make you look like Ronald McDonald, and if you re-dye after using one of them your hair will just go back to black.

obviously the best way is to grow it out. if u go to a proffesional they will suggest stripping it but it depends on the condition of your hair. ive also been told by a proffesional washing detergant is the best way, doing it a couple of times a day n then when your happy its faded enough, start gettin the moisture back in with a good treatment.
