dark brown hair
G_Anonymous
Hi, i currently have darkish brown hair (dyed), but i'm contemplating going a light brown. Is it possible to buy a light brown dye and stick it on over, or will this not work?
Thanks x

No don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you do that it will take only on your roots, and you'll end up with light roots and dark hair on the rest!

To lighten up a dark (dyed) brown you would need to use some bleach or some form of colour stripper,..if you are fond of your hair condition I wouldn't go there!!!

You are better off with creating some high-lights at the top to break the dark colour.

Regards,

Val

Well first you would need to put bleach high-lights through, then top it with a oner/ semi-permanent to th ecolour you woul dlike to achieve...

I would make sure to do it professionally, especially if there is quitea differece between your roots and colour, as if not done carefully ...it can be very ugly...

reagrds,


Val

Hey there,..

Yeah it can look quite cool,..make it a bit more 3 dimensional,..but do keep trh weaves very fine,....as if you overload it with the blonde, it will clash with your olive skin.

Regards,

Val

Hey there,..

Well you are definitely looking at using bleach,....

You could either opt for bleaching the whole of the dark brown, and then apply a colour.
Chances are you will not get it back to your natural tone,..but perhaps a bit darker would be a more viable option...and then go lighter gradually. (you need to make sure you don;t get the bleach on your natural hair.

(DO THIS PROFESSIONALLY _ IF I WERE YOU)

The other option would be to have high-lights put in, so it breaks the dark colour, this would of course be more gentle for your hair too!

Regards,

Val
