Is your hair dyed dark brown, or is your hair totally untreated right now? If your hair is all natural, take a look at L'Oreal's hi-lift browns (Feria). I haven't used this product, but I've heard good things about it. It's supposed to be able to lift brown hair about 3 levels without revealing a lot of warmth. Check out www.lorealparis.com. They also have a toll-free consumer question line. Someone there should be able to give you some guidance. If your hair is dyed dark brown, you will have to remove the colour (with a hair colour remover like Color Fix) before dying it light brown. ------------- My user name is WAY too long.

When hair is lightened it reveals the underlying pigment. The levels of lightening reveal red, then orange, yellow, pale yellow, white. I assume that Feria Hi-Lift Browns contain an ash tone to balance the orange that would be revealed when you lighten dark hair 3 levels. Everyone's hair is different, though. Do a test strand first to make sure you get the colour you want. I know it's a pain -- but it's worth it. Better safe than sorry. If your test strand looks red, post another message and we'll take it from there. Good luck. ------------- My user name is WAY too long. Just call me Juliana. :-) |

No problem. One more thing. I think Feria Coolest Brown would be the best one for you to try -- the cooler the colour, the less red or orange. ------------- My user name is WAY too long. Just call me Juliana. :-) |
