Dark Brown hair to Blonde

by Hannah Charlton
(Leicestershire, UK)

I have naturally dark drown hair. But last summer i went blonde, and soon got bored of this and so dyed it with a home dye kit - brazillian brunnette, Loreal colouring.

However after all that dying im now missing my blonde locks, how easy is it going to be to get back to blonde (of the christina aguilera variety)?

Back to blonde
by: Michelle

Hi Hannah,

Removing a dark brown artificial pigment will require some serious work... especially for an all-over blonde. Read our advice on hair color removal to learn about the process.

Another option is to foil in some highlights. However, this does require the use of bleach, and can have a dire effect on the condition of your hair.

Since you were recently blonde, that damage still exists on your hair (unless you keep your hair very short and all of the previously blonded hair has been cut off). Re-lightening will create further damage, which will definitely require some reconstructing treatments.

All the best,
Michelle

Black dyed hair to a platinum blonde or close to it
by: Anonymous

My natural hair color was brown and iv got sick of it. and decided to dye it black. Now the summer is coming by, and i wanted to have a nice bright color, My hair is very very long, but i am deciding to cut it pretty short up to my shoulders, and layering and whatever else has to be done, if i was to go blonde and could do it without having so much demange in my hair. My question is it posible to do this ?
