If you bleach your hair from black, it will take several times to get the black out and it will FRY your hair, I did it for my highlights.

Yeah you can still lighten it with bleach. It will come out an orange-ish color though.

I recommend not bleaching your hair while it's black.. no it didn't wash out... black doesn't wash out. I did this and then bleached it... it turned all shades of red and orange. I bleached my hair a few more times and couldn't get past the orange... I died it a purplish red color...

I had to continually die my hair to keep it from looking crazy. You should really seek a professional on this one... I ended up bleaching my hair about 8 more times... finally got it blond ad destroyed it in the process... same goes for trying to get red out..... I couldn't even get a brush thru my hair... I just cut it all off... it was really short...

You should go to a salon and get a color stripper. If they don't have them you can get a soap cap, which is a combo of bleach, developer, and shampoo. It's not as harsh on your hair as straight up bleach is. So if you don't want to go really light it will lift it up enough to color you hair a different color.

Please, please PLEASE don't use bleach. There's a good product out there called "Color Oops" which can be found at most drug stores. It won't trash your hair like bleach will. It will, however, make your hair more porous. I had dyed my hair black for many years and did the bleaching thing, which was a huge mistake and I ended up having to get my hair cut like a boy's and let it grow out again. I got tired of really dark hair and tried color oops which lightened it considerably but after you use it you're probably going to want to do another coloring. If your hair is still too dark you can do another application of Color Oops and apply a new shade of dye, but get a light shade or you'll probably end up with darker hair than you wanted. To achieve the light/medium brown shade that I have now, I had to use a dark blonde dye. I tried light brown before, but it actually made my hair dark brown. Anyway, whatever you do, AVOID BLEACH LIKE THE PLAGUE. And no, soap powder won' t take out black dye either. Good luck to you.
