My hair color is naturally blonde but for years I have been dying it. I've been through many hair crisis and I don't want it to happen again. Right now my hair is black and I have about an inch of roots coming in. My hair grows fast so I am tired of having to dye my roots so often. I want to dye my hair a dirty blonde and just let it grow out. The problem is I don't know how to do this.

I go to a proffessional but she doesn't work in a boutique or anything. We aren't sure what to do. I don't want to bleach my hair because I have done that 2 or 3 times before and it made my hair a wreck, a lot of it broke off. I was wondering if I were to use a color stripper if it would make my hair a light color so I could then dye it dirty blonde. Please help!

You should check w/ the stylist you go to if she has colofix. Have you been using permanent to go darker? If so, you would probably have to use colorfix maybe twice to strip the dark color. At this point ur hair wil probably turn orange, by then she should proceed w/ coloring it a dark asg blonde if it is orange to cancel it out. I hope this makes sense. You might need to use a higher volume developer too, just to prevent the new color from coming out too dark.

I'm sorry but did you read the first post? My hair isn't virgin hair.

With color stripper's the orangey colors are to be expected. next she was supposed to maybe bleach it a little and then use an ash based blonde color to match what ur original color was. I'm a little surprised that ur hairdresser is unsure of wht to do at this point! Anyway i hope this is of some help!
