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

try henna or dyes form the lush shp. both are healthy for ya hair. but I have got to ask why on earth would you want to dye your hair blonde?? yukkk!

I have BLACK hair. I BLEACHED my hair professionally to get it blonde so it could be colored. I did it in one sitting. sitting under a heat lamp and letting your hair get fried hurts.

I have always wondered why blonds go to all that trouble to dye the roots of their hair dark. mmm

Bleach your hair blonde,
If you've got highlights in your hair like red,
dye all your hair brown and then wait about 2 months and then bleach it blonde
Reason is a girl at my school had dark brown hair she put red streaks in and a few months later she bleached it blonde and she had peach hair with orange streaks.
:/

Well, I have to say, dying my hair blonde was the hardest and most stressful thing ever.
As you can tell from my photo, I have REALLY dark brown hair, on the verge of black, but I wanted blonde hair for years just never had the guts to do it. I travelled around the world on my own, and left my boyfriend of 2 years behind, and needed to pick myself up and decided to just go for it. I went out and dyed my hair platinum blonde using the home kits, which turned it a light brown. So I was thinking, great, its a start. I then got my sister (who used to be a hairdresser) to bleach it - Bad idea. The bleach burned into my scalp and started making my skin on the back of my neck bleed. I had to wash it of as quick as I could before it done any more damage to my head. To my horror, my hair was left bright orange/red! I wasnt too bothered, I generally have a laid back attitude to doing outragous things. So I left my hair for a few hours to dry, and then decided to bleach it AGAIN. Well, it started burning again and had to wash it off within 10-20 minutes. My hair was still orange, and looked awful. No joke, it literally turned to spaghetti. Touching my hair felt like I was putting my hand into a wet bowl of slimey pasta. The bleach had completely stripped the goodness from my hair, and left me with my hair falling out in clumps. I was starting to think Oh dear, now what?, so I left it over night to dry. Well, I woke up in the morning and it STILL was soaking wet. Then I did panic. I rushed down to the hair dressers a.s.a.p, and the hairdresser just laughed and told me I'll never be able to get it platinum blonde. But, like I usually do, I ignored her and said I'd prove her wrong. She dyed it a goldeny blonde colour to try and take out some of the orange - It didnt really work, but it didnt look AS bad as it was. I left it for a week, and conditioned it like mad EVERY day. My fringe was the worst, it literally stood up straight and refused to even dry properly because it was that dead from the bleach. By the end of the week it started looking better, and my fringe had sorted itself out. I went back to the hairdressers and got them to put a whole lot of Highlights in it, and carried on doing that until I got the right colour I wanted.
It's looking great now!
I can't imagine not being blonde anymore. Its given me so much more confidence!

If you're thinking about getting it done, I'll give you a few tips. -
Go for it. Its pointless not trying something, you'll only regret not doing it in the future. Just be careful!
Make sure you condition it EVERY day, and leave it in for 20-40 minutes! Once you've got some of the condition up, just make sure you condition it at least every week.
If your hairs naturally a lighter brown, then it would probably be best just getting highlights and gradually getting it lighter as time goes on.
Be careful with red hair. I dyed it red a couple of times, and then went back to brown again, but a few of the red highlights were still in my hair which is why it turned such a vibrant ginger/orange when I bleached it.
NEVER bleech it and then give up half way. What's the point in dying it and ruining the condition of your hair, if you're not going to follow it through and actually get a finished result? Stick with it! It will get there eventually!

Bleache it,

A professional never refers to dying your hair only living things die. It is professionally called Coloring or Bleaching your hair. If you have the right professional your hair will be colored correctly. To find someone like that you find someone who has their hair done correctly and ask for the name of their hairdresser. Simple as that

Schwartzkopf colour xxl in platinum blonde works on dyed brown hair but dont use it if you have roots because my roots went lighter then the dyed parts! If your hair is all natural (never dyed) then it will go very blonde. Im naturally medium/darkish brown and my roots went almost white blonde, the dyed bits went more of a yellowy blonde. I recomend schwartzkopf dyes. Also, the dyed bits had been dyed about 15 times before so it was a lot of old colours in it. If your hair is any darker then mousy brown I dont think you should dye it blonde because of the hassels of dark roots.

