I need the full monty answers on becoming a blonde, I'm clueless. Please also list what bleach brand works the best, only brands that are common in a lot of stores, such as target. Thank you!

Sweetie, as far as I know, the only bleach you'll find in Target is Clorox, and you certainly don't want to use that.

Give us more info. What is your current hair color? Is it long, short, thick, thin? Does it currently have ANY kind of dye in it? If so, what kind? Is it permed/relaxed/chemically straightened?

Also, if you don't have any sort of hair experience, you might be best off seeing a pro. I'd hate for you to melt your hair off or something awful like that.

You can go blonde with stuff you buy at Sally beauty supply (or other beauty supply), but you aren't going to have much luck getting good results with drug store boxes. I would go to a salon if there is no beauty supply shop near you.

My hair is thin, oily to some degree, and has some coloring in it but im not worried about that because I have a pro to fix it. I just don't know what brands to use and what color to color it afterwards. I want to aim for darker blonde and my current hair color is dark brown (natural). Anything else?

If you already have color in your hair, you should see a pro about going blond. That could really complicate the process of going blond.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
