im a hairdresser and i would advise u to go 2 a salon because if u do it wrong then it can be a hard job putting it right 4 u again. print the pic off and take it with u ask them there advise and ask to c the colour chart. if u are medium blonde this colour change shouldnt be a problem but just remember that ur roots will come through very quick and will be noticable with it being an all over colour. u could perhaps discuss having hilights for the first couple of times to c if u like it 1st. just be carefull who u go to and what u do with ur hair afterwards,
good luck

Definitely go to a salon. Anytime you need to lift color from your hair go to a professional that is good at color. Not every cosmetologist is good at it either. Never hurts to ask. I usually ask for someone who has experience working with bleach since I am a natural dark blonde and I go platinum! I have been this color for 6 years now, I love it! It's alot of upkeep though, so if you don't have time or the money to be keeping up with your hair every 3-4 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows, I wouldn't suggest going very light. You will definitely need to invest in some good hair products also to keep your hair healthy.

Have a go at doing it yourself, I myself am naturally dark blonde/mousy and I have dyed my hair light blonde.
There is no need for prelightener as your hair isn't that dark to warrant it. I would go for a dye that says extra light ash blonde because the ash colours are less brassy and are cooler in tone. go for it girl! with the money saved at the hairdressers you could buy yourself something nice to go with that new blonde bombshell look.

No prelightening is needed. I'd go to a salon because that woman in the picture is obviously bleached.

Hi,
Go to the salon as ur r less likely to go yellow that way and they have stuff to counteract it if it does!!
Good luck!!
PS Its gonna sting to bleach it that blonde!! and the routes look like hell when they come through, y not try having blonde slices through it that way the roots wont be so bad!

Don't forget toner when you bleach. It'll take out the brassiness in your hair. Also, buy special extra moisturizing conditioner when you're done. It'll be a few hours of bleaching to get it that light.

Hiya,
Some people are so rude. Lol anyways, you will have no trouble at all doing it yourself. L'Oreal is a good colour to do. No pre-lightener is needed. Go for it, make sure you read the manuals thouroughly before use.
Good Luck, it will look fab, trust me xoxoxox

I would treat yourself and go to the hairdressers ask 2 book in with the traniee it will cost you a fraction of the price and they are always supervised.

the best thing is going to the salon with the pic and having it done people always make mistakes with blonde hair
