[xxkiexx]

I have dark brown hair and i want to go lighter, but i want to do it at home.... can anyone give me any tips?? thanks xx

hi iv been dyin my hair for years ... about jan i had dark brown hair and wanted it blonde so slapped a poroxide on it and it went orange ..im still in the prosess of getting it the blonde i want .but i did know it would do this .. if ur not botherd about havin orange hair for a while slap it on if not then i think u should do t gradually with streaks adding a few more each time u do it .. hope that helps ..

"if ur not botherd about havin orange hair for a while slap it on"

LOL can this be quote of the week?

lol iv had so many disasters its unreal

Why do you want to do it at home? Have you got someone to help you put the dye on?

slap it on i say lol

Lmao well i actually did it today as i didn't think anyone was going to reply, and im not so much orange as copper! but im thinking it looks kinda funky! Oh and i also wanted it done at home cuz i dont have the 40 pound salon prices

If you're going lighter definitely go to the salon because it will stress your hair and they will condition it well for you.

oops - sorry I didn't read the whole thread

i thort it lookd cool to lol

think i should try an put bleach blonde highlights through it?

I want to go lighter because i have a fair skin toneand dark hair, it makes me look like morticia adams if i go lighter i dont look so washed out

lol thats why i wanted to go lighter . i looked ill and it aged me 10 years .. i think highlights wouldbe a good idea

noooooooo don't do it.....was brassy orange and frazzled all last week

back to morticia now.

lol

if u do frazzle ur hair use a conditioner for carrabian hair it brings it bak to life again

will remember for future inevitable dyeing failures...........thanks sazjaz

lol i have bleached my whol head before and ended up white!!! that was a big mistake lmao

lol.. at least if it goes wite you can choose a nice colour for it...
i used one of those colours with highlighting kit.....twasn't good

i dye mine at home. they only thing i would say is be careful of colours that have a lot of red in them. with each wash the colour will fade but as red is the strongest pigment, all the other shades get washed out first so the colour will end up going redder and redder over time. eg if you go for a warm blonde, it fades to more of a strawberry blonde over time.

i always go for a colour with cool tones in it now instead as i've had so many red disasters. ash tones colour better at home. and you should really only go 1 or 2 shades lighter or darker than your natural colour. anything more drastic than that really needs doing professionally.
