You might have to strip your hair but I'm not sure.

Talk to a stylist about the best ways for them to help get you there. It's not something you want to do at home, as you could potentially wind up with an awful orange and have to spend double what you would if you just started out in salon. But that is a great article!!

You'll have to wash out as much of the black dye as you can, give it time to fade and all that. Then to remove most of what's left after that you'll need to use a hair color remover kit. I'd recommend taking your time with these steps, that's one of the most important things about changing hair colors from dark to light. In order to preserve the health of your hair you've got to take it slow. Once you have as much of the dye removed as you can get out with washing, time, and one or two rounds of remover, you should start conditioning your hair in preparation for bleaching. That means washing less often and styling with heat and harsh products as little as possible. learn to love your natural texture, and find some good ways to style it without heat. trust me, there's tons :) Start lifting the color gradually. You may even want to start off with soap caps instead of straight bleach. It will help you get a better feel for how your hair responds to bleaching and how much time you'll need. This is where you should determine if your hair is even capable of going that light. Sometimes it's just not possible. Depending on how dark and how resilient your hair is, you can use 30 or 40 volume bleach to get the majority of the work done. Try to do the big applications only once or twice, with plenty of time an conditioning in between. Then, if its still not at the level of lightness you want, you can go back to soap caps to gently lift the remaining pigment. Keep in mind that you will probably want to tone it after beaching, so don't worry about it being the right color. Just the right lightness. Toning will brighten it some as well, so it doesn't necessarily have to be exactly light enough either. Dye mixed with conditioner and purple shampoo are my preferred methods, because they are gentler and non permanent, giving you less damage as well as the ability to experiment with the different tones of blonde you might like. That is more or less how I took my hair from dyed dark mahogany-brown to a very very light blonde. One more thing I forgot to note is that if you've been ding your hair dark for a long time and have several applications of color on the length or ends, going blonde will not be safe. The hair would be too saturated with color and too damaged to withstand the bleaching process. Another note is that once the hair has been lightened, it no longer needs to be bleached again, unlike how you might refresh a faded color with another application of dye. Hope this helps! best of luck :) and when in doubt consult a professional.

Go to a salon!! I JUST JUST JUST JUST went through this. Everyone's hair reacts differently. For some people a color remover works and for others it doesn't. It depends on what kind of hair color you used, how long it's been that color and so on and so forth. Hair color is a science. It takes real chemistry to give you what you want and not make all your hair fall off!! I'm not saying it can't be done by any means. I'm just a saying PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE see a pro.

It is doable tho, but your going to lose a lot of length. There's no way around it.

It took about 5 months, it was expensive, but My hairdresser did successfully reach blonde.
