Can i dye black hair brown somehow?

I colored my hair myself at home, it was suppose to be dark brown but its came out black, I mean Black. I hate it, I'm getting married soon, I want my brown hair back. Can I just put a light brown in it so lightened it up a little?

well you can color one chunk of your hair with a brown marker i't a stupid idiea but i's an adiea

go to an actual hair dresser.. this time.. get it lightened there. that way it doesnt seriously look bad on your big day!

You Can wash it with hot water so the color can fade or just get a light or medium brown..it should work! Good LUck!

if you wash your hair with head and shoulders it will strip most of the black out
i to did this and this is what my hairdresser told me to do.
and it really worked

i suggest a hairdresser--i'm in the Exact situation--marriage comming up and everything
i got mine fixed today. they will frost your hair (to bleach it) ask for frosting not bleach because the bleach will cause more damage. then it will be completely blonde and you have to dye it brown on top of that. if your hair comes out orange fromt he frosting, don't worry--just re-frost it and it will be fine.

I would recomend you go get it perfesonaly done
because you have to remove pigments.
because I when blond and then
wanted it dark brown
and they had to put
the pigments back in my hair
so black to dark brown
you have to remove the
pigments.

hmm
if your hair is black...
then the only way to get it brown is to bleach it = )
you can buy bleach at stores
you apply it to your hair like normal dye
wait for 30 mins and wash your hair
afterwards your hair will look BLONDE
then you get the shade of brown you want on your big day
put that in your hair
leave it inb for 30 mins or so
and then wash it with cold water
and you have to EXACT type of brown you want

hope I helped 3

I have a question for hhigbee. I did the same thing and my hair is a lot darker than I wanted it to come out. its pretty black. Is there I certain type of head and shoulders that makes it fade or is it just any head and shoulders shampoo?

Use Colorfix ($13.00 at Sally's). I dyed my hair black for 2 years, put the colorfix on it and it stripped it down to a red color without ANY damage. Then I colored over the red with a permanent dark ash blonde (if you use brown it will come out darker than expected, looks like black). The ash blonde + red = a nice medium brown... good luck!

first wash your hair a lot so it lets the colour fade a bit
then to get your hair to the colour you want dye it a shade lighter. if you want to go really light dye your hair a shade lighter every two weeks until you get the colour you want.
