How to go from brunnette to blonde?

Has anybody used the new loreal Dream Blonde complete color and care system in extra light blonde 11? My natural haircolor is a dark brown and I want to try this but I am scared my hair is going to turn orange…

Answer #1

If I were you I wouldent change your whole hair color. If you want some change then try getting highlights at a Solon. Thats what I did. But I’ve heard that brunettes are the new blond. And remember that once you change it its not going to change for a long while. I personnaly dont trust the from-the-box things but its your choice. I just think that even if you get it done professionally and dont like the color then at least they still look pro.

umm if you do it your hair might turn orange. but make sure that you bleech your hair. So go to a hair solon and buy the stuff to bleach it so you can prevent it from turning orange

I have come to the conclusion that no matter what the box says, if you start with dark brown hair, your hair will not change to a beautiful blonde in one application, no matter what the box says! if you leave it on for the 60 minutes max time, your hair will be a gingery/yellow/orange. leaving it on longer will lighten it more but you do risk totally frying your hair. I have naturally very dark brown hair. I used loreal super blonde, which shows before and after pics of dark hair like mine, and a results pic of gorgeous blonde hair. and like I said, it is a ginger/yellow color. I was a dummy and researched after bleaching my hair. what I found out was that the stuff in a box is not strong enough. best bet for dark hair is to go to sallys and purchase powder bleach and a creme developer at least 40 volume. and pretty much count on having to do it more than once. thats what im doing.

I would get it dyed professionaly. Box dyes tend to look a bit trashy when changing colors drastically.
