Well. All you do is dye it and make sure you use alot of conditioner in your hair when you wash it so the chemicals won't damage your hair. Wait at least 2 days after dying your hair to wash it or the dye will come out. I have learned from past expirences. And after its been two days wash your hair everyother day. Washing your hair too much can take out natural oils your hair needs and you are gonna really need them once you put those chemicals in your hair

I also was born with light brown hair. I loved blonde hair from a very young age so I have pretty much spent my 22 years attempting perfection in this area, so I can answer the danger factor question from my own personal experience. It's not going to be a picnic for your hair, but it isn't going to make it fall out either. I'm not a cosmetologist, and definitely no professional, so my wisdom is less than sagacious. (sp?)
1. Keep your hair well conditioned after coloring. When using a home kit, most provide a conditioner to use after you color. Don't forget about the conditioner, try to get four uses out of it so that you can use every couple weeks after the dye job. The texture and general feel of my own hair is much better when I condition constantly.
2. My friend sitting next to me said to tell you that the hot oil treatments that can be purchased in the drugstore also help in preventing damage. I have only used hot oil treatment once, but it definitely didn't hurt my hair.
3. The blonde shampoos and conditioners debate. Ummm, I've never loved the John Frieda stuff, however Pantene Pro V's is pretty good for this and I'm dying to try sunsilk. I don't know why and this is definitely not true of all hair products but it seems like the more it costs the better. The tressume products are crappy.
4. Make sure that you have atleast $100-150 extra in your bank account. I have only ever had to fix one dye job that I did to myself, however, I was glad for that extra dough to let a professional colorist clean up my mistake. I thought it would be rottenly expensive, but it was about $120 with the gratuity included.
5. For lack of a better phrase, if you go to a salon, bring your "cahonies" with you and tell them if you don't like what they've done! A good stylist/colorist will not let you walk out unhappy. Going blonde from our shade can be costly this way. An all over dye application won't be horrible, maybe 60-80, but when you get a solid color dye, and then highlights it gets up to the 120 or so range.
Okay. Hope this helps!

dying hair isn't going to kill you, lol. it will damage it though. i say you're safe as long as you keep it hydrated and don't dye it every other day. i say go for it (boo blondes you traitor!!!)

It will be fine if you get it done professionally. They will help you with color swatches and lots of advice on shades that match your complexion the best.
