How do you strip color from hair?

Question

Ok so I'm getting all my hair cut off and only leaveing 6 inches all over.... because thats how much my hair has grown out sence a while back when i decided to bleach my hair and following my moms GREAT ADVICE i left it in for like 5 hours and my hair fell out on top.
So i figure now thats its grown back i wanna cut off the rest of it and just leave the new hair.
But see most the hair is brown [my natural color] but some of it still has black on it from when i dyed over it after it started growing back. i've tryed going from black to blonde and its a hard process. My roots would get blonde and the rest turned a redish brown.
So my questions are...
1. is bleaching the same thing as stripping hair of color?
and
2. Is there anything more powerfull i can use on the black to get it blonde?


I would appreciate some advice on this.
Thank you,

WELL, STOP COLORING YOU HAIR YOURSELF. IF THE COST IS WHY YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT DONE PROFESSIONALLY, THEN GO TO THE BEAUTY SCHOOL IN YOU TOWN. NOW, IN A SENSE, BLEACHING IS A STRIPPING AGENT, IT IS TAKING OUT ALL OF THE RED YELLOW AND BLUE OUT OF YOUR HAIR, YES RED YELLOW AND BLUE, THAT IS WHAT BROWN IN MADE OF. 2. DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE BLACK PART. IT WILL FALL OUT. WHAT I WOULD DO IS CUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN HANDLE AND THEN PUT TEMPORARY COLOR ON IT. TEMP COLOR DOES NOT LIFT. IT ONLY DEPOSITS, SO YOU CANNOT BE BLONDE, BUT IT WILL SAVE YOUR HAIR. WHEN YOU HAIR FEELS HEALTHY AGAIN, YOU CAN THEN PUT A HI LIFT ON IT. BUT, PLEASE, GO TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
NO KITCHEN BEAUTICIANS PLEASE

If you use hair bleach, it must be applied to the mid strand first, then roots, then ends.... the roots get lighter first because the heat from your scalp is what's making it process faster.Yes bleaching can be considered stripper. However... You can use a product (That isn't bleach) that strips the black with out damage. Unfortunately it's only sold to licensed professionals. My suggestion would be to find a professional to do this for you. Preferably a stylist familiar with the product RUSK ID color remover. This process is not damaging & works EXCELLENT. Unfotunately it costs alot to do this process because it's considered color correction. Another one is made by Shwartzkof that's a good one too.( Only it stinks like rotten eggs) Any salon that uses Rusk hair color or Shwartzkof color is your best bet.

Why don't you skip this part where you damage your hair beyond repair and just shave your head and wear a wig. My god, by the time your done the stripping, there won't be much hair left to dye and when you do, there will be even less after the dyeing process. What a great way to damage you hair. It'll take a long time to grow out

Without sounding like a complete b*i*t*c*h, haven't you learned your lesson yet???? Your hair is very messed up, go see a professional stylist. Bleaching is not the same as stripping, if it was bleached it has to be filled to get it to take new color. Next thing you will be bald ALL OVER and need a wig. EEEEEKK

i am a stylist and if you use something yourself most likely your hair is going to look terrible or its going to fall out again! i know it will cost you more money but it is so worth it to go to a proffesional to get it done right at least to get it back to one color and back to a healthy state, if you go putting something on it again you are just starting at square one. Do your research though and make sure you go to someone that knows what theyre doing, good luck hun!
