How can I dye brown hair blonde?

I really, really want to get extensions and dye my hair blonde, is there any ways to keep my hair at least somewhat healthy???please help

3 words of advice if you decide to go blonde- condition, condition, condition! Because it won't go light in just one application.

I went from black, dyed hair to platinum blonde- but not without consequences. Heavy, daily conditioning followed. And yes, it is possible! It was a gradual change. Patience is important. The first time I bleached my hair using Feria, my hair lightened up to a brown, then I deep-conditioned my tresses and waited for about another week. I bleached my hair again, conditioned it, and it would get lighter. You have to do it in stages. You will see your hair go from red to orange, but dont worry it's part of the process. It will turn into a high-yellow and then eventually that pale yellow you're looking for. It took about 2mts in order to complete the transformation to platinum with minimum damage. And to avoid that brassy look, I would apply a toner (L'oreal has an awesome one) after each bleaching.

Dont forget to atleast cut about an inch at your salon to avoid frizzy ends...and get atleast one professional deep conditioning treatment.

If you have straight or fine hair, I'd recommend going to a salon. Since my hair is thick and wavy, it was able to withstand the abuse I put it through.

I would try to hold off on getting extentions until the color has settled in and your happy with it. Because extentions are glued or sewn unto your head, it can damage your hair further. But if you're really ambitious, I would suggest purchasing ones that are in 1/3 caps or clip ons.

Hope that was helpful and good luck!

Wash your a hair and bleach it the day before you dye. The next day use a blonde hair dye. Leave it in for half the time and use the conditioner. DONT USE SHAMPOO! The conditioner is supposed to do two things. One-make your hair shinier and Two-keep it from drying out. The next day when you take a shower use a little bit of shampoo and the same conditioner. Not a whole lot, though. That's all the advice I've got. Good Luck with that.

When I dyed my hair blonde ( I am naturally a very dark brunette). I asked my stylist what I should do and she said to make sure not to use store bought hair bleach, it could dry out my hair horribley. I had to go to her to dye it. It could just be that I have super natural curly hair (which makes it naturally drier) or it is for all hair types.

Years ago when I was taking training to become a beutician, I let one of the students bleach my hair (what a mess). Then years later I kept my hair blonde, I was also a light brown hair color, but I went to an experience beautician. Problem, I had to have it done often because of the roots, and I could not get a permanent only have it cut and bleached. Years later I decided to let it grow off and to my surprise I was grey. The funny part was when my second oldest son told me that if I would let my hair go back to it;s natural color, I would look better. I said sorry son, my hair has not been bleached in years, this is mine natural color now (GREY). ANYWAY IT'S YOUR CHOICE. TAKES A LONG TIME TO GROW OFF.

I am not an expert but you will never get brown hair to go a natural blonde colour without damaging it permanently. it also depends what natural tones you have in your hair, if you have a reddy brown colour expect your hair to turn orange! NOT A GOOD IDEA
have you concidered highlights, they can be done to compliment your own hair colour. good luck!

I av blonde hair wiv brown underneath, will my hair be ok to dye al blonde or will it badly damage it??

I've been thinking about dyeing my hair blonde 4 a while now....but I have naturally very dark brown hair....I recently had some blonde hightlights put through my hair but they came out bright orange!!! as you can imagine this wasnt quite the look I was going for!can anyone tell me how I can get my hair blonde without it going orange?? thanx. x x

being a red head,I HATE IT! if you are in a similar situation and don't like your own hair colour and don't want a hole big dramatic change. On a very sunny day try putting lemon juice in your hair. go outside for a while! its great, becuase I have naturally curly hair and the lemon acts as a moose. It will lighten up your hair! trust me!Try doing this everyday for 1 week. you will see the difference. I promise

getting blonde highlights will look way better! or chunks...

Well, as long as you use a deep-conditioner regularly and avoid heatstyling, dying your hair isn't all THAT bad, but I'd skip the extensions, because I've seen people who've lost like 6 inched of already-beautiful hair from extentions. Just be patient and wait for your natural hair to grow out, thats what I'm doing.

going blonde isn't what is going to hurt your hair...the extentions will I had then for 5 months and I have to cut out a lot of my own hair after. they do look awesome but just to you know you might have to deal with it. if your anything like me you'll just go get them anyway and even with my hair fizzing, dreading, and drying out the $700 was worth it

Try it one at a time.If you don't like it then change it back

if you want it healthy, dont get hair extenions, trust me.

