Light brown hair cannot be lightened to a nice blonde color without bleaching it first.  You will always have those brassy undertones peaking through.  Best to bleach and tone if you want light blonde.  Now, medium blonde with a warm tone is attainable.  Good luck!

Not true Rebekah,I have done it many times with my own light brown hair.
However,there is a product called super blue or something like that.It is like bleach,but a kit you can buy (in any drugstore) that will lighten hair.It may turn werid colors at first,but dont freak.Just then pick a blonde shade that you like and color over top. Mine looked a light orange and I dyed with a ash blonde and it turned out perfectly. Good luck.
