Ok i have naturally brown hair, but i have it highlighted blonde. I like it so much that i want to dye my hair blonde to save some money. But i was told that i could not do that because of my natural hair color. I was told that if i wanted to do that then i would have to bleach my hair first but that seems like it will ruin my hair and make it platnum and i just want to dye my hair blonde, can i??
help i wanna dye my hair blonde!

depends on your base color -- it may end up looking red or orange. that may be why you were told that you would have to bleach it first.

It depends on what shade of blonde you want. There are now high lift tints that will lighten brown hair dramatically. You can`t make brown hair platinum, but you can get it to be a nice honey or golden blonde

Hey Safoxygrl!

Just my opinion... but keep in mind that highlights might actually be more low maintenance that all-over blonde. Even if you can do it with one process (which, like the other posters have mentioned, might bring out the red tones in your hair), you`re still processing your whole head, instead of only certain strands.

And, once you`ve done it, then you`ll get the dreaded roots. Trust me, I only changed my colour a shade, and I could still see the roots. And, roots = root job, = more $$. Highlights can go a bit longer without touch ups.

If you`re serious about the blonde, I would go and see a professional, maybe just for a consultation, to find out what processes they would have to do, determine the damage based on the condition of your hair, and find out the commitment involved. You`d hate to damage your hair, since once it`s done, it can`t be undone.

Best of luck to ya
