Hair dye help

[sweetmaryjane10]

Ok hoping someone can help. I was messing around with snap chat earlier and found a hair colour that really suits me but I have no idea what colour dye I would need. I'm looking to use granier nurriesse if that helps. The picture of the back of my hair is natural colour and the other one is the colour I would like it to be

You won't get that to that blonde from your natural colour via a box dye alone. You would have to pre-lighten it first and it is absolutely not worth trying to do this yourself unless you know what you're doing. Trust to my experience, I've ruined my hair many times. Wait until you can go to a hairdresser.

It’s a darker blonde, something slightly warm like honey blonde perhaps

You won’t get that colour at home as an amateur, chances are you’ll end up with a patchy orange mess as you do need to lighten your hair by bleaching it first. If you have dyed your hair before it can be much more difficult to get an even result too.

Even if you go to a salon, that colour may not be achievable in one sitting. I think 2 sessions of highlights would get you there.

Anyone else have any helpful suggestions regarding my post?

Helpful advice here is wait for a hairdresser. I had similar hair colour. You can't box dye it lighter unless you want very light. And when I tried the bronde streaks box I went very ginger.

Sorry I agree you need to wait. You risk getting brassy if you attempt to go several shades lighter yourself.
I've been dying my hair at home for four decades and wouldn't go this different by myself.

PPs gave you helpful advice. Lightening at home if you have no idea about box dyes and hair dyes, it will result in orange patchiness. An ashy blonde dye will result in possibly a few shades lighter for your hair colour with an orange under tone. You’ll need professional lightening and toning to achieve that colour, and it will likely be over 3/4 sessions to get the best colour and minimal damage. Honestly, I’d you’re not bothered about ruining it and spending the same amount on multiple dyes to get your hair right, go ahead (just do patch tests first) but chances are you’ll either bleach it and it’ll go wrong or you’ll hate it after 2/3 attempts to get to that colour and buy a brown to cover it (which will also never look right). I speak from experience my entire life has been hair dye disasters from box dyes. I ever never saved money just ruined my hair.

Hairdresser here ... you won't get this at home with box dyes... or even with professional products if you are inexperienced.
Wait for the salons to open

Ok so what's an affordable hairdresser

My sister just said I can buy at home hair lighteners so anyone have any ideas which ones i would need

Google it since you don't seem to want to listen to those who have answered you already 😉

Or y could just help me

Yeah I also found the request for “helpful comments” catty. Fuck it - just do it yourself hun

Ok so this site isn't very friendly

To be fair, you were rude when dismissing the advice people gave you.

Since lockdown there are countless threads where people have attempted to bleach their own hair or lighten their own hair at home. I don't think any of them have been successes.

Honestly the helpful advice is to wait for the hairdressers to re open, doing it at home and having to pay for it to be fixed if it goes wrong would cost a lot more than having a hairdresser do it in the first place.

You will definitely end up orange! I've gone from blonde to blonde and still ended up orange, yellow roots and orange ends, a great look. Even the home lighteners will do this. I agree with everyone else. Go to a hairdresser when you can

I'm sorry you fee that way OP. I agree that at times some responses can be a bit rough.
But I also think you get out what you put in - be nice to people and they'll be nice back.
You asked for advice, you got some advice. You didn't like it and got a bit nippy. People got nippy back 🤷‍♀️

I think all of the previous posters have been very friendly and offered excellent advice i have bleached my own hair and messed it up so many times.

At very least get a friend to help so you can get it even. Do the ends first and roots last. Use the lowest volume peroxide you can get away with. Never bleach more than once without giving your hair a chance to recover.

And buy a hat because it will go wrong, be patchy, lighter at the roots and probably a weird orange colour.

Seriously wait for a hairdresser.

As you're not listening to all the others I'll say do it yourself.

I will warn you though it's going to be a fairly expensive mistake though when you have to have a colour correction at a salon when they open.

I'm saying this from experience, if you wanna neon orange do then go ahead.

DS1 went from darker than that to blond. He used A shwartzkopf platinum blonde bleach which turned him a lovely shade of "ginger nut". A few weeks later he put a blond shade by Olia over it. It still looked shit and patchy and he has considerably less hair than you! It will take less time to grow out too. DS2 also went ginger nut at stage 1 but decided to go back to brown at stage 2 - it still looks decidedly dodgy!

Conversely, one of his friends who has a hairdresser as a mother has hair that looks fabulous. I can't think why...
