Is it possible to DIY dye my black asain hair brown? Ive tried many
times before and it only looks a bit brown in the light  Ive almost give up... I think I should just do it at the salon... Asian girls who've dyed their hair brown... please share you experiences!  |

It is possible to make dense Asian black hair brown. But regular hair color you see on shelf in any consumer retail store isn't gonna cut it. I say you'll have to resort to bleach. I suggest you to try one of the bleaches either at Sally's or any store you frequent. At Sally's: 7th Stage liquid lightener (same thing as bleach) with 3 activator packettes and use it with 30 volume developer (creme). It will lift your hair up to gold-ish color (like a wedding band ring) or Clairol Maxi Blonde box at Target, Kmart, Walmart, you name it. Then use any of light brown semi-permanent or demi-permanent color for a nice brown but non-brassy brown. It always worked for me. ------------- http://www.fauxblondes.com - Faux Blondes International Beauty Ezine |
