How to get from black to blonde? anybody with experience/hairdresse

Asked by morriganmary 7 months ago, 3 answers.

I've got dark brown; or a rich black, colored hair. It find it boring. I've got healthy hair, it's got a shine
to it; and I look after it well.

Heres the twist, I'd really like to go a dirty blonde. I love that color. Here are the questions.

(a....

How many times would I have to bleach my hair?
(b. Do I strip my hair, and bleach it in the same day?
(c. Can I strip my hair; and then add the dirty blonde? Will it still be orange?
(d. How many times will I have to strip my hair?
(e. Should I bleach my hair, dye it a light brown, then wait a month and then add heavy highlights?

Thanks in advance - please don't tell me to go to a hairdressers, the place where I live there is
only one hairdressers and money is tight there. They have put up the prices by $200 and I simply
cannot offord those striking prices. Getting my hair stripped and bleached (I've checked this
myself) costs $670.

There are no college hair things around here since it's a small town.

Thanks in advance!!

Yeah... I wouldn't do that at all. If you take a minute to read other people's questions of black to blond or brown to blond, They screw up their hair each time and its not a tiny screw up its a major How the hell did this happen Screw up.. Normally they dry their hair out to hell. And the color does not come out correctly no matter what because you just cant really bleach black hair white to put the blond into it.

...and ANYTHING that bleaches your hair dries it out. You can try to compensate by using conditioner all over the place, but basically: bleaching is asking for dry, brittle hair.

I've got the same problem. I'm a dark brown and I want to go blonde.
I've tried going blonde myself numerous times and it lead to catastrophe!
My hair ended up dry, brittle and in really poor condition. It was a bright orange colour and wouldn't take the blonde hair dye I bought to go on top of the pre-lightener.
I didn't cut my hair since bleaching it (last year) because I wanted to grow it out, and even now the ends of my hair keep snapping off.

I know it's cheaper, but I'd seriously recommend you don't do it yourself with a home-kit.
I'm saving up to get it done professionally, as I can't afford salon prices at the moment either.
