If you buy a box dye that is a few shades lighter,( I would try something several shades lighter because you don't really want to deposit color but lift it, also that would be easier to correct later) all you will really need to do is mix the color with the developer (usually peroxide) put it on your hair evenly, wait 20-30 minutes depending on what the directions say, and wash it out. Then do your normal routine of shampooing and conditioning unless the box comes with a conditioner than you can use that. It is nice to strand test first, Also if you have long hair 2 boxes may be needed. Although you do have to cover your roots, you might not want to start at the root but rather blend to the root after covering the entire head to avoid a halo close to the scalp where the hair color is brighter or blonder than the rest because of heat generated from the skin and that causing the developer and color solution to activate more quickly.

I would honestly stay with brown hair. Having a lighter hair color than your own makes it VERY obvious when your roots come in. And blondes with dark roots just look cheap and tacky. Don't be one of those.
Go to Sally's Beauty Supply and talk to the people there about what you should use to put some red highlights in your hair. Or you could find another shade of brown that brings out your natural highlights. That way when your hair grows, it wouldn't be painful to look at.

Did you come to the right woman. If you want to color your hair go to health store of your choice and get a natural color. Everything is in the box about $10.00. Follow directions exactly and have a friend do the back for you.
