Over the past weeks I've been dying my hair blonder and blonder, as I was just bored with my medium to dark brown hair that I have had pretty much all my life. Instead of going to the hairdresser, I actually decided to do my own hair with package dye despite all the negative experiences I read online.
For me, this actually worked pretty well. I dyed it multiple times (three to be exact) and it took me about a month and a lot of purple shampoo to get the shade I actually wanted. The shade my hair currently is, is in between an honey and ashy blonde and I absolutely love it. I started with lightening my hair two or three shades, this made my hair lighter (but still brown). Then I used a peroxide spray, the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray, two times to lighten it even more.
Then I decided to opt for a 9 out of 10 shade of blonde hair dye by Garnier which made my hair quite blonde without any orange tones. The only problem was that when I cut my hair short, and shaved the sides of my head, the brown came through within days. I decided to dye it again, three days ago to be honest, and got a warm honey blonde shade from L'Oréal Paris.
Of course my hair turned a bit more orange than I wanted now and then, not 'carrot orange' but just a bit more orange toned blonde. I used the Provoke Touch of Silver treatment shampoo twice a week for about 15 to 20 minutes each time, and the La Riche Directions White Toner as conditioner when I used the purple shampoo. This gets rid of the warmer tones right away.
And that's about it! I absolutely adore my hair right know because the colour suites me so much more than the brown did in my opinion. Did you dye you hair recently?
Just a last quick note, if you have very dark and long hair I recommend to go to a professional salon and get it done. Most people dying their hair blonde at home turn orange and your hair does get really damaged. Things that have worked out good for me might now work as well for you.
