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

 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???

There is another alternative, called ColorFix.  I didn't suggest it to you before because it doesn't always work (depends on what dye you used - I forget which ones, I'm not a pro, just a do-it-yourselfer).  It also doesn't always work on black either. 

Why don't you try washing your hair with these things?  Thay can remove some color sometimes, and it may get it to fade enough that you like it maybe?  Try mixing baking soda half and half with your shampoo and washing with that.  Try also washing repeatedly with dishwashing liquid.  These things have helped people fade their color in the past.  They will dry the heck out of your hair, so after you use them you should condition really well with a heavy conditioner.  You may even want to put mayonnaise on your hair for an hour afterwards (fatty mayo not low fat, and not miracle whip either), then shampoo it out and condition heavily...that will help put some moisture back in your hair because the baking soda and dish liquid will strip all of the moisture out.
