I was wondering if Medium Brown hair can be lightened a shade or two with a semi permanent color like Natural Extincts?  My daughter wants to lighten her hair just a shade or two but likes the idea of a semi permanent since this is her first time coloring her hair.

Luminize is what you use to lighten just ONE or so http://www.clairolpro.com/products/liquid_lighteners/luminize_lightener
or

Excellence Cremelights for gentle highlights & not too much action...
http://www.lorealtechnique.com/bleaches_04.shtml

Kaliedocolors Powder for four or five levels.... http://www.clairolpro.com/products/powder_lighteners/kaleidocolors

Or Insta Whip http://www.clairolpro.com/products/liquid_lighteners/instant_whip a gentle liquid lightener...


A semi or a demi could tone the hair - tone on tone but not "lift"

It usually depends on color & level of hair, texture, condition & if you take a strand test you can watch it & bring it to the level you desire.
