Dying hair lighter


Question Posted Sunday May 25 2008, 2:00 pm

My hair is naturally dark brown, almost black, and over the summer last year, I dyed it to a light brown. When fall came, I dyed it back to dark brown and i kept it that way until it started to get hotter outside. I like making my hair lighter when the sun comes out. But when spring came, I tried to dye it lighter again and it stayed the same. Just last week, I tried another time and still no change. if anything, it got darker. I used the right color hair dye and everything but nothing is working.

i'm really good with dying hair so i don't want to spend a bunch of money at hair salons for them to do it but why isn't it changing? is there any way I can dye it light without having to bleach it?

The reason why it won't go any lighter is that color doesn't lift color, which means that when you dye your hair dark and you want it lighter, it won't get lighter with color. In order to achieve the results you want it, you're gonna have to use bleach, which I highly recommend that you get it done with by a hairdresser. I hope I helped though! : )

you might be able to get a blonde BRIGHT blonde and dye it two or 3 times then try putting the light brown it. thats what i had to do since my skin is to sensitive for the bleach

I've had a similar experience. Generally when you dye your hair darker, its really hard to get the color out and dying it lighter usually doesn't work. You can wait for it to grow out so that your natural hair color grows back, but that may take too long. Other than that your only option is probably bleaching it.
