    You can try lifter there is one called "colour b4" which contains no bleach, ammonia or peroxide so will not really damage your hair too much (especially compared to getting it stripped).

    If not try an anti-dandruff shampoo such as head and shoulders as it contains tar which will help the colour to fade more quickly (use it regularly or leave it on for a few hours, or both). This is better than the more unconventional methods like lemon juice because it is obviously much less acidic and will condition your hair (too low a PH will damage your scalp as well as your hair),

    Next time you dye it try a level 4/5 dye so it doesn't come out black in the future :D

    i cant tell you HOW many times ive done this :L

    you either;

    wet your hair quite alot and then rub in lemon juice (vinegar kinda works better but it doesnt smell as nice haha) but leave on the lemon juice/vinegar for like 5-10mins then wash out.

    orrrrr

    go to a shop called "Super drug" i dont know if you have it where you live (basically like boots really) and get 'hair colour remover' and apply that like shampoo. it cmoes in like packets so id buy two.

    hope i helped :) best answer? (a) xxxx
