Going from black to brown hair.

Hey guys,
I really need youre help.
So I dyed my hair black; I have done it a few times before and it looked good but this time for some reason it doesnt, its too dark and I am hating it. I want brown hair, so yesterday (just a day after dying it black) I tried using a light brown shade to get a dark brown effect (thought if I use a lighter shade it may give me the dark brownish effect), however no change has been made. :frowning: Idk what to do because atm I am hating my hair. Please give me some suggestions; I don’t want to spend a fortuen and go to a salon or use bleching/striping products.
Someone has told me If I put lemon on my hair it should get lighter after 3-4 washed, and even dish soap works. :S
If you have any suggestions please please give them to me!
Thank you

Re: Going from black to brown hair.

When you have a hair disaster, you should go to a professional salon to resolve it.

Any time you go lighter in color, you will need bleach, esp. with the dark hair that we desis have. The salon will bleach your hair, then apply the color that you want. Even if you're trying to go back to your natural shade, if your hair color right now is darker, they will have to bleach it first, then re-color it.
