Brown to blonde

Im naturally quite a dark brunette. I want to dye my hair a Blonde like Paris Hilton's colour, but im worried it will go a yellowy gingery Blonde as my hair is so dark and I don't want to ruin it by bleaching it and then bleaching it again. Is there any...

other way?

GO 4 IT!! im in the same bout as u,, im a dark brown, and about 2 wks ago I decided I wanted to go blonde. eveybody told me that it would be a mistake and itll fry my hair and that itll take to much time. But I went ahead and went to the salon and got highlights. they really arnt as light as id like them to be, so I think im going to buy a home kit and put more blonde in it myself... just think, if it turns out bad you can always go back to the beautiful brown, you once were. and by the way I've been brunette and blonde... blondes dont have more fun, and BRUNETTES are just as pretty, I just decided I was ready for a change!

if you bleach it it will become very blonde. So blonde it will be way to bright!!!! AAAHHHH noone wants that. Instead play it safe and keep it brunette but maybe put highlights like blonde on a lighter brown. Maybe also Cut it. Get a new style without risking you're hairs colour, look, and life!!! But the blonde highlights shouldnt to bright also. and when you bleach you're hair it will be hard to get the old color back. It will look to fake because you're skin color is made to match you're hair.

Bleached blonde hair looks so cheap, and it totally wrecks your hair. Trust me, if you do it you wil be very sorry! Brown hair is beautiful, shiny, and in fashion right now. The days of cheap, trashy blondes went out in the eighties. Guys like girls that look more natural, sexy, sure of themselves, and...CLASSY. NOT trashy! Please trust me on this...DON'T DO IT! I actually dyed my hair raven black, I'm beautiful, and I get more looks than any cheap blonde does. Blondes are a dime a dozen. Do your own thing, don't look like a million OTHER girls. And...it WILL wreck your hair, and it WILL look like crap.

Bleach blonde hair is gross ( unless it's natural), dark hair is beautiful, you should leave it. However, if it really means that much to you, don't go more than 2 shades lighter at a time. Leave it a couple weeks, then dye it again until you have the colour you want. That way it won't turn orange and you'll get the results you want.

my hair is naturally dark but i have to pay alot of money so my hair looks more of a natural blonde. Aveda is the best the hair dye is made from barley and it well actually make your hair healthier looking but again it is very expensive.

you CAN do this, and it can be done on your own, but it will take patience and work. don't listen to those spoil sports who are telling you what to do with your own hair. if you want to be blonde, then go for it! bleach blondes do not all look trashy. however, if your hair is very dark, it will take a long time for it to become blonde without ruining your hair. i recommend putting highlights in it (which you can do yourself with a kit or at a salon. i have NEVER had good results in a salon, believe it or not, the color is always wrong.) you can go to a beauty supply store or a drug store to get a highlighting kit, and if it's too brassy, there are toners that you can use to bring the color around to where you want it. to really lighten your hair without destroying it, you will have to gradually add more highlights with rest periods in between highlighting sessions , and you will have to seriously condition your hair. i highly recommend using kerastase's vita ciment and forcintense. it will fix your hair. period. get it off e-bay, much much cheaper! after you highlight your hair several times, you may find that you're happy with it having a lighter appearance. highlight around your face, and you'll brighten up everything. if you do decide to make it all blonde, it will be much much easier to lighten from there than to do a full head bleach application. believe me, that is not fun to do on your own. also, keep the bleach off your scalp, unless it specifically says on scalp bleach. bleach is strong stuff and it can eat right through your scalp's skin. your hair will go through several reddish phases before it gets to blonde. do not leave bleach on your hair past the banana yellow stage. it will destroy your hair. rinse it immediately and add a toner to take it to the shade you want. you can also highlight further if you want a brighter appearance. and remember, kerastase!!! it will forgive all your sins. good luck, and try to recruit a friend to help you, there's nothing worse than discovering missed spots!

I went to an Aveda salon and went from medium long brown hair to short and bright light blonde, it took three visits to get the degree of lightness I desired. I am feeling more soft and elegant and my hair has never been more manageable. I use good aveda products and take great care of it. I think it is alot of fun to reinvent oneself and take it up a notch just to feel alive, by the way I am 56 years old and a grandmother of eleven.....it's never to late to simply enjoy being a girl!!! When I was in my twenties I could not afford the upkeep of going light. I will probably go back to brown, maybe in the fall!!! Go ahead if you feel led, it is a sunny feeling.

It will not look like crap!!!! Bitch!!! My hair is a bleach blond and im not trashy nor cheap.Do not listen to her .You can have it bleached then dyed a med blonde with lblonde and realy blonde highlights that is what I do it realy looks like my real color. I get soooo many complements on it and my hair is to the middle of my back and in layers .So just but quality stuff and take care of it you will be fine and love your fresh look.Good luck.Let us know what you do... Im married and we have 3 kids . Last I checked it was not trashy. And black is just as fake looking . Also ask any hair styles and they will tell you black is just as bad if not worse!!!!!You will NEVER get your color back!!!!!!And BLONDES DOOO HAVE ALL THE FUUNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! I give my hair a break in the winter to a light brown dark blonde with highlights and spring and summer I liven it up. U will feel more alive trust me.

