People who have followed my situation, or have a similar problem, here is my moment of truth....
I have pre-lightener on my hair, it's nearly time to rinse it off...my
hair isn't falling out :D in fact, it's really strong, i've just
been tugging it. The colour so far is orangey/browny just as I
wanted (to be able to dye over). I'll let you know the end result
very shortly.......ooooh

Hi there...wow! I have bright copper funky hair!!! The tips
are slighter darker, but it's precisely what I wanted. My hair
has been left strong and sleek, despite it just being bleached :D
I reccommend L'Oreal Super Blonde!
The colour I want is Ultra Violet Brown to go over this orange-ness....although it looks pretty cool on it's own!

Hi, me again...
Just thought I'd let you know that I left my bleached orangey hair for
24 hours before i dyed over it (i know you're supposed to leave it
longer but I started college the day after). I put an intensive
conditioning mask on overnight (although my hair wasn't left in bad
condition anyway) and in the morning washed it all out. My hair
is now red/purple with brown undertones and I absolutely love it.
It's great to get that black out after 2 years of trying without
bleach.
As long as you're careful and you treat your hair well beforehand and
after, pre-lightening the hair is a simple and effective process.
It is not guaranteed to work on black hair as well as on lighter hair,
but it worked superbly for moi. That's L'Oreal Super Blonde I
used.
Thanks for all your advice everyone.
Louie
