Well, I just did the stipping of the hair thing at the salon, and they gave me orange hair.... They didn't use a good toner. So the next day I went to walmart and bought L'Oreal Superior Preference 8A Ash Blonde and it took the orange right out and now I look like a blond!!! Love It!!!![/b]

first strip the darkest areas on your hair besides your roots with a color stripper.roots will be white so do the dyed parts until they are even first,then do roots.after apply a lightest blonde dye.dont use ash blonde because it will go green.

Well you will have to remove or strip the colour to go a lighter shade. You cannot remove colour with additional colour, it will make it darker. I reccommend you go to a salon, even though it is expensive, if you want it done correctly. Otherwise you will spend $200 to fix it!!! Otherwise you can buy a bleach kit (which i don't really approve of!) and bleach your hair to an orangy base, then choose the medium brown colour you want, but make sure the colour you chose to go over that orangy base has ASH in it, as this will cut the yellow/orange colour!

To people who have dyed their hair dark brown and it turned out black , just be patient because after a week or two it will loose that black tone and fade to dark brown, at least this is my experience.....but it may be because i live in a hot climate so maybe the sun bleaches it.

[In Need Of Advice..]

Hey Just in need of some advice here ...I have natrually dark brown hair and about November time last year dyed it 'light golden brown' which did not appear to have much effect on my hair so I just got fed up and dyed it a really dark brown with blonde chunks which was all good. However, now this dark brown has faded the light brown I had previously dyed it in November has finally come through which has produced an overall nice, golden colour BUT my dark roots are coming through now as the colour was put in like 4months ago. SO more to the point...I am liking the light colour and wish to pursue it and maybe even go a shade lighter.
Will the following procedure be successful. . .
Use a high-lighting cap and kit to put in really subtle, thin blonde high lights just through my top layers of hair THEN use the same 'light golden brown' dye ALLOVER my hair (even over the blonde high-lights)
Am I correct in predicting this to make my hair generally lighter with subtle hints of blonde through it ?If so I will do so next week before I go on holiday...Is this wise?
Thanks to anyone with the time to read my lifestory and help me with some of their advice lol x

Always, ALWAYS, have an extra box of brown around if you are toying with making your hair blonde...
what works for one person is NEVER garunteed to work for another...

TRUST me.

that, and going blonde will ALWAYS cause some damage, but I have found that going dark again usually fixes the worst of it...

come on guys, face it... brunetts are better...

try using bleach and 12% peroxide to lighten up your hair.
the longer you leave it on... the lighter your hair will go.

My natural hair colour is BLACK but iv managed to dye mine a very light shade of blonde, it actually looks much better than my natural colour, it took alot of bleaching but cos i condition it everyday my hairs still shiny and not very brittle. The only problem i have is roots, i have to dye the roots every month, but i use a blonde hair dye which surprisingly works on my black hair :S So it is possible to go blonde from dark hair but it does take a while to get it to the shade you want
