Resolved Question

I want to dye my hair blonde...........from dark brown!?

Heyyyyyyyyy!

So,recently,I've been thinking of dyeing my hair an intense,tomato red(ha ha!)
My hair is dark brown with some gingery red/blonde streaks from where I had it streaked red at a salon last year
I wasnt really serious about dying it red so Im not bothered about that but I am super serious about dyeing it blonde
I went to bodycare and checked out their hair dyes and the Jerome Russel BBlonde High Lift Powder Bleach Kit caught my eye(It also said ''for light to dark brown hair''
I looked at the colour chart shades on the back and where it said dark brown/black,there was a notice that said''not recommended'')
So should I just buy loads of bleach kits or do what my mum said and go to the salon in the half term hols(im 16)
And what exactly do you reckon the stylist will say?
Im not looking forward to going back and forth for 5 sessions and whatnot!
Help??????????

A stylist can lift the color in one session if you go to a salon. Also, then if you don't like the color they should fix it for you.

If you want to do it on your own, lightening in steps would be far better than bleach. It would reduce the risk of your hair turning orange and do less damage to your hair. Start with like a medium ash brown and wait 4-6 weeks then dye it a light ash brown and wait and dye it a dark blonde and so on until you reach your desired shade. I say ash because that will minimize the red and gold tones in brown hair that make it look orange or red when it 's lifted to blonde. Good luck!

• You will need to get a proffesional consultation from the hair salon
  they will be able to tell wether you have a large build up or if your hair is in the right
  condition ,even if your hair is in the right condition after the colour stripper has been put on
  it will take about a month to get back into good condition
  
  do not do it yourself
  you will regret it

• I'd go to the salon if I was you. My sister tried dyeing her hair from dark brown to blonde at home & ended up with orange hair that looked like straw! Usually the very light blonde dyes have peroxide in them, which is very bad for hair, so go to the salon, as you'd probably need all your colour stripping out first anyway.
  Good luck!

• I have natural and have very kinky, curly hair as well. I am so familiar with this problem.Before I give you any advice about products and such I have to tell you that it takes a while for the hair to be trained and once your hair is trained then it really doesn't matter what kind of products you use. In my opinion shampoo and conditioner is not such a big deal. I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner,I always use a leave in conditioner, as well as a heat protector spray by Tresemme. Also, rinse with tepid water, actually as cool as you can take it, it makes the hair shine. After that I use the leave in conditioner and the heat protector spray. I try to let my hair air dry as much as possible to illuminate the amount of heat. So, then I blow dry! This is when the Super Skinny Serum comes in to play, then I use a light oil, like Hot Six. Its a liquid, this helps to lubricate the hair so that it doesn't singe while flat ironing. Now, use a small amount of oil but for the first day it will seem a little heavy but not super heavy, you will still have major body. Always remember to wrap your hair at night with a soft/slick material so that it doesn't pull or split. One last thing, a lot of people spend macho bucks on expensive flat irons but I kid you not, I paid 15 bucks for my flat iron and it is the best one I have ever owned. I wouldn't make it without my flat iron. It is Andris and I purchased from Walmart Actually all of the products I use can be bought from Walmart.I hope this information is helpful. Don't lose hope and remember once you train your hair it will be almost as if you have a different texture and then it will be more manageable..

  Good Luck!!!
• Go to a salon i used the powder bleach kit on mine to get mine from light brown to blonde...it goes yellow...veryveryvery yellow! I also have sensitive skin so i have been scarred with bleach burns on the back of my neck.
  
  I'd go to a salon and to keep it nice and bright use lee staffords bleach blonde shampoo and conditioner... it keeps all the canary yellow tones out :)
  
  Its a pain in the **** to keep your roots blonde but so worth it.
