Buy a lightening cream, you do not have to go blonde just lighten it till the strong dark color is gone, then put color on it, keep in mind the color is going to gram fast as your hair will be porous. Also roots are going to be hard to keep up if your hair is black, so do something manageable.

Assuming you want to go lighter....

Years ago, you would use a hair lightener which contained peroxide...which would basically bleach the hair first (not the bleach for fabrics type, however), and the hair would be a shade of blonde. Then you would dye the hair the color you want. (Note of caution: You may not want to use peroxide if your hair texture has been chemically altered, such as curly permed, straight permed, etc) Beauticians may have another way of priming hair for taking color. Clairol's Frost and Tip can add light to medium brown highlights to black or dark-colored hair.
