yeah, because you'll need to prelighten the hair to make it light enough..

So after I bleach my hair, then I could turn it light brown?

I think you should go for a light brown highlift dye.

Brown highlift dyes have heavier dyeload and built in drabbers to make sure the hair doesn't turn out brassy. If you mix a normal dye with 40 vol, you'll get very litte deposit. 

What is your current haircolor?

If you can't get hold of a brown highlift dye (you can get it at beauty supplies).. you can get bleach and bleach the hair to orange, then apply then use the light brown dye.

It prob better to use 30 vol as it equals 3 levels of lift but still deposits color, the problem with using a light  brown color on dark hair w/ 40 vol, would prob just take ur hair to that orangey stage and not deposit as much, well i'm pretty thats the case with colors darker than blonde.

In one application, do you think that would turn my hair the light brown I want it?
