black hair crisis!!!!??

ok so ever sense I died my hair black (naturally its a medium-brown)

my hair has been falling out like crazy and now my brown roots are growing in at the top and some at the bottom and i want to strip my hair but ive heard rumors that even if its done by a professional it would still fry my hair...is this true??

if it is than are there any other alternatives besides bleach??

and if it isnt true how much does color stripping cost???

please help and thnx so much,

Both stripping and bleaching will damage your hair.  Unfortunate but true, it doesn't matter who does it in terms of damage, however, and I"m saying this from experience (not my head, but my friend's) do NOT try to bleach or strip black hair yourself, it'll turn some kind of weird color (hers was orange) and if you think it's falling out now, you aint seen nothin' yet.  my hair is black currently (with large amounts of blond root). I asked my stylist about stripping it out and she said it would take at least three processings to get anywhere close to my natural color (yours probobly won't take that much if it's darker to begin with).  So yeah, get it done professionally, if at all, and expect some damage.  hope it works out okay.  :-)
