dark brown to blonde... how far to go?

That's what I would do and write down the times.  It "may" take three bleachings, but you never know. 

Yes, I think your hair is beautiful too.  Personally wouldn't change a thing.  A blonde wig would be fun for you though.  The only reason I change my hair is because I used to be a yellow-golden blonde as a child and I really wanted my color back.  I'm glad you will be keeping your color , do what makes YOU most happy.

i am sorry i called him an ass 3 times....was just thinking of the harm to your beautiful hair.....

To be honest my husband & I think u shouldn't color it at all.U have very pretty dark hair.Blonde is the worse for your hair.I could understand it if u had a ugly color like my natural color.Mine is golden brown.I say u r lucky to have that choc. brown hair.If u wanted something diff. & easy.I'd do red highlights.I color mine red all over.Plus, coloring over hair with red tones r very hard to get that pretty blonde color.I like dark hair better myself.If I were u, I'd really think before I did it.I think u should try a Loreal red hightlights color.Go to Sally's & look at the high lift colors for dark hair only.It's in a red box , I think.Watch out for anything that says orange base,or gold.I say that because it will look coppery color after it fades.Keep in mind that red color fades the most.I think a blue base or a violet color base would be good for u.U will see the base color on the box.It's the undertone in the color.I hate copper.That would be gross.U should tell your husband about my idea & see what he says.Well, good luck!!!
