YOU CAN NOT DIE IT FROM DARK TO LIGHT!!!! it just wont work. you have to decolorize it. beleive me ive had to do it before. i suggest you get it professionaly done if you dont want to mess your hair up more

definitly get it professionaly done. they'll be able to get the exact color you want. trust me, i've been dying my hair for 8 years. doing it at home is easy and sometimes it works out well; but if not, professionaly is the way to go.

Yes, you should get it professionally done. You might want to make your eyebrows slightly lighter too, because otherwise they'll overpower your hair, and will be the first thing people see when they look at you.

If you actually care about the health and appearance of your hair, then get it done by a professional.

that's one problem with having darker hair, hair dyes don't usually work as well without bleaching it out first, which is something i'm not willing to do, even if it is for kick-ass red or cyan-blue streaks for a movie event or for a show. :P
this may sound weird, but if you want highlights and you don't want to spend a lot of money on salon service, try the old trick of streaking lemon juice through your hair and sitting out in the sun. it takes a while longer and it can get sticky if you're not careful, but it usually works really well to lighten up and highlight your hair. the lemon idea is usually for the blondes. it's better if you use fresh lemons, and, whenever you're out for a sunny day and you won't mind your hair looking a little stringy, especially right after you get out of the pool (this would probably be the perfect time), squeeze the lemon juice onto your hair, no combing. later, when you wash your hair, give a little extra conditioning. or if you don't like the idea of squeezing lemons on your head, try this: after you wash and condition your hair as normal, rinse it with a mixture of lemon juice and a little bit of water, then go relax in the sun after your shower.
olive oil is another good one. though it is greasier and may take a few washes to completely clean off, it highlights well and keeps your hair moisturised.
chamomile tea is great for the brunettes. same as the lemon rinse, wash and condition your hair as normal and rinse your hair with a cup of cooled chamomile tea, then it's outside in the sun for some rest and relaxation.
if you don't want to go hippie, and you still don't want to spend money at a salon, go to a drugstore like walgreens in the hair products and look for spray-on hair lighteners. but chances are, that a lot of those will have chamomile, lemon, and olive oil as some of their main ingredients.
hope this helped. thanks to some research i did to help me answer this correctly, i found a really good homemade coffee hair product. ^_^ good luck!

Your best bet would be to get it professionaly done. But be careful if you do it to much then your hair will start to fall out or worse. And since youve tried it and its not working get it done because they know exactly wut their doing you may be doing something wrong
