How do I color my dark brown hair into blonde without ending with brassy reddish tones?

Question

I colored my hair with feria ash blonde but it ended reddish, which I hate! I went to Sally's beauty supply and say this tiny package that says "take the red out" or something like this. You're supposed to put 5 drops of this things into your hair dye.....has anyone ever heard of this? Maybe I could mix two types and colors of hairdye? Maybe one of those HI-LIFT from loreal?

Please, if your answer is "go see a professional", I don't need your answer...the last three pros I went to sucked!!

Answer 1

I did that before and i stripped my hair and then dyed it dark ash blonde and it came out dirty blonde. Email me and i'll give you more information and the product to use to strip it.

Answer 2

Going from dark to light is NOT coloring it is removing color. It is a bleaching process . Although I rarely say this , THIS is a job better left to professionals . . . most people end up with hair that looks like straw.
Perhaps , after the bleaching, some blond color is added back in ,
but the bleaching really trashes hair so have a hairdresser do it.

Answer 3

Yeah that No Red works i put it in with my hair dye every time.If your wanting it a really good blond there is a package at sally and it is called quick blue it is awesome and it doesn`t have that horrible smell like other bleach does just go to sallys and there should be someone there that should be able to help you and tell you right from wrong .

To lighten that many shades, you have to take out all the color first using a bleach. Your hair will look almost white, or platinum and now you have a "clean slate". Then you can apply the blonde color of your choice.

If you've never done this before, it's best to go to a salon, and one that has color specialists.

Answer 5

In order to get blonde from brown, you need to use a bleach. Just using a hair color won't give you the results you want.

Answer 6

DONT bleach it! If you use an LIGHT ASH BLONDE from a box that should work. ON the box it looks a little dull but it will keep the brassiness out!

Answer 7

if you have blonde hair this will naturally get bleached by the particular sun in the summer. There had been this guy in my class who else had golden blonde hair that had been a medium brown near the bottom. When he came back to school after summer vacation, it was almost platinum blonde!

Answer 8

Jet black hair. I have truly dark brown hair and I believe dark hair looks better. I avoid really like blonde hair.

Answer 9

Bleach it!
But I suggest you go get it done professionally.
