I am new here and would really, really appreciate some help. I have naturally very dark brown hair, almost black that likes to pull red/orange very easily. It also is very difficult even with bleaching to get it light. I have, however, been lightening it to light blonde for the past 10 years. I get a light brown base color and thick highlights done almost on my entire head which is done with bleach then toner. My hair looks like the typical bleach blonde, not a lot of dimension or depth.

 

I want to test out going dark blonde. I want to do it in a way that even if I don't like it, I can go back to light blonde without damage or having to re-bleach my entire head. Is there any way at all that this can be done and if so, what products are recommended to go from light bleach blonde to a neutral dark blonde (not brown or too dark). I know even with semi and demi colors, they can be permanent if done on light hair. I am a bit hesitant and not sure if I'd like the darker blonde since I am so accustomed to the light hair so I want to know that if I don't like it, it is reversable to a great extent.

 

I haven't found a good colorist that I can go to and I don't reside in the US so my choices are really limited. I can buy whichever recommended products online though, so feel free to recommend.

 

Please do advise me if you can. Thank you so much.
