Or your ends will just turn orange and go no lighter. In this case you may still want to cut the ends off.

I strongly suggest you go to a salon, just don't try it a home. I've tried going from dark hair to blonde and it pretty much didn't work and ruined my hair. You would have to bleach it out because black is the hardest things to get rid of. But it won't turn out blonde, it'll turn orange, and if you try to bleach it again it will just turn yellow and fry your hair and you will hardly be able to get a comb through it. It also won't hold color after wards from being so damaged.

bleaching out is the only way to get blonde from dark, you however will have to strip your hair with a color remover first and then bleach. lots of reconstructive conditioner to follow.