I am a natural bright platinum blonde and I thought it would be fun to dye my hair dark brown. Well it did look cute and then it started to fade a little so I wanted my hair back blonde because it is 4 months until my wedding. Well It's been 3 dye jobs later and my hair is a redish blonde color. Just be careful>>My hair is thin and fine and now it's about shot and it's right to the time of my wedding I just hope it all works out.

I get bored very easily with everything. I have always been blonde but I think I got too blonde once and looked liked a barbie doll, so I went dark and some people said they liked it, and some didnt. Most people said I could get away with both .I loved it at first because I changed my makeup and clothes and felt great but then a few weeks later I felt really pale and felt like I had to put loads of make up on all the time to look half decent. So I went back blonde . This is my advice never never never buy a dye from a shop go to a salon because they know what they are doing and after about 3 times of going to the hairdressers I was back blonde but 3 weeks ago I went back dark cus I got bored again (c still a blonde at heart) and im booked back in next week to get it back blonde. I am paying £200 at my hairdressers to get it back blonde and I know I will have to have it cut but I know I will never go back dark again

If you have naturally dark hair you really can't ever have natural looking blonde hair. The only exception is if you go to a really great salon and pay loads of money. My advice is to be happy with what you have. Brown hair is beautiful! It brings out your eyes better than any other hair color. If you start dying your hair, you'll never get your natural color back- believe me I know!

I'm a natural blonde but started having high lights at the age of 15, then I decided to have brown streaks put in and becuase I was a student and couldn't afford the hair dressing bills to have two colours and a cut every six weeks I started dying my hair brown myself, slowly getting darker and darker and eventually going right to black and having long black extensions... so then I got bored, decided black was too dark, (although many people thought that it was natural and wouldn't believe I was a natuarl blonde!!) So I went to the hairdressers an had the colour stripped, god it was painful to watch, my hair was bright orange and patchy, I had different light browns (Semi perms) put in with 'copper' strakes (Orange/ peachy colour-Yuk!) so I cried and cried, they never told me I wouldnt be blonde, so I started putting more semi's on (light brown) and have now decided to let it grow out naturally because it has taken 3 months to get my hair back into shape and lots of cuts, I've now had my long hair bobbed off so I can get the colour out quicker but am still really paranoid about roots, anyone got any ideas at all? Should I risk having it sripped again?maybe my brown will go blonde now? It really guts me when mu ash blonde comes through cause its a really nice colour! x

ok.....I am a naturally mousey colour, which is quite boring at times. so then dyed the top half bleach blonde and the bottom dark with a inverted bob style, it looked lovely. then silly me wanted to be different again, and dyed it brown, with red streaks going through it.....then a few months later....I dyed it all brown......and a few weeks later again........I dyed it plumy!!! not the plumy coulour has faded and looking at my hair now you can slightly see the red streaks again....but I really miss the bleach blonde...do you think I can go blond again?? even if it is not bleach?? someone has said that if you wash your hair with washing up liquid before shampooin it, it breaks the colour up very gradually....im wondering if that would work....then possibly get it stripped?? any ideas anyone??

If you have had your hair coloured with red streaks and they are now coming through I would think twice about trying to go back to bleach blonde again unless you are willing to shell out a lot of money on the hairdressers. Speaking from experience the look you desire will end up looking like lots of bright orange and pale orange streaks unless you go to a pro unless they strip it off and then add colour but your hair will be wrecked. I am one who like eyou gets fed up and changes more often then I know is good for me, or at least my hair. I have to say I know a few people on here have said how awful extensions are but I find them a lot better then having to bleach my hair every six weeks to cover the big dark roots. And the bonus with the extensions is if you buy the weaves you can cut them to however thin or thick you like, put as little or as much colour in and change it every two weeks if you wanted to. The only thing I would say about them is make sure if you do use them buy the rubber glue and not the gold one as that is a nightmare to get out, hope that helps! '-)

