How to make my dyed black hair lighter?

My original hair is dark brown to balck. I have been dying it black( due to grey hair) but now I want to change it to a lighter color(light to dark brown so that grey hair won't show up as much) but not sure how to go about it. Also recently I wanted hightlights so I got it done but the top of my head did not take the hightlights but the bottom part of the hair did.. So now I feel like not only I have black and grey but also lighter brown at the ends.. How do I cover the grey in a situation like this.. I don't want to bleach or have any harsh treatment to my hair.Help.. Thanks Nina

It depends on when the last time you dyed your hair was. The bottom layer of my hair was dyed black. Its all dark all over anyways, but i went to a salon to get itlightened to a light brown . They said that the only way they could get rid of the color was to strip it, or bleach, and they couldnt and that it would damage my hair too much. They couldnt do anything, but instead they told me to wait a while and not put any more color on it. Even if you try to lighten it with another color it wont work because color cannot lift color. Just keep washing your hair in hot water, with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of the color, and they told me to even take something like dawn dishwashing liquid and wash it, but you should make sure you condition it as much as you can. i know it can be trouble to wait, but wait one to two months and go back to a salon to get it lightened, and in the end it will be better for you.

Most do it your self hair dyes are now made with a stronger chemical to cover Grey's.

You can buy one of those highlighting kits at the local drugstore and apply it. The directions will state for Grey hair apply 10 minutes longer than the average 30 minutes.

I have Grey's and my husband applied the high lighten kit and I did not find any Grey's when he did it.

Good luck

Lightening black is an extremely difficult process. It may even take more than one sitting to get your hair as light as you want. I would recommend going to a professional to get this done. Once you have the color you want, you could probably do the upkeep on the color yourself.
