Putting light hair color over a darker color wont do anything, For a lighter tone you can use bleach with a light toner... If your looking to go just a shade or two lighter then I would recommend washing your hair with a good shampoo and baking soda to get allot of the color out, then using a color stripper (which will take your hair to a copper/orange color), Then a lighter hair color.. If you go to Sally's beauty supplies they can help you find a good one. If you are going to use the bleach make sure you get a toner, and make sure you get a Violet mix in avoid redness/brassiness.. If you go to a hair supplies store they can defiantly help you pick out the right things and help you understand how to use them. For damage after wards I would recommend a hot oil treatment and a conditioning mask called "Aussie 3 minute miracle" You can find this at any target or wall mart.. Of course nothing beats getting it fix professionally.

You should go to a salon and let the professionals handle it. Bleaching hair isn't the easiest thing to do at home. You might end up with hair you can't live with seeing every single day.

There's a way to stip the hair dye out but it does way more damage than dying it. You could try bleaching it, but I suggest getting it done professionally. Black hair is hard to work with if you do it yourself.