My hair has been through so much over the past few years. It's not even funny! I'm naturally a brunette. I've bleached my hair from black to blonde about 4 times, and have dyed my hair every color of the rainbow! Red, pink, orange [not by purpose], blonde, black, brown, caramel, burgangy...And I'm sure more that I can't remember. I slowly started to notice my hair frying off each time I dyed my hair. So yes, My hair is damaged and can barely make it through another change! But, me...being impatient and always yearning for a change...I fiddle around with it in every way! Recently I got extensions...[Biggest mistake ever!] Totally messed my hair up..and created numerous tangles which I had to chop off! So now, I have fryed hair..that's short! haha. Shoulder length, not the length I desire. And now that I have grown to be a mature..more natural looking female...I decided to go blonde..but I have brown hair. So the salon I go to told me that I have to work my way up to it. Right now Im at a pretty healthy light brown with caramel high-lights, and I'll just have to go back in a month to get blonde high-lights then gradually work my up to be a full blonde! So just be patient and dont use extensions!!

For sure you can do this. If you are wanting to go blonde try a darker shade to start. You don't want to go crazy blonde right away. Try to stay away from brassy tones. Stick to an ash blonde or a champainge blonde. Good luck. :O You can find hair extentions that you can clip in on Ebay....

GO TO A SALONN !!
there is no way you can get a nice looking blonde if you do it urself.
professionals know how ti do it the right way.
but make sure you tell them what kind of a blonde you are looking for (ash blonde, platinum blonde, dirty blonde, pale yellow blonde).
when you have dark hair the only right way to go blonde is gradually and not dye you hair and fry it all in one day. start with highlites and work your way to the colour you want.

heya!! I seriously need help!! lmao
I have dyed my hair brown and im a natrual blnde and I realy want to go back to being blonde and I just realy dont no what to do can you help me!!

YOU KNOW WHAT DONT EVEN TRY TO HOME BLEACH YOUR HAIR BECAUSE SO MANY THINGS CAN GO WRONG AND YOU'LL BE DEVASTATED WHEN YOUR HAIR IS RUINED.. TRUST ME I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE. IF YOU WANT YOUR HAIR TO BE BLONDE GO TO THE SALON AND GET IT DONE. THEY KNOW WHAT THERE DOING AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU A NICE/GORGEOUS BLONDE THAT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET AT HOME. SO PLEASE DONT DO THE SAME MISTAKE THAT MANY OF US FEMALES HAVE DONE ALREADY AND TAKE YOURSELF TO THE SALON! WELL I HOPE YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION! AND I HOPE YOUR HAIR TURNS OUT GREAT! TAKE CARE!

Go with an Ash Blonde first, because it will cancel out the Oranges. Then if you want a lighter blonde then it will just get even lighter. I learned this one through experience!

I'm trying to dye my hair blonde and my hair is naturally very dark brown.rite now my hair is a yellow blonde color still not the light blonde I want.I've been doing my hair in steps.first week bleach,second light ash blonde hair dye,third dark ash to reduce the orange then light ash again.I give my hair some time then dye again and again and again from light ash to dark ash to light again.'DO NOT DO THIS.. EVER' rite now I'm also trying to restore my hair.my last dye I used really fried my hair .all I have to do is pull a chunk of my hair and it stretches and breakes off. I have some pieces sticking up from where my hair broke off.if you try to dye your hair blonde,go to a professional.dying your hair yourself is for people who want to get rid of grey or go only a couple shades lighter.Not for people who want dramatic change.and when people say dying your hair will make it fall out..they're somewhat rite.so go to a professional..all the money I spent on home dying.A professional would have been a lot cheaper.

good luck.

Well the easiest way to do that without damaging it is to get a color that is some what natural to your hair color. Like dont go to blonde on your fisrt dye work your way up to the color that you are trying to acheive. Start with a light color then work your way up.

if you have a dark hair color, I seriously do not recommend dying your hair blonde or bleaching it by yourself, with a home kit. GO TO A SALON.!! bleaching dark hair will make it orange, trust me- I've tried everything (sun in, lemon juice, olive oil, avocado, hydrogen pyroxide, EVERYTHING) and nothing has even faded the orange in my hair. I had to go to a salon and get it re-dyed brown. I ignored all the warnings from my parents and friends to NOT dye my hair, but I ignored them and I regret it big time.

As for extensions- they look nice, but they ruin your hair. I use the jessica simpson HairDo ones, which are made with real human hair but they are clip ons, and they can be reused.
they are about 100 bucks each, which is a pretty good deal considering they stay in good shape for about 5 weeks.

