ok, my question for anyone that dyes their hair blonde: I have medium/dark brown hair naturally, and I want it a really light blonde. How do I go about doing this? and when my roots grow in, can I just use a store bought bottle and it'll come out the color I want?
Medium/dark brown to blonde? Yes I have black hair and have died my hair blonde successfully. I used Clairol Frost %26amp; Tip. If your hair is virgin it should work with one application.
Medium/dark brown to blonde? store bought might not work unless u want permenant color. You will probably need to bleach the brown out of your hair before putting the brown in
Medium/dark brown to blonde? Hum.... I heard its the years of the Brunette.
Medium/dark brown to blonde? Uhh, well I'm naturally really blonde, so I'm not sure if i can help you but .. you have to take it in steps, like dont dye it light blonde the first time, go up in shades. You should really get it professionally died, because they will add just the right tint of everything.
Heres steps on how to do it yourself! maybe im not sure haha.
:Examine your coloring and choose a shade that will enhance your beauty. Go for golden and sunny tones if you wear warm colors well, and opt for beige and ash shades if cool colors complement your complexion.
Step 1:
Remember that the color you see on the box will not be the color you end up with. To go within two shades of your natural color, select a shade lighter than what you desire, which when blended with your natural color will create the shade you're after. (You can then skip step 5.) To go more than two shades lighter than your natural hair color requires that you lift or strip your natural color, thereby creating a base on which you can deposit a new color.
Step 2:
Deep condition your hair a few days prior to your treatment. Before your process, wash hair with a clarifying shampoo or a mix of vinegar and baking soda. The former will strengthen your hair while the latter will remove any buildup or deposits.
Step 3:
Strip your natural color using a bleach or product specifically designed to lift color from your hair. The more dramatic the color change the more intense the stripper should be. Follow the directions exactly, especially the time limit, and remain calm as you see your hair turn a very strange color.
Step 4:
Proceed with the application of your desired permanent color - you cannot go lighter with semi-permanent color. Begin your color application about 1 inch from your crown and distribute to ends, saving the roots for last. For long or very curly hair you might need to buy two kits, as well as enlist a friend to assist you with the process.
Step 5:
Keep a detailed journal of your process, citing color names, application process and application time. This will come in handy for your touch-ups, or if you need professional advice on adjusting your shade.
Step 6:
Tend to your roots every three to four weeks for seamless color.
