You need to bleach it first. You can get bleach from Sally's Beauty Supply, or a drug store. You may want to do this on a Friday night, so your hair can rest 2 days, then color it on Sunday. Check your hair frequently while the bleach is on, it doesn't have to lose all the color , just light enough for your new shade of brown to be the tone you want.

Don't bleach. You'll screw up your hair. There are kits that you can buy in drugstores that will remove haircolor from your hair. Look for them in beauty supply stores. Use that according to directions, then give your hair a few days. Then, try a new color. I'd go temporary first. You may decide you hate it and want to try blonde or red next.

How do I dye hair that has been dyed black back to a lighter brown color?

There are a few ways to strip your haircolor, and NO don't bleach it. One is with denatured alcohol and conditioner, but that only works on certain formulas. The other is with a chemical stripper.

Either way, you need to have a professional stylist do this. Tell him or her exactly which brand you used to color it so that they use the right process to strip it. Done yourself and done wrong, your hair will fry and break off in your hands...which is what bleaching it will do for you.

Once you strip it and get it back to your natural color, condition it weekly with a deep conditioner and avoid highlighting or other coloring for several months. Stripping the hair will leave it very vulnerable to damage if you don't have a professional stylist use the right products on it.