LADIES PLEASE !! AND GENTLEMEN
I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS THIS SITE SO MY ADVICE IS PLEASE PLEASE WHEN YOU WANT TO GO EITHER BLEACH BLONDE OR BROWN FROM BEING BLONDE GET PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AS COLOURING HAIR IS A SCIENCE WHICH HAIRDRESSERS HAVE TRAINED YEARS FOR. IT DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS ( IE:- FINE HAIR THICK, COLOURED, VIRGIN,LONG, SHORT) AS TO WHAT COLOUR YOU WILL TURN OUT. I AM A PROFESSIONAL FULLY QUALIFIED HAIRDRESSER AND MY GOD BEKKA83 STORY AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE MADE MY TOES CURL WHOEVER DID THIS TO YOU SHOULD BE SHOT !!
BLEACH IS THE MOST DAMAGING PRODUCTS YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR HAIR SO BE CAREFUL. GOING BACK BROWN CAN GO HORRIBLY WRONG YOU MUST HAVE SOME SORT OF RED IN THE COLOUR YOU ARE GOING TO PUT ON OR ELSE IT COULD VERY WELL GO GREEN !!
BUT IF YOU DO GET ADVICE FROM A PROFESSIONAL THEN WE CANNOT ADVISE WHAT CHEMIST COLOURS TO USE AS WE DO NOT WORK WITH THEM SO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THEM APART FROM PROFESSIONAL COLOURS
IT IS A FRIGHTENING THOUGHT THAT ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE IN GB CAN OPEN A HAIRDRESSERS AND DO PEOPLES HAIR SO MAYBE IF YOU NEED GOOD ADVICE TO GO TO 2 OR 3 SALONS TO MAKE SURE THEY SAY THE SAME THING !!
GOOD LUCK

Omg, wow. I've heard some incredible stories on here. Alright, so I'm naturally a very dark burnette and I died my hair like a white blond. I didn't infact go to a stylist's place for this. I couldn't trust them enough to lighten my hair like that. (like in that one story. youch) So, I got my step mother to do it for m. She did a great job. infact, she didn't use bleach because that totally destroys hair, she used lightener. It made my hair soft(er) then bleaching it would.

so I would recommended whn people would like to die thir hair a lighter color, that they should have a trusted friend or relative do it for them so they know thy'll do it right, or try ahahah.

good luck (:

my hairs like platinum blonde and I have naturally dark brown hair. I've had it blonde for like 2 years now and I have no problem with it. itsj sut damaged from striahgtening it. jsut buy a deep conditioner when you wash your hair.

id bleahc it first than dye it the type of blonde you want cause if you ammedeantly dye it a blond and not bleach it, it will be orange

I've had my light brown hair highlighted blonde for years. I tried once all over blonde bleach ((BIG MISTAKE!!!) I didnt know the stylist. Its important to stick to one with coloring your hair.
I get a full foil with bleach and my hair is blonde for afew months. Being light brown I can get away with not going every 6 weeks. I go more to 8-10weeks,lol..
Easiest way to be blonde is a FULL FOIL HIGHLIGHT, then everyother time you can do a partialfoil highlight and it saves you money, b/c you really dont need a full everytime.

I am blonde, however I went through a stage of wanting brown hair, did that and it took me about a month to 2 months to get back to blonde as it is a gradual process and any hair dressers that tells you different is lying. Definately go to a hairdresser who is actually blonde themselves, and has had experience in hair colouring. They will then have a consultation with you and explain that going from brown to blonde is a gradual process, I started with highlights, and yes it will look a caramel colour at first as to full on bleach your hair will damage it and will just turn your hair orange, going blonde damages the hair cuticles therfore you will need to ensure you use a hair mask once a week plus a blonde toner 1-2 times a week. Just understand that you cant go straight from brown to blonde in an instant.

to go blonde you MUST start with high lights and work your way until your hair is coved with them and build up on the colour, depending on how blonde you want to go.AND GO TO THE SALON dont do this at home save up your cash,find a good salon the best one are what people have recomened.this is your hair were talking about, so dont play with it unless you know what your doing,and treatments are a must every week when colouring your hair.
please dont listen to all this rubbish about bleaching at home TRUST ME been there done that many years ago dont make the same mistake thats soo many of us do today

This is hard 2 get rite, so I suggest you let a hairdresser do this! I've been dyin my hair all sorts of colors, for years, so I know wot I'm talkin bout! My hair is black at the moment, but I now want mine blonde again! gud luck

why woould you want to,,, that is reaally stupid. I hate it when people dye their hair to be dumb blondes

just making an observation:
ALLOT of people respond to this, and just reminds me why I dye my hair the color of various skittles.