Ok for anyone who has brown hair and wants to be blonde:

I have naturally dark brown hair and have always wanted to go blonde. I decided to take the plunge this past weekend and went to the salon to have it done. I told the girl exactly what I wanted...just a really dirty blonde with some bright highlights. She told me she would have to strip my hair, bleach it, put toner in it, and then highlights. So I believe her and say ok lets do it. BIG MISTAKE. This so called professional wet my hair, mixed the stripper and bleach with shampoo and put it in my hair, then set me under the dryer for 4 hours. She then FINALLY rinsed it out after it was burning the hell out of my head. My hair turned out to be light blonde in some spots and red in others. She then put the toner in for an hour. After she rinsed and styled my hair she turned me around to let me see. I was shocked at what I saw, and of course teared up. My hair was a red/orange color and just plain out UGLY. I guess she saw me tearing up and she was like 'oh I cant get your hair any lighter, so your going to have to come back a few times and get highlights.' After ALL that and $270 later she tells me I need highlights to be blonde?? Why didnt she do that to begin with? I was so upset I just paid and left. I got to my car to look at my now extremley ugly and damaged hair and then noticed this BIATCH left hair dye all along my hair line (she covered that up with a side part) all on my ears, on the front of my neck, back of my neck, and even on my arms. WOW what a horrible experience. I went home and immediatley called the salon to talk to the manager, she was just as bad. Was not willing to help me in any way, so I called the corporate office. They are now taking care of it.
Well I went today to a different salon to get highlights all over. Thank god I actually got a professional. She told me my hair was so fried that if she put highlights all over my hair would fall off. She did what highlights she could, deep conditioned my hair, told me how to get my hair in better shape, and told me what products to use. Im really upset with my hair now because it is still really red ( and it doesnt go at ALL with my brown eyes and tanned skin) and EXTREMLEY damaged. I cant even brush it without seeing a ton of hair fall off. It gets it knots really easy, and is just a mess. Im going to be deep conditioning my hair EVERYDAY so I can get this nightmare over with as soon as possible.

To you girls that want to do the same, please, please, please, go to a stylist you trust. And you should start out with very fine highlights all over your head. Go about once a month and keep adding the highlights and you will get to where you want to be without this nightmare.

I've been doing the deep conditioning she told me too...but does anyone know anything else that I can do to help heal my hair super fast so I can get this mess fixed? Im a bartender and its extremley embarassing to go out in public like this.

Make sure blonde is what you really want. I honestly would go back to brown but I've spent so much money so far I might as well wait to see the end result of the blonde.

Good luck!!

I recently tried dying my hair platinum blonde and conditioned and conditioned I used many brands swartskopf, nice and easy etc etc. but it just didn't work, I looked like a lightbulb because I had dark hair naturally not black hair but medium brown. I think its best to go to a salon rather than doing it yourself and invest in some deep conditioning treatment after as bleach reaaaly damages your hair. hope that helped

o yeah I have a question...

I want to dye my hair brown no problem there, but have you seen it were people have blonde bits at the front not highlights but for your side fringe or something would you recomend that I went to a salon or is it and easy do it yourself? HELP PLEASE

in my opinion it's not even hard to get brown hair blonde. I mean obviously depends whether the hair is dyed a dark colour or whether its brown naturally. I've had all sorts of browns on my hair over the past 5 years or so of all different shades and I've just got platinum blonde. I just went to the salon and got lots and lots of bleach blonde highlights through a cap, but it almost looked like the whole thing had been dyed. it was quite yellowly so I put a light blonde cream colour of the top. this matched my remaining brown bits quite well to the rest of my head. then the next day I bleached it all over again and put another blonde cream colour of the top. but it didn't really soften the yellowly colour of the blonde. a few days ago my friend suggested I try a loreal cream colour of more of an Ash kind of blonde shade, this was also one designed especially for orangy copper tones after bleach. it worked amazingly and now my hair is almost a white shade of blonde with no yellow tones in.

my hair's condition isn't even that bad. just going to deep condition it every week.

so I suggest ure hair dresser gets you started then you do the rest yourself. its likly ure hair may be in poor condition. but it probably won't fall out. you have to bleach it and colour it a lot for that to even come close to happening no matter what anyone says.

