Will my hair turn to straw if I bleach out the black? I want blond hair but I'm afraid because I just re dyed it black, and it's starting to look eaten up. I'm an idiot and didn't even think about it before I dyed it... But if I do bleach it, can I still save my hair?

Put treatments in it regularly, and things to make it healthier such as conditioners to leave in, and protectors for hair straightening.
Do that for a week, bleach it. It will turn into an orange colour, not a pleasant colour. Then to restore your hair put a few treatments in it.
After another week or two, bleach it again. It should go a white blonde this time, and after a few days again with restoring it's health get a actual hair dye and dye it the colour you want.
As long as you keep restoring your hair and take extremely good care of it, maybe don't straighten it for a few days to take stress off, your hair should be fine.
Honestly, I'd get it done professionally.
If you don't want to do this, follow what mechanimal said.
Or you could just grow the black out?
