You really dont need to do this yourself. But, if you are going to I would go to a beauty supply store and ask the person working there what you should use. If your hair is natural black-it will take a lot to lift it to blonde. It does go in steps of color-red, orange, yellow then blonde. If you dont use the correct amount of developer or leave it on long enough it wont lift enough-you could turn out with orange hair! You may have to apply the bleach twice to get the disired look of blonde. Which can be damaging to the hair.
As a liscense cosmetologist I would recomend you go to a salon.

You need to leave it on as long as it takes to go thru the natural course. Since your hair is black, I would just keep checking it until it is to the color that suites you. If you only leave it on for 15 minutes it will be orange. So, keep it on, keep checking it, and when it is right for you, take it out. Personally, I would get it done professionally, but if you really want to do it yourself, go to a beauty supply store and get the mixes there. They can help you with advice too. I wouldn't actually put bleach on your hair.

If your hair is black and you want true blonde, go to a salon. It's hard to take hair from that dark to that light at home by yourself. At a salon they can lighten it with a shade that will also tone out a lot of the reddish tones. Sure it will cost more, but what's worse than Halloween Hair?

it's best to use a kit for this, they don't cost alot & you can find them @ just about any store.
Your hair will go from red to blonde & it will take a LONG
time.
I had my dark brown hair dyed blonde years ago
( by a professional @ the hair salon) she had to
keep the bleach on for about an hour !

GO TO A PROFESSIONAL! If you try to do it yourself with those at home bleaching kits, especially since you want such a drastic change, you will end up with orange straw. Go to a reputable hair salon and have a consultation with the stylist before you do it...depending on how dark your hair is, you may have to do a double bleaching process, which can take two visits and in between it may be funny colored. Please, please, please go to a pro!

well heres the problem. if you have black hair you would have to go 2 to 3 steps. when you highlight your hair you should leave it on at least 30 minutes then rinse it out but it probably will not be the color you want so you would have to go over that color again. trust me , my natural hair color is black. i did it plenty of times. i recommend you to go to a hair stylist if you dont want to have to keep on doing the process over and over again. your hair will be damage.

i have black hair and would NEVER high light it. it won't look very good. black hair is fantastic to have. just use hair gloss. if you have deep black hair all you need is a good shine to it. it will look like doll hair. very silky and shiney is the best thing for black hair. other colors they can highlight and look okay, but really, you'll end up looking like the bride of frankenstein. seriously, it's a skunky kind of contrast.

i could definitly circulate to a specialist. dark hair can somewhat be broken in case you opt to circulate blonde. they must be conscious toner and do an excellent sort of different issues that i does no longer decide directly to debris with myself. Plus you waouldn't decide directly to make a screw up your hair. circulate to a salon.

It probably goes from red to blonde since blonde has the least pigment, but you shouldn't do it yourself if you don't want it to get messed up.