Oh My!!! All you girls seem to have the same problems as I ! [Now I don't feel all those fingers pointing all at me]
Born a Dark Brunette and Wish to go Blonde! I Would look through Magazines
Seeing Dark-haired (like mine, which is Dark dark brown) Models & Celebs
and then maybe a month later see the same person again with Reallly 'PERFECT'
Platinum, Dirty, and/or White Hair that just looks, . . Wonderful!!!
Ok, How the hell do they get that Gorgeous hair??
Hmm, well I figured they go to Salons and pay literally Thousands to get that perfect Shade.
But is there a better way??

I just follow my Ma's Tips by using Ash-Blonde dye to get those Stubborn Orange head colours out. Ugh! Talk about Ugly!

I've been made fun of and laughed at and am so sick of it.
I already spent too much trying hard to get to the color I want , So I Started it, Now I need to END IT.

soo . . . ASH-BLONDE!

To becca83:

Oh sweet-heart, my heart goes out to you. The first thing I would do is take that so called hairstylist to court. It could've been a lot worse. If she continues working or perhaps I should say torturing, just think of all the women she'll harm. I don't know how long ago it happened to you, but if it hasn't been long, you can have a claim against them. My advice to you is to deep condition each time you wash your hair. A really good product I recommend is called (Silk Elements Mega Silk Intense Conditioning Mayonnaise). Don't wash your hair everyday!! By doing so, you're stripping all the oils away. Wash your hair every 3 days or so. Another thing I advice you is to keep away from curling irons, hair dryers and so forth if you can. Also, another amazing product I recommend is Bio Silk; it's an oil so don't use too much. Use it after you wash your hair or after your hair is dry, and mainly on the ends which probably need it most. It leaves your hair shiny and tames the frizz. Depending on the condition your hair is in at this moment, I would dye it close to the natural color and start the conditioning regimen faithfully. Another pointer I have is to do home remedies at least once a week. It's not the most pleasant thing to have in your head, but know that nature works best. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 an avocado (preferrably riped), 1 egg yolk, 1/2 cup of real mayonnaise (can't be reduced fat or dressing). Apply all over your head and cover with a shower cap. Wrap a towel around and keep it for at least an hour. Wash your hair and deep condition. Your hair will be shiny and super soft. As for your hair falling, it's a sign that your hair is weak and brittle. After washing it, never detangle it with a brush, always use a wide toothed comb. I strongly suggest taking vitamins and minerals that contain Biotin, B-6, Folic Acid. I hope I was helpful. And to all you girls who want to look drastically different, learn, learn, learn. Not only learn from other people's mishaps but learn to love yourselves the way God made you. Think about what would happen if you went to an inexperienced hair stylist and instead of achieving what you desired you ended up with a big dissappointment and later you find out that all the chemicals used will cause all your hair to fall out. I'm sure that by that time you'll wish you had all your hair and were a brunette again. Oh and one more thing, if you are not a professional hairstylist please, please stop experimenting and being do-it-yourselfers!!!

In order to go blonde from brown you will have to bleach there is no escaping it what I recommend is doing a double process bleach blonding by using the Clairol Born Blonde Ultra Blue followed by the Clairol Born Blonde Extra Light blonde toner to get rid of the rawness. Don't worry these products are safe and won't damage the hair. First Bleach your hair with Clairol Born Blonde Ultra Blue and leave it on your hair until it is lightened to a yellowish color which will take around 2 hours . Pre toned bleached hair usually looks like a rusty gritty yellow no worries after you shampoo and towel dried your hair what I recommend is using the Clariol Born Blonde Toner in the Extra Light Blonde leave it on your hair for no more than 15-20 minutes. In less than three hours you will have the blonde of your dreams. To keep your color vibrant do a lot of deep conditioning and use the John Frieda Shampoo Conditioner plus colorglaze platinum to Champagne for lighter shades of blonde hair.

I've been doing the wrong thing then.hehe.woops.what I did was I got a bleaching kit and I dyed it about 3 times at first then I dyed it every 3 weeks.DONT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE! it makes your hair fall out. but anyway it was too much of a hassle so now my hair is red :D

It's very easy to get brown hair blonde first you bleach it I use nordic streaking kit not nordic streaks make sure it's the streaking kit leave that on for 45mins your hair will go through various stages of red then after 45 mins wash this out dry completely your hair will be quite gingery don't panickWhen dry put extreme ultra light blonde colour on it I use Napro live but if that's not available any extreme blonde will do.If there is any reddy tinge after you've finished wait a cple of days then add light Ash blonde voila you'll have a lovely mily white blonde colour

