i've done this.

dye makes hair darker. the only way to go darker is to bleach and dye. what i did, becuase bleaching is so damaging, was to get highlights through all my hair and then dye the highlights a medium brown, it all blended to like a darker brown shade.

You can go back to your natural color, but I would suggest going to a professional to have it done. Good Luck.

if you can afford to, go to a saloon and they can strip the colour out of your hair, i also went black and permanent and i looked like a witch, so i had to get it done, but be warned it may damage your hair so use loads of conditioner

Been there done that. The brown will not cover up the black. Your hair will look like a cheetah with all the color spots. What i suggest is going to a salon to get it professionally done. However, that can be very expensive. Second option is to put a light bleach in your hair to get rid of the black and then apply the brown dye. I just let my brown grow out on its own. It's pretty tacky but I was young.

well it really depends on your hair.

no lame excuse here- I have done this hundreds of times

If your hair IS a lighter color naturally then you need to go to a salon and have them "LIFT" off the black color and then dye your hair back to close to its natural color. [if possible]

The reality IS..... it won't look natual for some time. You may need to get mutli-tone or hi/Lo lighted hair to make it look better. A solid head of hair color will be noticiable by dull spots.

Since most black (color) have a blue base and most browns a green(ash) base, unless you go for a more red hue of brown.

If you just dye over the black it will not look well at all.

Most cases of extreme color requires a pro in a salon.

Call and ask for a Chemical (color) pro. It won't be cheap.

Here is the reality if you don't...You will chemically burn or "fry" the ends of your hair wear the color is more difficult to match with the root line (new hair) This is for Black or Platium hair its the extremes.

So my highest recommentation, go to a pro and cut off as much as you can for a fresher look and healthier hair.

We are coming into summertime and your hair grows twice as fast (FYI) if you eat well and get lots of sleep.

To take the "hit" per say now, if you want to change.

If you walked into my salon- I would determine if we could get it to a chestnut (reddish) brown (Julia Roberts/Jennifer Garner color) Trim at least 1-5 inches off the length and call it a day! As we ease the color back to yours we had lighter highlights to "intergrate" the colors by summer time it will look fab!

However, The color will need a touch up in about 4-6 weeks and I would recommend at least a total of 5 visits to get back to perfect hair color and healthy hair. Which is actually in the Fall time perfect fall colors of brown.

Black is very difficult to get out of. I've done it twice. The first time I trusted my bf friend to help me out (she said she was a professional) this ended really bad and I ended up taking work off the next day and getting most of my hair cut off.

2nd time I went to a professional it cost more but I got to keep my hair.

Adding brown to your already dark locks will only add more color and make it darker. You need to lighten your hair back to your natural shade and I strongly do not recommend doing this yourself.

On average hair grows about 1/2 inch a month
