I color my hair with a really black color, if I put on a light brown or dark brown will it work?

Question

What can I do to remove my black hair color or get make it brown?

Answer 1

color does not lighten color

Answer 2

I tried the same thing and I couldnt bring the black color up. When I did try to color it brown, the new growth turn brown, but the black part stayed black. My hair looked like a chocolate/caramel blow pop. I had to get it professionally corrected.

Answer 3

No. It absolutely won't work. Reason being, box color or any color for that matter, is designed to deposit color or cover Gray. Not to lift color that has already been deposited. The only way to reverse this is to go to a professional. They will have to use a decolorizing agent, then deposit back whatever color you desired. This process, depending on how many times you have used this same color black may not even work due to the richness of the pigment in whatever color you use. Good luck!

Answer 4

As your hair has been dyed very black, I think you should go have it professionally done.
They will be able to strip that and return your hair back to the color you want with the least damage to your hair.

Answer 5

Nope it wont work. They have stuff that will strip all the color out of your phair but be carefull when you use it and make sure you have enough to do all your hair. I know wal mart sells it. Good luck

Answer 6

no
you have to go to a professional
and even they will have to have incredible skills
you will still have to be patient while it grows out or while the expert
gets it out gradually
see the black dye is like a stain
very difficult to remove
I would wait for it to grow out
but if you cant
then see an expert
doing it yourself wont work
