How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde?

RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde? Post By zoe =) (Guest Post) (11/17/2008) I currently have bleached blonde hair and would love to try dark (almost black). If I don't end up liking it. How can I go back to the bleached blonde? Please any help will do! Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde?

I go to the drugstore and get hair color removal (two boxes should work) and then buy the color you want. After using color removal use hair color immediately. Just use hair repair masks for a while after using cuz hair will get dry. Easy as pie. I have been to pro's and sometimes they do worse than my dog could do. Save yourself the $$ and go to the drugstore. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde?

You know those women whose hair looks like hay. I used to lighten my hair which is dark blond-light brown. I use Natrutint and order it online. This hair color was recommended to me by my stylist of 10 years for when I'm in a pinch with my roots and out of town. It has no peroxide and covers any grey hair well. Since I moved out of state I've been using Natrutint for a year and love the consistency of the color. I now color my hair darker and I get compliments all the time about how healthy my hair looks. Darker color does not open the the hair shaft, drying the hair. You get a shiny glow. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde?

There are semi permanent colors that will wash out in 6 weeks but if your goal is to go lighter than your natural color welcome to the world of coloring your hair girlfriend.

I've dyed my hair all kinds of colours, many times, and i would still not mess around with that blue powder! i did a strand test once and thank god because my hair broke with hardly any stress on it. Sun-in will only turn your hair orange. If you insist upon doing it yourself you need to get a pre-lightening kit before you put your preferred shade of blonde on top. The final thing is bearing in mind that this is a 'thrifty' site, the upkeep for being blonde is costly in my book. But that's up to you! Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde? Post By Cathy from Townsville, QLD (Guest Post) (06/13/2008) Hi Anna First of all, I disagree with the above comment 'Dye is your only choice'. That's rubbish. I have naturally blonde hair, so when I dye it (even using brown colours), it goes brassy blonde. The best way to avoid this is to not use dyes. What I use, is a blue bleaching powder bought from a pharmacy, and mixed with peroxide. It bleaches the hair, but beware, it is a permanent effect. Not having any dye in my hair means it does not go brassy blonde and looks quite natural if you streak it. You can buy peroxide in the same shop at 6% or 12% strength - talk to the retailer about what would suit you best. Good luck with it! Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde?

Your can use it with the sun or with the blow dryer. Try just on a piece at first to see what color you will get. If your hair it really dark it might turn orange so be careful.

I can't imagine risking my hair to a homemade idea, then wondering why it's a wierd color and feels like straw? What could be more important? Save money on something else if you really wanna be blonde. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Do I Make My Dark Hair Blonde? Post By (Guest Post) (06/08/2008) Dye is going to be your only choice.
