Can I get my dark brown hair blond with store bought hair dye?

It all depends on how 'blond' is the 'blond' you want because if the difference between your dark brown hair and the blond you want is too big, you might need to bleach/ pre-lighten your hair to achieve the result. My best advice is to visit a professional hairdresser.

Store bought brands do not lighten as much as professional hair color does. Your best bet is to look for permanent hair dye and check the back of the box. You will want to buy the lightest blond color available.

Once you flip the box around and view the color chart and what your hair should look like, you will find that it matches your desired color, or hopefully close. My other suggestion is to visit the salon. If you want to go many shades lighter, for best results turning to a beautician may be the answer.

You will not have to guess if your hair will get light enough. You simply choose the shade you want and let the professional do the work. You will be more pleased with the results.

You really do not need to go to the most expensive salon to get a great hair color. Choose a cheaper salon, if money is an issue. Chances are you will still like the results much better than doing it at home with store bought hair dye.

Good luck!

It sounds from your question as if you have tried before to lighten your hair without much success. I think your hair may be trying to tell you something like "I don't like what you are doing to me! " All joking aside, if you have very dark hair it is not wise to try to lighten it yourself by more than a couple of shades, which you could do with a permanent hair color.

The only thing which will really make dark hair blonde, is bleach and having seen a good few disasters among my friends who have tried to bleach their own hair, I really would leave it to a professional hairdresser. To try it yourself is risking ending up with very strange colored hair which is in terrible condition. Have you considered the high maintenance involved with keeping the roots re-touched?

Blonde hair with dark roots looks really tacky and they will need to be done every few weeks. Another possibility is blonde highlights, this gives a very attractive blonde look to dark hair and the roots are not nearly so much of a problem. Check out the photo to see the effect.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