I have dark brown hair with blonde highlights.
I thought my highlighs would go ginger as I have nearly black colored hair
But they went white blonde.
I really want to go the full blonde.
But I dont know what to do. I have short hair. But its dry..
I really want to go blonde
HELPP!
PS- please dont say I should get more blonde highlights to get a ''gradual'' blonde hair color. I just wan to go the full mile.

hey all! well I have always had really blonde hair, white bleach blonde! and I love it!recently I decided it would be fun to dye it brown for a while, it looked nice! but I missed being blonde. a few weeks later decided I wanted to dye it back! I used a 30% creme developer and bleach power, left it on for about 35 minutes, then toned my hair with a blonde toner from the supermarket, but because my hair had red tones in the brown it went orange and I used too much toner it had purple streaks through it!! obviously I freaked out a little! anyway I applied a nice and easy 'light natural ash blonde' colour over the top and left it for around 30 minutes. after this my hair was very blonde, it was still a little yellow but a lot better than the orange it was before, I left it like this for a few days then thought I would try and get it a little whiter so I applied a 'natural beige blonde' again nice and easy and left it for 25 minutes, then used the same toner ( just a little bit this time tho) . now my hair has no yellow tones and is the white blonde it once was! suprisingly it still looks and feels healthy! just remember to condition, condition, condition!!

I am naturally blonde and have dyed my hair very dark brown twice now. It took a while to get back to the nice natural blonde after the first time I dyed it, but I actually wish I had never gone to a salon in the first place... Usually, going to a salon is the best option if you don't know how to do stuff yourself. I had always cut my own hair and done highlights with Sun-In before, and I would have done it right. I told the lady I wanted to go back to blonde and she put in bleached blonde highlights. I was so annoyed because it looked sort of salt-and-peppery and afterward it would have been a bad idea to bleach it all (the highlights, I feared, would break off entirely).

IF you trust yourself with your hair, just buy the ingredients from a Beauty Supply store- color stripper (if you've dyed it dark) and bleach. Buy a good deep conditioner there as well and condition a lot before and after each treatment. Don't be afraid to let your hair look kind of greasy around these times. (My friend got her crazy-curly hair straightened with that Japanese method and she had to keep it greasy-looking for like a week so her hair didn't fry off) You'll need two or three bleaching sessions before you are back to blonde too, not all at once. Then of course it will just be one plain color that does not look natural if it is very light, so you'll have to probably go to a salon for highlights/lowlights, etc.

When I dye my hair back eventually I will do it this way, and probably just to dark blonde so that it can naturally lighten with the sun and/or lemon and it won't look trashy.

im a hairdressers
I've gone from chocolate brown to blonde, and its taken nearly 6 months
just keep getting hair gradually hi-lighted.
NEVER bleecg the whole thing
it WILL go orange, and it will be very badly damaged
so just keep hi-lighting!!
a good hairdresser will never slap bleech all over dark hair

wash your haif blow dry it and wash it again and dye it while you washing it .

Hey girl! Never dye your hair blonde from dark by yourself! You will ruin it. Go to a nice upscale hair salon in your town. Make sure that the hairdresser you use is a color specialist (they are the best). Going to a proffesional will give you the best results. They know best what to do. Depending on your hair they may strip the color, or just tone it down to make the blonde go in easier. They will choose the best shade of blonde for your skin type and also can do lowlites and highlites to make it look more natural. I have medium dark hair and every summer I get mine done platinum blonde. I only go to professionals to get it done! It always turns out amazing. It is a little more expensive but worth it.

About the extensions... Get the clip in's from Sally's Beauty supply. They are awsome and you can get them for $80, they come in real hair too!!! You can clean it, blow dry it, straighten it and curl it, just make sure only on medium heat (remember it's as fragile as your hair!) You want to make sure not to wash it too much though, you will take the natural oils out of it. I wash mine about twice every two weeks. It stays very clean! Hope I helped ( =

I have naturally blonde hair, but every now and again I decide to put pink hairdye into my fringe.
I usually just let it grow out but for some reason this time I am just sick of the pink so I bought a platinum blonde hair dye.
Bit of a problem haha.
It made my roots go reallly nice blonde, because I'm blonde already, but made my fringe turn a horrible baby pink colour.
I'm going to try and dye it again once more today and see if it brings the pink out, if not, hairdressers it is!
I've heard you can't get metallic colours out yourself, you have to leave them to grow out or get it stripped, is this true?

and if you want to go from brown to blonde, no matter where you do it, it will be in stages!
My friend did it herself and it went orange, then yellow, then blonde.
my friend went to a salon and exactly the same happend! They told her it would be in stages and she would be orange for a while!
The only difference is, the hairdresser will take care of your hair much better than you will be able too!

