Question

i want to dye my black hair blonde but would i have to bleach it first. i think its a good idea but should i?

Answer 1

I strongly do not recommend you to do that!
Bleaching your hair will ruin it forever! It's never going to go back to normal and you are really going to regret it.
You have beautiful black hair, why on earth do you want to dye it?
Is it going to match your face anyway?

Think again…
I personally wouldn't dye my hair if I were you.

Answer 2

No No No bleaching your hair will only damage so that when you do dye it blonde it will come out lookng dry and unhealthy you don't want that and plus your bleaching it from black hair hello I know youv'e seen what happens to black shirts that get put in with the white clothes with bleach it is not pretty first go to a salon or call one if you don't feel like going in and ask them about doing that gurantee you they will tell you to do it backwards its like going light to lighter a dark brown to a light brown then a dark blonde to a lighter blonde to however blonde you want it to be and tada but if you just want to jump into a blonde get it professionaly done because if you've never done it before your going to mess up or make a mistake and come out with a color you don't want and be mad as hell been there done that everyone has had a terrible dye or bleaching incedinet

Answer 3

If your hair is black, then you have to bleach it. The problem is the darker the colour, the more difficult it will be for the hair to become blonde. My natural hair colour is something between light brown and dark blond, but it was difficult to bleach it because it has a lot of red pigment in it. A professional did it (I had highlights), but even she found it difficult to get the right colour. And... when I first washed my hair, I found out it was almost impossible to brush it without tons of cream... the hair was destroyed. I had to wait until it grew again for it to be smooth as it used to be. There are some part that still have the highlights, but I can't wait to get rid of them! If you really want to be blonde, go ahead, but think a lot about that first.

Answer 4

I would say get it professionally done, absolutely. If you can afford it, it's a great alternative to having to do it yourself! :P

Bleaching your hair CAN damage it, just remember to pick yourself up a thick conditioner for colored hair (such as Pantene's Color Revival) and you'll be fine.
Roots can also be a problem, when they start to grow back in; but a touch-up dye job is much cheaper then the initial one is, and doesn't take nearly as long.

If you want blonde hair, then go for it! :)

I've been dying and bleaching my hair since I was about 14 years old, and despite all the "Your hair will fall off!" warnings, none of it ever happened. Those people are overreacting.
Right now, my hair is half black (in back), and bright, rainbow blue in front! :D I adore it.

Answer 5

This is a big job. You may want to go to a pro for this because there are so many levels to lift before you get the desired shade. You would have to bleach if you want the whole head. They have high volume peroxide up to 100 volume but you can't put it on your scalp. I don't think you can purchase it anyway unless you have a LI.
High vol with color can be used if you want to highlight.

If you bleach it remember it probably won't be blond, you may need to apply a toner too. It depends on how much red you have in your hair. Good Luck.

Answer 6

I wouldn't even attempt to try this one your self my sister did and ended up with green hair, not bright green but definitely a green haze all over what a mess, get the hair dresser to do it for you, so much better to pay a little out to look great than pay for a do it yourself job only to have to go to the hairdresser anyway, good luck I know you will love being a blond I do

Answer 7

do you really want to be a cloroed blonde? think about it - soon roots start to grow...it looks ugly. Then you have to bleach only your roots and so on, it is a bother. And then there are some palces that have orange glow or even worse. And it is extremly harmful for your hair! Think about it.....just for being a blonde...so much trouble. Blonde hair are worth it?
and they say : brunette is a new blonde.

Answer 8

Yes. If u r african american w/ natural black hair Special Effects is a superb brand. U can find it at any Hot Topic Store in the mall. If u r caucasian ypu can use the same brand.

Answer 9

if you really want to, try bleaching just a section of it first - like a few big streaks or the underneath part. that way, you can feel how dry and coarse bleach makes natural silky hair feel, and decide if you want that on your whole head.

Answer 10

i think it's better if you go to a professional to have your hair bleached. i know some people who bleached their hair themselves and it looks too dry and "unprofessional". the pay is worth it and you'll enjoy your hair more in the end. good luck!
