I have super dark hair and both my sister and a friend of mine tried to dye it at home and do highlights but nothing stuck. I had to have a "base" put on it and then the hairdresser dyed it lighter and added highlights. I kept it up until I bought a house and had to quit and now I like being back to my natural color. It's fun to experiment though!Kristie W. https://www.blogger.com/profile/14592768361465370678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-22365993557978726902014-01-08T15:13:01.855-05:002014-01-08T15:13:01.855-05:00I want to dye my hair blonde too!

But I agree with some of the others that you probably have to spring for a professional dye job to get your color down as light blonde as on the box. Have you considered just blonde highlights? I think they'd look great on you, and the grow out on highlights isn't as glaring as a full dye job, making it easier to go a bit longer between salon visits (and more time to save pennies!). Good luck, but you look great no matter what color your hair is!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611423035852851829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-49051133555153300502014-01-07T10:51:28.151-05:002014-01-07T10:51:28.151-05:00Thank you!

I tried to dye my roots blonde by myself once and ended up looking like I'd scribbled yellow highlighter on my hair. Your hair doesn't look like that though--the lighter color is very natural-looking and pretty on you! But since your hair is so dark it might be tough to go super blonde without seeing a professional.Sarah W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07224715715347066948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-22715823740019684822014-01-06T14:54:19.616-05:002014-01-06T14:54:19.616-05:00Haha I love that Matt didn't notice the differ...Haha I love that Matt didn't notice the difference - that is something my husband would definitely do! I really like the lighter color - I think it's a good change without too much drama. I have heard a lot of horror stories about people trying to go blonde themselves, so it might be worth saving up to go to a salon?Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059085768008005379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-46496863403733356862014-01-06T12:20:04.756-05:002014-01-06T12:20:04.756-05:00You know, that's a possibility I hadn't co...You know, that's a possibility I hadn't considered.

It looks like you have a few highlights, too, and it's very natural. I wonder if your aunt had her hair professionally done years ago and then kept dyeing it on her own after that? I think it would be hard to go so blonde (from darker hair) at home, since there is so much processing involved. This color looks great on you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692432429504505818noreply@blogger.com
