    Getting your hair from Black to blonde is NOT a single process, you have to lighten it up in about 2-3 processes in order to get it that light and then TONE it to remove the orange/yellow undertones. .

    Here's what you can do. Go to the Pharmacy or beauty supply store and buy something called "Color Oops" found in the same aisle as all the boxed hair colors (Runs for about $10 bucks), or you can go to www.developus.com and find it there. That will remove that black and lift your hair to light without having to bleach it (Cover your nose, it smells really bad)... After using the Color Oops then if it's not light enough you can go ahead and bleach it.

    If you go to a beauty supply store, they sell "Kaleidocolors" bleach that works really nice on lightening bleach along with wither 20vol or 30vol peroxide (Runs for about $12 a tub or $4 a package)

    Here is a video one ogf my girls did that explains the process of lightening hair that might help in your case. She explains everything to the T:

    It doesn't how much you spend of the bleaching kit your hair will go orange first. If you bleach it again after that it will go yellowy/orange. You also need a colour stripper. Apparently you are supposed to get moisturizer afro cream for your hair, wash it a rub in the cream. Do not was out. Then blow dry your hair letting your hair heat up so it absorbs the cream. Then strip your hair. Leave it for a day, using the cream again. Then bleach. When it is orange which should only be one bleach used a dark to medium ash blonde to counteract the brightness. It might not be the shade you want but it's a start. Let your hair rest for a while and add lighter colours over time, preferably as foils in your hair. I heard it works well. The first time I bleached my hair I did it the wrong way but this is the way I will try next. Good Luck!

    Don't do it yourself go to a salon they have good products that won't damage your hair. Bleaching kits at the store leave your hair orange not blonde.

    We like blonde hair or red but it depends on what the individual looks like.

    I'd say, if money is no object, see a professional at a salon when undergoing such a drastic change. It needs to be done gradually, at the very least, to come out right.

    DEFFINATELY go to a beauty supply place and get some stripper/toner.

    Then if you want it BLEACH BLONDE obviously get bleach.

    If you want it like a golden blonde.

    buy colour.

    But it is possible.

    i've done it TONS of times.

    Answer my hair question please?

    I think blonde hair is actually sexiest, but brown hair can end up being really sexy too. Black hair is actually never sexy. It's just really uninteresting and boring and flatters few constitution. Blonde hair looks best with blue eyes.
