Step One
As far as I've tried, this is the only dye that has actually lightened the black dye.
It's Called "Schwarzkopf NORDIC Blonde Ultimate Lightener L1++"
Make sure you get the Ultimate lightener rather than Extreme or anything else, as this is the most powerful in the series, and is recommended for dark hair.
I used this just like a normal hair dye, read the instructions etc and left the dye on my hair for 45 minutes, massaging my head every now and then to make sure the dye was on every single strand of black hair!
When I rinsed it off in the shower and conditioned my hair, It didn't feel as dry and damaged as I expected, it seemed to be quiet fine!
But as I'd expected it to, when I dried my hair, it was now an orange color. Which actually did not bother me at all because I was so happy to be finally successful in getting my hair lighter. The only thing I had to do now was dye it to something less vibrant!

Step Two

My hair is now my natural color at last and I am so pleased I didn't have to spend money at the salon. In total I spent $20 USD. - Ten dollars for each box.
Hopefully I've helped others!