Yes you do not have to have damaged hair just because you bleach it blonde and wear extentions all it takes is a good colourist and a good hair extention person that specialises in hair extentions i reccomend weaving not glued on as the extention will get longer when your real hair grows as it is weaved to your natural hair and needs tightenng every 2 - 3 mnths or so i had short hair and this is how i grew it i had it in for 12mnths and now have my very own long hair its well worth it hope this helps

OKay I am doing this RIGHT NOW! .. I do this every summer.. my dad is from Peru and I have very dark brown hair, practically black! ... so this is what I do, and I do it by myself.. first I buy a highlighting kit and put those ugly reddish/orangish highlights in my hair that are supposed to be blonde. Then I do the all over bleaching with a kit.. that makes it a light orange/tangerine with yellow highlights (from the highlighting kit) and thennnnn I use a toner (violet takes out the brassiness -yellow/tangerine).. and then finally it looks blonde but it looks sorta store bought cause it's real whitish greyish... so thennnnnn I pick the blonde color I like.. make sure it says N for Natural.. no A for ASh cause that will turn green.. yuck.. and then I dye it the color I want.. I DON'T RECOMMENT DOING IT ALL IN ONE DAY !! cause that will way dry you out, trust me that's what happened the first time I did it... but if you are just dying to... if you take a really good conditioner and lather it into your hair and just let it sit for as long as you have to sit with conditioner on your hair and let it soak right in, it will bond to your now VERY porous hair.. so's anyway.. that's what I do.. and it looks great and it has low lights and highlights and it is very blonde.. it usually costs about thirty bucks all told. Upkeep is a byatch though.. so be sure you want it before you do it.. but it's a great summer look!!!

aaawww...jus go 4it!!! you only live once...and hair jus keeps on growin!!!
i havent really got n e advice on how to do it...all i kno dat i went to a salon...paid lots if money den left wiv jus light brown highlights!!! so i did it at home n had chunky blonde through my hair!!!
i change my hair all da time...its fun too!!!

i wish i was still blonde so much, i had like, platinum blonde hair for about 5 years and everyone use to think it was natural, i dyed it all the time and everyone said it was still extremely soft. i have absolutely no idea how i managed to do that haha, i took it for granted though, because i thought maybe i had started to grow out of having platinum blonde hair and i didn't want to look like a barbie doll that tries too hard so i dyed it a darker blonde, but it was still supposed to be blonde. However, it went brown, i duno why, i guess i am just crap at home dying but i did it for years and was fine so i don't see how it went so wrong this time. Now i am stuck with brown hair, and it's not even a nice brown, i really like brown hair but it just made me look really plain i thought. At the moment it is tinged greenish in some lights...so that's nice...but i am still trying, i haven't tried actually bleaching it yet because i don't dare i just keep using normal home kits. But that's probably what i'll do next.

oh and, the first time it went brown after dying it darker blonde, i tried to get it back and it wouldn't go blonde, it went greeny orange so i dyed it dark brown under the advice of my best friend who says now just wondered how it would look hahaha, nice one. But yes, my advice is to never dye your hair brown if your used to having platinum blonde, it looks weird and it's hard to get back

If you trust a professional to dye your hair they can tell you which blondes work for brown haired ladies. Anyone who thinks brunette should stay brunette that isn't true. People have there own choices of what they want to do and what you say can be minimal in impact on what someone wants to do with there lives so quite trying to control them and control your own life. Thank you.

Its quite simple to dye your hair from brown too blonde,well unless you have put lots of packet dye on it like i have =[ biggest mistake ever.
I am naturally dark blonde and size year 7 (now in year 10) i have used packet dyes on my hair. a few months ago i put a black packet dye on my hair which made my hair sooo dry..i cannot belive i actualli done that.
Now my hair is brown mixed with ginger mixed with light brown and i am also trying to get my hair back too blonde.The best thing i suggest you do is buy a REALLY good conditioner and use it twice a week.
TRY YOUR HARDEST to avoid straightners because they heat up the peroxide in your hair and make your hair frie.
Go too a salon after a couple of months of thoughrouly conditioning your hair and get a full head on highlights which will make yur hair near enough blonde,and continue to do that every 6 weeks and eventually your hair will turn blonde =]

Hope it goes well for yu
Thats If yu do take my adivce

Hey
I'm a hairstylist, if you do bleach your hair blonde and you find its very dry and frizzie its because you have just stripped out everything that was in your hair and it is now full of nothing, so what you want to do is go and either buy hair colour from the drug store or from the beauty supply store buy a blonde that you like and put that over it, i reccommend a Joico colour (they have conditioners in them). You hair will feel healthy and look it as well. If you still find that you have a yellowish tinge or gold tinge to your hair buy a PURPLE SHAMPOO, it will tone the hair, DO NOT OVER USE the purple shampoo I reccommend once every two weeks at most, if you over use the purple shampoo your hair could turn a grey colour.

Just think of the colour wheel if you have a tone of a colour stuck in your hair, like yellow/ gold you want to put in purple, if you have red you want green!

Hope that helps some.

Ok. This is what I think. DO NOT bleach your hair!!! Go to a high-class hair salon and have them dye your hair blonde!! I would never ever you the store bought sht for my hair. I think it ruins your hair. I am very dark haired and I have dyed my hair blonde before when I was in 11th grade. Me and my mom went to a very nice hair salon in Beverly Hills (thats where I used to live) and even though it costs about $200, I got SOOO many compliments!!! So just go to a high class hair salon and you will be pleased with the results and STAY AWAY FROM THE STORE BOUGHT CRAP!!!
