This is going to be really hard to do yourself I would really suggest saving up money to go to a salon and getting it done.

Oh I didn't see that!
If you're bleaching your hair it should come with directions in the box. You can use a color stripper from a beauty salon or something I've used one and they are soo simple! To get an ombre you want to leave the bottom color in the longest and the higher it goes the less time you should let it sit if that makes sense. I use to have a reverse ombre so that's what I did ☺

Thank you so much I watched a few YouTube videos and all the girls did theirs in a period of three weeks and I don't want to wait that long with yellow, orange, white hair lol I'm going to a salon to hopefully do it all in one shot lol.

Haha good luck! I didn't have any problems with the orange tone so hopefully you won't! Also use a leave in conditioner often so that you can keep your hair nice and soft.

Ok thank you :) but if I do go to a salon can they take my hair from black to white in one visit? I know I won't have the money to go back more than once.

Before you bleach you should strip the color first since it is naturally blonde. You can find a good color stripper for $10 at walmart called Color Oops and I'm sure there are others at Sallys. By the way the directions are going to say to rinse for a very long time and that is extremely important! After the color stripper breaks down the dye you need to rinse it off for at least 45 minutes, making sure you are rinsing your entire head of hair and not just the top section! This step will bring you at least a few shades lighter, maybe even back to your natural color! And if you still need to bleach afterwards, it will be much easier since it isn't as dark and has little, if any, dye still left in it. Good luck hope I helped!

Maressa, striping your hair will bleach it not take it to your natural color, atleast that's what it did for me. And Brianna yayy I can't wait to see it! I think you'll look beautiful with it 😍

Aww thank you :) I'm too afraid I'll ruin my hair so I'm not even going to try to do it myself so I'm going to have a salon do everything from bleaching it white and the blue ombré it's just better that way I'm not that neat with hair it never sections for me right Nd I can't even tease it cause I guess it too soft? But my ends are dry? And I have really long hair everyone says I look like I'm wearing extensions but In not :(

Ok so even with going to a they're not going to be able to bleach out layers black color in one visit without turning your hair to mush. I would suggest doing a purple or red color for ombre because those colors don't need to be bleached out as much!

Don't use the color oops. It only removes your most recent dye job and since you've been dying it black for awhile now that's just wasting money. I would recommend going to the salon and explaining to your hair dresser what it is that you want to do. That way she can tell you if it's possible to be done in one sitting, or if you'll need multiple trips to achieve the colors you want. Hope this helped :)

Yeah I'm just worried I'll have to go multiple times because if I do have to do that I won't have the money to keep going back but if that is the case I will probably buy bleach and stuff and see if my mom can do it cause she bleaches hair sometimes and then go to a salon my final bleaching and to put color in

Or you can get it done at a beauty school for a discount. I'd say don't get your hopes up if you have layers of black on your hair. bleach it and see what happens. have other color options at hand. your hair doesn't have to be super light for a semi unless you want a pastel color.

I was going to have a consultation with a salon to see if they can do it but if they can't I will bleach it two times on my own and go to a salon for the third bleaching and color because I want the top to be white.
