Blonde hair, how to get blonde hair, dye hair from brown to blonde, blonde hair dye tips, home dying blonde hair.

Obviously it's best to go to a salon and get your hair dyed properly but if you are determined to go blonde at home here are a few tips, the darker your hair colour the more difficult it will be to go blonde, make sure that your hair is in good condition before you try and dye it and if you have had it relaxed, permed or dyed before then leave it for a few weeks to settle down and get the chemicals out.

You'll need a pack of pre-lightener and some blonde dye (you may need more than one pack of pre-lightener if you have long hair), do a sensitvity test and a strand test, apply pre-lightener to the strand and wait and see how it changes. This gives you an approximate time for leaving the pre-lightener on and gives you a good idea of how your hair is going to react to the process.

It's always best to have a friend to help you because it's hard to see anything around the back of your head. Start applying the pre-lightener as specified by the instructions, you normally do this with a comb starting at the roots and working towards the ends until the whole head is covered and save a little in case you need it for touching up, within 10 minutes you'll see your hair starting to change colour and over the next 45 minutes your hair will go through colour changes from brown, light brown, dark orange, light orange, bright yellow and pale yellow, don't get frightened and take it off too early, this is what's supposed to happen, but don't let your hair turn white either.

Now you have pre-lightened hair take your earlier strand test and apply some of the blonde dye, time it to see exactly how long it takes to get to the shade of blonde that you want and then do the same to your head quickly and smoothly, when time is up, rinse and condition, hey you are now a blonde.