Hey. My natural hair colour is blondey brown, and a while ago my hair was blonde. I got sick of regrowth so I got it dyed professionally at a salon, and it was dark brown with blonde chunks. Now it's light brown with blonde in it because the colour has faded. I'm getting it dyed blonde tomorrow at hairdressers but I want a natural caramel/ streaky blonde. AH. Im scared it will go orange. Will it go orange from going blond to brunette and now back blonde?! What do you suggest I ask for?

bleach it blonde

Why do you idiots want to DYE your hair when you can simply enjoy the hair that our almighty God has given u!!!

im a natural blonde and I used to dye it bright platinum blonde all the time, and everybody called me a barbie..I totally luved it but then I got sick of it and wanted to dye it a chocolaty brown...I went to a salon I have nvr been to because my usual hair stylist wus booked for a long time I told her NO RED and my hair came out orange, so she dyed it again and it wus red (kinda looked like a copper penny) wit black streaks in it UGLY!!..so I've waited forever and its faded a lot, and my blonde roots are showing..and now I REALLY wana go back to platinum blonde and I dont have much time to doit...is it possible to dye it ONE time witout turning it pink?...I've had brown hair before and my favorite stylist wus able to bring me rite back to brite blonde..but I had blonde highlights in my hair that time...so if you have any adivce for me let me know!!!

My hair has been dyed multiple times, because I have a fairly short attention span when it comes to my hair. At the moment its got several colours on top of each other, though I haven't used permenant dye in about 7 months and haven't used any kind of dye in about 5 months, and at the moment its a fairly light brown. I was originally planning on going to a salon to go blonde (because I want to go crazy blonde) but have recently cut most of my once mermaid hair off and think I can do it on my own. I've been adding hairlights on a weekly basis by mixing bleach with a tiny bit of semi permanant blue hair dye (this works suprisingly well for taking out any orangey or yellow tones, and doesn't makes your hair blue unless you add too much) but I'm getting impatient with this. I suspect any day now I will give in to the temptation and blonde my entire head of hair. This is insanity isn't it? Though otherwise I'm like to get too impatient with this gradual thing and just make all of my hair darky dark brown again, and then regret it in a few months when I feel like being blonde again.

I believe it.

I'm natrually mousy brown but recently died my hair black and liked it. now I really want to be blonde. HELP. what can I do? I dont really want to wait for ages to grow it out and I dont really want to bleach it as I think it badly damages your hair. Any advice ?

you can try and tint it or a bleach bath works too and it dosn't damage your hair as much. maybe you should dye your hair a light brown to start with then go blonde!

if you have dark brown hair use a transition color such as auburn or light brown
CONDITION CONDITION CONDITION they have deep conditiioning treatments at the salon
then bleach it. thats what I did.

still dont forget to CONDITION wicked important

get track exst.they glue in pieces with glue and a blow dryer,as for color-strip the color out

I do the dark brown hair in winter and bleach blonde in summer- have always done it myself and hd no problems, I also have hair extensions and my hair is in fine condition- you pay for the quality and profesional work.if you will get rows of self glue in hair then your asking for trouble, get them done by a pro and you are fine, schwarskof livecolous- absolute platinum blonde hair dye to bleach your hair back. give it two weeks maybe with two applications and then condition condition condition- v05 hot oil is good as a leave in butobviously you cant treat hair with leave in conditioner with extensions.try and limit how many times you wash your hair so its natural oils come round again to help

I am a teenager. Im Caucasian and African-American. My hair is thick, curly and somewhat long. My natural color was a medium-dark ash brown with red undertones and yellowish low- lites. I wanted to be blonde so I bought over the counter dye which was a dark golden blonde (brassy) My roots and ends got a blonde tint but the rest of my hair stayed the same. After that I died it over 10 tens at home with all different shades of brown. Tried going blonde again in the summer but I looked gross so I died it dark again and than red (which loooked great) and than dark again. AFter that I got extensions glued in.!! They looked awesome but than the glue made a lot of my hair fall out. I have so much hair though so it didnt make a difference to me. After that and then a soft black. Long story short I now have blonde hair. I went to the salon to get a chocalatey color.. the hairdresser told me I needed to bleach it so I was like fine I might as well go blonde... I wanted it light golden blonde and now its a strawberry reddish - honey blonde color.. I cant blame the stylist cause my hair was so many different colors.. im going to go back and have a light ash blonde put it cause of the brassiness

