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

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.

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 had light brownish dirty blonde hair and me and my stupid friend went to the store to buy hair dye because I wanted darker hair. Well we read the chart wrong and my hair turned out black! I looked like a gothic freat and when my roots grew in everyone called me skunk girl. not the best times of my life. it was supposed to be one of those 28 wash dyes but it has been in my hair since august and its february! 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

I tried it once haha and went a orange. but I dyed it back brown staright away because I got scared :D so I really need help I've wrote down some of peoples tips because the sound soo good! So I will try some of them and do hope they work I have a dark brown hair colour butnow its like a medium, not a drak but not a really light brown. So I want to get it a light blonde, none of the dirty coloured blonde a nice light blonde. So please HELP I dont want to go to the hairdressers because they are really NOT good round where I live I want help on how to do it myself please :D so if anyone could help me I would be grateful :D xxx

condition a day before you do it. then go 2 a salon and tell them what you would like done I am sure they will b able 2 help you out.

Since I couldnt afford to go to a hairdressers to colour my hair, someone suggested I go to a school of hairdressers. They did a great job and was cheap. So I coloured my hair blonde (from a aubourn colour), then I did the roots myself, by going to a beauty supply store. They advised me on the right colour to buy for the roots. I dont use expensive conditioners or shampoos, however I use ones for coloured treated hair, which I buy at Wal-Mart for $1.96 each. I put conditioner in my hair 2x/week and let it sit covered by a shower cap for 1 hour. Then shampoo and rinse as normal. Use leave in conditioners (I make my own, 1part conditioner,to 4 parts water in a spray bottle. My hair is not damaged. However it is very important that conditioning is continuas.

honey why on earth would you want BLONDE hair, I ask this as a concerned citizen! blonde hair is only ok to have if your born w it, its like a disease that stays w you for life, like aids or mono.brown hair is hot and blakc hair is even hotter! girl you dont want blonde hair its monochrome and has no shine to it, theres no contrast with your face and eyes and hair color and it looks dull and plain. be proud you have sexy brown hair, brunnettes are better !

you need to get it professionally done but if you dont have the money you can always dye it from a box but only go one or 2 shades lighter at a time. if you go from brown to light blonde you hair WILL turn orange so dye it dark blonde and then keep going if you like it and MAKE SURE to you a deep conditioner that you need to leave in for at least 5 minutes so it wont be dry all the time

You would have to get some really good bleach and conditioner because your hair will dry out other wise, and I suggest trying it on a strand of hair first (Cut a small strand of hair and tape it at the end then use the bleach on it to see how it will turn out) Or if you have the money you could always go to a good salon and get it done there. I mean I dye my friends hair all the time and I always make sure to do a strand test first other wise it wont turn out the way you planed.

yah so im only fourteen and I had just figured out the lovelyness of what happens when you die your hair brown from blonde , it sucks my hair use to be so beautiful and now I have this hair that goes black at the tips brown at the top , *slightly reddish and then blonde roots . uggghh ! its terrible and I know people just say get your hair stripped but im so terrified its going to go to mush or be a rusty orange =( ahhh I need help please

Dye of bleach? if you want it blonde forever id recommend bleaching it, I did that to my beard and ended up having to dye it.

NOOO ! I read threw most of the answers in there, but I went FROM BLACK TO BLONDE TO BLACK,
IT WAS REALLLY HARD TRANSITION, but GET TOO COLOR REMOVERS . THIS WILL MAKE IT AN ORANGY BLONDE OR BLONDE , than go to sallys and ask for BRASS remover . do that , than get a dyeing BLONDE kit also,
than that would work
but its A LONNNG process !

I would have to say that I have expierence this. The best way to do it is to get it professionaly done. I had.. ah brownish-dark hair and I wanted baby blonde so I asked for baby blonde and it looked wonderful , tell them what you want. It costed me sixty dollars and it was worth it for me.

Bleach then put a toner on it.

As far as I know, there is NO way to change the color of your hair without damaging it, besides using a spray-on or something else fairly temporary.

Every time I've tried to dye my own hair, it's ended up a disaster. So I agree with those who have said go to a professional -- they'll know what's best for you and your beloved hair, and they'll limit the damage as much as possible.

If you choose to bleach it, make sure you ONLY shampoo your hair once every other day, and make sure you DEEP CONDITION once a day. (Leaving conditioner in your hair for 5-10 minutes). Also, as always, use shampoo/conditioner designed for color-treated hair.

I had my hair professionally dyed brunette two days ago and it looks brilliant, much better than when I dyed it brunette on my own. Remember, after you bleach your hair, there is no way to un-bleach without going to a professional and getting their input. May as well just go to the professional first, so you don't have to risk going out in public with godawful, ruined hair.

Hope this helped, at least a little bit!!

I suggest to fade the dark colour out!!! ...Try using dandruff shampoo it fades out your hair colour the quickest which will help make it lighter and get rid of some of that colour build up also grow your hair out as much you can handle to wait... remember to deep condition and once a week hair treatment to have it as healthy as possible cause bleach can be quite damaging it wont happen straight away but be patient and keep your hair healthy and Never attempt it yourself always go to a salon and make sure you tell them how many times you have dyed your hair and what desired colour you would like to end up with...remember after it has been dyed try to stay away from heat styling if you feel that you cant,then do it less often and use a great heat protection I suggest using Kerastase heat treatment that actually activates when you apply heat to your hair may be pricey but well worth it hope this has been helpful !!! Good Luck

getting hair dye

If I were you I would go to the salon and get blonde highlights. It will look really good and get a cute layed cut to go with it. But if you really want to go all blonde, then have a professional hairdresser do it. They can check your hair and will most likely deep condition it as well as blow dry and style and all that...I had blonde hair and it really made it super dry and wouldnt do it again. My original color was dark brown. Then finally just went for highlights...it made my look more sexy and sleek. Its easy to maintain and my hair wasnt falling out anymore. Been there done that, wouldnt do it again!

honestly coming from a hair stylist, you cannot trust drug store color/bleach. I would do highlights a little bit at a time and build up the color. the reason why people's hair turns orange is because you dont know what you are putting in your hair. theres a reason we go to school for hair. theres a lot more that goes into it then picking a color from a box.
1. the person on the box did not have their hair colored with store bought color.
2. her hair is usually not the same color as yours so it will not be exact results.
3. if you absolutely cannot go to a salon, because I know it gets expensive, go to a public beauty supply store, I.e. sally's beauty supply because at least theirs is almost professional.
