Before you go any further, go over to r/hairdye and get some advice on how to fix it. Because often times there's a way out if you're patient, but black dye all over is not going to be the best route to end up lighter again eventually. If nothing else, at least choose a semi-permanent rather than a permanent color.

Tbh I wanted black hair one day so I won’t mind doing it. It takes a lot making it lighter but it worked so I’ll see what I can do but thanks for the advice :D

Either way, r/hairdye is a great resource. And if you use professional color rather than box dye, you can usually reverse it/color over it easier later. (And it's often cheaper per coloring than the box dye too depending on what you get.)

I don’t have the money to go to a hair salon tbh, I live in an apartment and work a minimum wage job. I took almost all sparing I could have to do that. I can only try something to fix my hair one last time before some weeks, or even months.

Oh, I didn't mean to get it professionally colored. You can go to a beauty supply store yourself - somewhere llike Sally's Beauty Supply - and buy the same type of color they would use in a salon. The developer is like $10 for enough to do several color treatments, and then the individual dyes (the color part) are typically around $4-8. If you have shorter hair, those can sometimes do 2 treatments.

The sales people working at my local Sally's have always been super helpful with their advice too. So even if you don't buy stuff, they could possibly point you in the right direction.
