So I have naturally brown hair but I get it highlighted blonde at a salon, but each time it's $150 and that's a lot for every month! So I really want a cheaper way to color my hair and I hate my natural hair, I love being blonde. But my hair is already so damaged, It;s pretty long right now but it constantly breaks off and I have so many split ends so I know it's bad to color it! But I really want to just buy one of those boxes of color from the store and try that but if it totally messes it up than i'm skrewed. Right now it is lots of different colors of blonde and it's really pretty but I hate having dark roots, but if I dye it with a box will it make it all the same color? I'm honestly just desperate to get rid of my roots, and I have tried the root touch up stuff but it's just so hard! What should I do??

Why not just enjoy being yourself? I personally hate it when women color their hair because it screams, "I'm fake." It makes you look like you're trying too hard, too, which is never cool.

Regular old hydrogen peroxide is how lots of people add highlights all the time.
If you're doing all over highlights, you fill a spray bottle with 1/3 of peroxide and the rest with water, shake well and spray into your hair in the morning. It will lighten all your hair a little everyday.
To get rid of your roots, get a toothbrush and some peroxide and scrub at your roots With the peroxide. If you want all over bleaching, soak your hair in it... but keep an eye on it so you don't go too blonde.

If your used to getting it done professionaly than it's going to be an eye opener when you try to do it yourself from a box. I'm not saying the hair dye from the boxes are a bad idea but they probably wont turn out the color your used too. [ Launa's advice column | Ask Launa A Question ]
