Dying Black hair to white? HELP!!!!!?

BE CAREFUL. You have dye in your hair which is tough to strip out.

You MUST go to a salon to do this or you risk losing your hair.

Not being "un positive".. just being very honest from years of heartbreaking experience and hair knowledge. I understand this isn't what you want to hear... but you are seriously risking your hair. Over the counter products are harsh, cheap and do NOT handle dyed hair well, if at all. You may wind up with a shade of grey if your hair doesn't break.

Also, what is your natural colour? If it's dark, there is no way this will work out of a box. You'll need a few visits to a salon.

Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.

PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that don’t contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they don’t, are not being honest. “Big brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,” she explains.

Bad Hair Habit: Stripng Out Hair Dye

Smart hair care includes what not to do.

Then, you must recolor to a desirable shade. This is very stressful on the hair."
