brown hair has to go through red to orange to yellow then to blonde. Once it is blonde (more like a pale yellow) you can then "tone" it to the desired colour. If you want it to be very light, you can tone it with purple (often called "ash" and this takes out the "warmth" or yellow out of the hair (yellow+purple=brown) and you will left with a very pale nice blonde. The same works with orange and you can tone it with a blue. You will get the same result, but it will be a much darker blonde, and not as nice. Now that the colour lesson is over, here is some advice!! It is very very hard to acheive a nice blonde at home. You need to use hair lightener, which is general you can only purchase is 10vol (hairdressing term). This will lighten a few shades, generally leave most people with orange hair. Also its hard to purchase toners yourself. Hairsalons have up to 40vol, which will lighten anything, even dark asian hair. Also they have a huge range of toners, so you will leave with the perfect blonde. Start by getting a half head of highlights, and do it gradually.
I am naturally medium dark brown, and have been platinum blonde (very white blonde) with just one professional application (would take 2-4 go's at home). Just a word of warning, you have to put protein back into your hair, lightening is very damaging to your hair, it loses a lot of strength, and can snap off, sometimes right at the roots!

Yes. Usually you have to bleach it twice to get it to go light enough to then dye it to the desired colour. If it's dark brown then you may have to bleach it three times. Of course this is really not good for your hair but if you straight out dye your hair blonde without bleaching it twice first it will most likely go ginger or will justt plain not work! Best to get it done professionally if your going to dye your hair blonde as home bleach kits and dye kits are usually really damaging to hair and can often go wrong (I know someone who's hair went green and anothers had her hair snap off due to the bleach!). Also the first time you bleach it it will most likely go ginger and that's why you need to do it twice but you need to seperate it to avoid your hair snapping. Good luck x
