I really don't know. Don't they make dye removers?

No , black is very hard color to get out . Ive been in the same position ! I used to have jet black hair and than I got sick of it and the only way I could get it out was bleaching than when I did my hair felt gummy and unhealthy so than I had to cut it. Just wait it out or take the risk ..

There are color removers, effasol for example, that can remove the color. They aren't made up of bleach but act in a similar way, and can leave your hair in a not fabulous condition, but not as bad as bleach. I would recommend having a salon that is good with color correction do it. And be prepared that with either bleach or effasol your hair will be an uneven shade and extremely red because that is the underlying pigment at those dark levels of color. Color removers take out all pigment, natural and artificial, so it won't remove just the black dye and bring you right back to your natural color. I would recommend a color remover first over bleach and just try to bust through a couple levels lighter. What's left wont be pretty, as I said about the unevenness and red tones, so you will need to then apply another color on top.

Color Oops! I used it and it worked amazing. My hair isn't damaged at all and it's only ten bucks. Just make sure to dye it the color that you want after using Color Oops (leave dye in for ONLY FIVE MINUTES). Color Oops is sensitive enough so you are able to dye same day.

If you don't redye after using Color Oops it will return to black! Be careful

I had black hair for a long time. It took me two years to grow it out. My hair dresser told me to not even bother with strippers because it's worse for your hair than bleach. I had to cut A LOT of hair in that 2 years. Thankfully, I was in my short hair phase, but it still makes for awkward roots no matter what.

Just removed my blk dye. Had two years of numerous blk dye jobs on the hair. Went to salon and she stripped color twice then had to bleach whole head to lighted a bit. Then half highlights and color job. Now I am 250 broke and a Carmel light med/brown. Love it.

yes. if you find a nice safe stripper youll have to do it a couple times and sit under a dryer or blowdryer for 20 min. i used color brilliance it didnt seem to damage my hair i used it 3 times and it brought me to an UGLY burnt orange. then we did the bleach and THATS what fried my hair. i just wanted to be blonde and that takes time and patience which i dont have so here i am blaxk again lol :)

Try 1 part raw honey mixed with water. Cover the honey mixture with a lid for 30-50 minutes. Then after that cover your hair with it. For an hour up to three. Some girls do 6 hours. Wash it out really really well. Do this a couple of times and you will see great results. You can buy raw honey off of Amazon.
Or buy clarifying shampoo and wash with it two times a week. It is very harsh but it will help. Better than using a color stripper.

Oh if you do the honey treatment, cover your head with plastic wrap and then put a shower cap over that. Do not use heat or sunlight when you do that!

My hairdresser told me the same thing as Ariane's. It took almost 4 hours of chair time to strip all my black out and take it down to a cool toned brown. Some of what's being suggested here sounds like it could leave you with some very straw-like hair. I suggest seeing a pro before you fry your hair and end up having to chop.

I colored my hair bright red a couple weeks ago and I hated it so I bought color oops at target. It was $10. Out returned my hair to it's natural color (blonde). I hope it works for you!

crush up vitamin c tablets, mix with head and shoulders, scrub scalp and hair from root to end with this and leave in shower cap for 2 hours

It's best to get it stripped by a hairdresser, they should be able to strip it back to your natural colour
