Should I dye my hair lighter for summer???

I dyed my hair black in january and my hair is naturally dark brown/black, and I tried dying it a light brown but only my roots got dyed, what should I do to get all my hair light. Is there any way I can do it at home without damaging my hair? Some one said I was going to have to strip the color, what does that mean??

    go to a professional salon and have them do it. they'll probably have to do a two step process where they bleach the hair and then dye it the colour you want.

    I love the black color too and the very same thing that you mentioned is making me stay away from it. I am sorry to tell you that you need to have it bleached, which is very damaging. Try to have it done by a professional and make sure that they give you a good trim afterward.

    umm i dont know about stripping the color but bleaching always worked if you want to go drastically blonde...i dyed my hair with henna before and it took almost a year to eventually make it back to dark blond no matter what you do...dont do it at home....its worth the money for someone to do it right GOOD LUCK!!!

    If you want to lighten Jet black hair without any damage you should consult your local hair salon. Don't skimp on price remember, you wear your hair EveryDay its much more important then that $100 pair of pants.

    Good Luck,

    you should just let the sun take care of it..or maybe you should have never dyed your hair black..if not then have it perfessionally dyed..
