If I wanted to get rid of my black hair dye (and ultimately I know the answer is to go to a salon, but I'd rather not if I don't have to), what would happen if I used a permanent hair colourant (which has peroxide/ammonia stuff in it) in a lighter shade of brown, would it lift the black at all, or would it just be utterly pointless?
I might go to my local salon that has free (or cheap) trainee sessions for colouring if there's no way of doing it myself.

I have been to a few salons and they have quoted me about £150-200 (!!) which would involve stripping the black (numerous times if need be), bleach and then a brown dye. It's a long process and pretty much fries your hair. Black permanent dye is just the worst thing to try and get rid of. However, my boyfriend's sister actually got rid of her black by using those pre-lightening kits which Boots etc sell. I've read the packets and they apparently remove even dark dye from hair so I'm very tempted to have a go!
So basically no, the brown dye will do nothing to the black. Also I have enquired about this process at trainee/model nights and they all wouldn't do it and advised a more senior hairdresser.