I now know a lot about hair cause of my mistakes
so heres my advice... if you want to do it at home yourself for not a lot of money.. YOU dont have to bleach it unless you want it bleach blonde..Natural hair takes best to dyes so make your first shot worth it.. buy loreal preference dye.. that says it is for people with dark hair only.. the shade is light ash brown.. leave it in for way longer than it says (it doesnt damage your hair because the dye stops activating after a while)1 hour or more ...

after that deep condition (use a african american product ; it adds more moisture )wet a towel and put it in the microwave then wrap your hair with it while the conditioner is in

wash it good about a week after and condition again
!! CONDITION CONDITION CONDITION - I cant say it enough

Another week after that get african american dye such as dark and lovely and get a light shade of blonde that says its a lightener... leave that in for longer than it says also .. about an hour

CONDITION

VOILA! you will probably have a nice shade of blonde hair

the reason why you being a caucausian using african american products is because they are stronger since their peoples pigments are deeper..

GOOD LUCK... wait about a month to get extensions and get them sewn in NOT GLUED!

bleach it

omg dont do it you might want it now but just do highlights if you want it that bad. I dyed my hair blonde and im naturally brunett and I completely hated it. phaha I was crying it was that bad so now my hair is kinda redish but just get highlights if you want it tat bad

People need to stop sayin 'get highlights blah blah'
If you want to go blonde then go blonde.
I would say bleach it, thats what im doin.
There is a chance it will ruin your hair and leave it very dry, but you might aswell take the chance it will be worth it in the end.
If you do bleach it, get one that is either 6 or 9% never get 12% that will DEFFO ruin your hair.
Also buy a light blonde hair dye at the shop to put on your hair after, because when you bleach it, it strips out everything here is in your hair, which is why it leaves it soo dry. If you bleach it properly, use a good hair dye after and use a leave in conditioner in your hair for about 3 hours it should be okay.

Hope it works

you have to bleach it first. and if it doesn't turn out the color you want, you'll have to tone it. its best to get this done professionlly.

you can actually go to a salon that you know of, and get a professional to do it

TRUST ME!!!

Im a brunette and have gone blonde twice. The first time it took a year of highlights to gradually build up to the colour blonde I wanted and I loved it, BUT It was expensive at 90£ a month, so I decided after being blonde for a year to go back to being a brunette because I thought it would be cheaper and less maintanence. Yes it was less maintanence but I hated it and the moment I saw my pale skin with my new dark hair colour I knew I wanted it blonde again!! I think it was a few months later when I started having highlights again, I must of had about 5 sessions, and I was a mid blonde, and I thought to myself, im not paying for these high lights any more, ill just do it myself... big mistake!!

I put a bleching maxi lightener on my hair, I cant remember the brand, but its what superdrug recomended. I put it on my roots, and all over my brown hair and my highlights. My highlights went white and they were totally frazzled, the brown hair went a kind of yellowy orange colour, NOT NICE at all!! My husband wasnt impressed at my new look :S

My hair way in such bad condition I left it for a week and conditioned it big time!!, then I went back to super drug and bought another bottle to see if it would lighten my roots up any more and take them to a nice light blonde, and just in case I also bought a dark ashy blonde, as a back up if it all went wrong again. Well it did go wrong again, very yellow, looked tacky cheap and patchy. I dyed it with the ashy blonde a few hours later, and it looked wishy washy, still orangy, Just not nice.

My lessons learnt, if you want a nice colour, youve gotta pay for it. Dont believe what people say about home dyes working, Im my experience, only the best will do when it comes to something thats on show every day and is such a big part of the way you look. DONT Gamble with your hair

I tried those at home hair dye strippers. nothing worked. so I went to a profesional and got the dye lifted. it was patchy and there was still black streaks. and she charged me 130$!! I was angry. now im going back every month and getting highlight. I hope its going to be worth all the waiting and money I have put into it! So yes it is possible
