How can I change my jet black hair to a lighter color?

Answer by  elaine (450)

If the black is dyed, you will have to go to a salon to remove the color; if it is your natural color, then you will have to undergo a double process at home or professionally. Consider leaving it the way it is since you are gambling.

Changing dark hair to light is harder than the opposite because you are taking color, rather than replacing. You will need something very strong such as a powder bleach kit. Follow directions carefully and make sure to condition it properly to avoid having so much damage. Kits are usually purchased for around $15 at beauty supply stores.

I would go to a professional salon. Many at home lightening kits can cause severe damage to the hair. A licensed hairstylist is specifically trained to lighten hair safely.

It works more effectively if you only lighten it about three shades. There are many products designed for brunettes that will lighten your subtly.
