yeah i think if i decide to go through with it i will go to the salon...i don`t need to look like a clown with
orange red hair!!!

but i am still tossing the idea around.....who knows
it is hard cause one minute i want to then the next i don`t.

let me know if you do and how it turns out...
i had thought about the highlights too...we will see

i am sure i won`t perm it. my hair is sooo straight and thick and people tell me all the time they wished that they had my hair....

I am a medium to dark brown now - a little grey! I am considering a LOT of highlights to really it lighter - enough to cover the grey. I figure I can always bleach it all if I decide to go REALLY blonde. Still trying to get up the nerve. Getting closer to saying YES! I will be going to a salon. I know better to try the do-it-yourself method.

I was thinking like a golden blonde not to white that is what I was going for....
especially since I am going from medium brown to blonde it will be a big step and I may freak out....
ha ha but who knows I may like it enough to want to go lighter.


what about you??

How dark is your hair? If it`s light brown you can probably lighten it successfully on your own with a box, but if it`s much darker you may end up with an obvious brassy tone (I did! Never doing THAT again!) Haircolor from a box usually can`t lift darker hair to a nice blonde; instead, it often only goes to red/orange, in which case you have to bleach it to a sunny shade.

I do recommend going to salon for your first coloring experience, or at least to determine how your hair will lighten with coloring products. (I wish I had.......thankfully it`s mostly grown out now.) My personal advice: always proceed with caution when experimenting with color if a natural look is your goal. Good luck!!!!!!! :-)
