Using store brand dyes is very hard to make your hair lighter, making it darker with them is easy but lighter is hard. I would suggest choosing a color that is just a shade lighter than your hair now and use that. Then two weeks later get one that's one shade lighter than that one and use it. Continue going lighter and lighter until you reach your desired shade. You wont be able to go blond or anything but a brown shade is possible...

try lightening it with lemon juice before coloring

I have jet black hair too. I put a really white blonde into it and it turns it a brown-ish. Over time it turns red, but then I redye it and it goes back to normal brown. Hope that helped!

To get any other color on your hair your gonna have to strip out the dark color first ( as in lighten it), Im pretty sure that they dont make color that will lift color or cover hair that dark. ..so it will have to be bleached..which if done yourself will damage it and turn it some funky colors. . then you'll have to go back and color it the color you want.. it will take many steps and shouldnt be done in a short period of time.

I wouldnt risk doing it yourself, you should wait until you have money saved up to pay for it to be professionally done.

And just think how lucky you are to have hair that dark naturally- -lots of people pay for it and cant even pull it off.

If you have Jet black hair and you want to make it brown you'll need to use a blondish color and leave it in for an extra ten minutes, but start from the ends and work your way to the roots. If you start from the roots you'll get that "skunk stripe" down the part of your hair.

If you want to go way lighter you'll have to use a bleaching kit to get it to the light brown or dark blonde. You can get one from any beauty supply store.

Sounds like you probably have to bleach it first, then color it.

I have dyed my hair jet black now for over 10 years, and if I want it any other way, I wind up having to bleach it first.

You can buy a pouch of powder bleach and mix it with developer (I suggest 40 volume for such dark hair). Note that developers for bleach and color are different. You can get supplies at Sally's or other beauty supply store. Read the bleach pouch and the developer bottle before you buy them. You can also buy a bleach kit if you want. Either way you will spend about $10-15 for supplies. (Don't forget gloves!!)

L'Oreal Quick Blue works well for me. If it is your first time bleaching, I would also suggest picking up a moisturizing deep conditioning pack to use after coloring. Just read all the instructions and follow them carefully, you should be fine!

Also I have very thick hair, which sounds like you may too. Bleaching will change the texture of your hair at least a little. I use one of those conditioning packs on my hair about once a week, they infuse a lot of moisture to your hair and protect it too. (They will cost about a dollar, and they are worth it!) Mane + Tail type is awesome for very thick hair......but they are all good because what you need is moisture + protection, they all do this. Hope this helps.
