I am going to dye my hair blonde...?

I had blonde hair, but as i grew older, it started turning brown, so about twice a year, I get blonde highlights touched up in my hair to make it look blonde again. I have become bored with the hightlights...I want to make it ALL blonde and am having a friend, (who dyes her hair blonde all the time and its really healthy), do it for me. Will it harm my hair? it is a light brown with blonde hightlights and pretty healthy. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to care for it, because I hear it becomes brittle and strawlike, and I guess I am just scared that my hair will fall out...I dont want to be bald. ;P



I am going to dye my hair blonde...?

I have done it for years. I too, had blonde hair as a child. And it has turned the same color as yours through the years.



I use L'Oreal's Preference in 9 1/2 BB which is a cool beige blond. It's a very nice blond color, rather light but not at all platinum. Ash is also a cool color, but looks gray--I don't like it. Warm colors have too much red for me.



Anyway, I do nothing special to keep my hair healthy. I use White Rain shampoo and Pantene conditioner. I do not use a beautician because I swear what they do is more brutal (and stinky). My hair is silky and not at all like straw. Granted, I do NOT perm it or use much hairspray, and when I use a hair dryer I wait until it's nearly dry and THEN dry it the rest of the way.



I have done this for over 20 years. My hair is thick as ever.



I say go for it! Hair colors do not make you bald. Just stay away from the stripper and bleaches. That is only used for dark brunettes and it's brutal on hair, and SHOULD be done by a salon. Just follow the directions on the haircolor box. Easy as pie!



EDIT: Unlike what somebody said up there, blond is not hard to keep. It can't fade! Just keep the roots touched up. And if you have red or gold highlights you don't like, use a cool blond color and you will not get red hair. I seem to be the only one here who has done this myself! Heck with the salon.

Look on the bright side if it does fall out you could always become a buddist.

i used to have really blonde hair as a kid but mine also turned brownish as i got older..



get it done at the hairdresser first and then have her touch it up when you need it.



that way its done correctly and will probably be a better overall colour and then you can just get it touched up! :)

Unless your friend is a professional don't let her do it. Go to a reputable salon, you need to be very careful when using over the counter hair dye blond will turn brown hair orange!

first of all unless youre friend majorly f*cks up your hair is not going to fall out.. yes dying it damages it.. also blonde is very hard to keep up especially when you have brown hair. your are going to have to dye it religiously every 4-6 weeks..



I also had blonde hair as a child that gradually got a little darker as I got older. ( then I had kids ) WOW!! talk about hormonal change overnight.. my hair went from dark blonde to medium brown.. needless to say I was a little shell shocked.. i believe the words what the f*ck happened to my hair?? came out of my mouth... I keep my hair medium brown with Caramel or honey colored highlights its very pretty and not much upkeep because when it starts to grow out it blends in.. so I dont have dark roots and light hair like you would if you had total blond hair.. also I use Redken All Soft shampoo and Conditioner.. to keep my hair soft.. I dye my hair about once every 4 months or so..saves money and also saves my hair.. did I mention if you have any Natural gold or red highlights (they dont have to show up to be there) in your hair blond will turn it orange ??? better to let a stylist do it..

Well, you could go bald because your friend don't have the same head as you.



You should go to a hair salon or something, buy hair dye thingy and read the instruction. it will say wether this that will harm you.



I am going to dye my hair blonde...?

Well any lift of color will damage your hair. I have my hair died very light blond and it is very damaged, leave the bleaching up to the pros %26lt;---strongly recommended! Or stick with the highlights you have and maybe get some low lights, maybe auburn or caramel, and if you do decide to go with your friend dyeing your hair, I recommend that you get a product called aPhogee, it is a PH balancer and it is done in two steps. you can get it at sally's or they have a website www.aphogee.com and it worked wonders for my hair for a few weeks. I would suggest getting the bottles though. Good luck

I know how you feel. And trust me the first time you definately want to go to a hairdresser, then you can ask tehm what products and brands to use for your hair.
