Going lighter and changing tones are for the ambitious. Color has to be removed; usually this involves bleaching, and should be done at the salon. Brunettes, we don’t advise you trying to go blond at home. Unless you want green hair, we don’t recommend trying to go very light to dark, i.e. pale blonde to brunette.
We suggest erring on the side of caution and testing a small section of hair that isn’t visible. Apply color at the root and saturate the strand with color; you can even wrap it in foil to isolate it if you like. Leave in for 35 minutes, then rinse well, shampoo, and dry. If you like the results, go for it, and color your entire head. Change is fabulous!
For the most brilliant results, keep hair in the best condition you can. Deep condition, use protein-rich shampoos and conditioner like Madison Reed Nourishing, Color-Enhancing Hair Care System, and get a trim to ensure the best results for your color transition.
