Answer 1

Get it done professionally. Especially when going lighter.

Answer 2

The hair coloring products in the drug store are remarkably good, will give you the color you're looking for (see examples on the box). About $10 will give you a whole new look, for about a week. The main problem with lightening your hair is what happens to the roots. Be prepared to spend hours keeping it looking right, and doing it every few weeks if you do the whole thing. The roots show almost immediately when there's a big change in color, and dark roots look awful, I think. A better solution is to put light streaks in first, see if you like it. That way roots arent such a problem. And check out the colors close to your own so you can go back to original if you want.
Also, the color does change (yellower) from sunlight, or if it grows long. You have to keep restoring it. Can be hard on your hair. The chemistry: going lighter requires a strong peroxide-type bleach. Going darker doesn't.

Answer 3

Dont get super blonde highlights. Try a honey color instead that way you know you are safe from orange. If you do want the really blonde ones then dont leave the dye on very long!

Answer 4

Defiantly get it done professionally. I died my light brown hair hair bleach blond with an at home kit and my hair looked AWFUL! It was orangish blond...then when I tried to dye it back brown it was brown for a while then turn orange.

Answer 5

Try a light golden brown first, then try golden blonde, then light blonde, then very light blonde. If you go just from brown to blonde, your hair will be very damaged and the ends will break/split. Gradually work your way up to the color you want.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

It will be blonde. Go to a specialist. They may have to do a final toner on it to take out any orange. Also you may need to use a toning shampoo every other day. This keeps the orangy/yellowy out. "brassiness"

Answer 7

You need to go that blonde in stages. It WILL go orange or yellow if you try to do it in one step.

Also, buy yourself some good hair toner, and use if to keep the blonde from oxidising and turning coppery/brassy.

Please though, don't try to do it all in one step, it WON'T work and you will look odd. Do it gradually.

Answer 8

When you go to the store look on the side of the box there is a color chart on the side (of some not all) match up your color and the one you are buying and it will show you. Hope you like it

Answer 9

You should bleach it until it's close to the shade you want, then dye it with the blond color. Careful not to damage your hair too much.

Answer 11

You should get it professionally done. They can make sure it turns out how you like it, but if you do it on your own you are risking it turning orange or yellow.
