I have TONS of advice because I just did this myself (kinda).
This can be Very tricky,and it may not look how you want it to when you're done. My hair wasnt bleached,it was just lifted with one of those "maximum lifting in one box" deals. And i have heard bleached hair is even harder to get to go darker.
I have also read Alot on this site that in order to go from blonde to brown,you have to go RED first. (I didnt do that at first,and it would have saved me alot of time and trouble!!!) You have to add color back to the hair,so you make the red a filler,and then put the brown over top.
Also,the haircolor may fade very quickly and you may have to color more then once.
(I had to do mine 3 times before it really stuck) You should use a demi (semi-permanate) whichs just adds color and doesnt take any away.
Please contact www.clairol.com before doing anything though~you can have a free hair color consultation with a specialist and they can help guide you.
Or,go talk to a hairstylist and ask their advice.
Best of luck to you~I hope it goes well!

I bleached my hair light blonde a few months ago and now want to go to a more natural color, such as light brown. My natural haircolor at the roots is dark brown. I'm just getting tired of having to bleach my roots every month, it's tiresome and my hair is getting damaged. Plus, the blonde doesn't look that great on me. I would also like to grow my hair longer. Right now it's about chin length. Any suggestions on what haircolor product I should use on my bleached hair? Thanks!!!
