I need recomendations for coloring my hair myself from brown to blonde?

I'm naturally a dark blonde in color. However for seven years I'd been coloring my hair myself a light blonde and I loved it. However recently they discontinued the color I've always used. So i decided to color my hair brown for a change. Something I've always thought about doing. Now it's been about a year and I like my brown hair but want my light blonde hair back. I'd really like to do it myself but am worried about it turning a yellow/orange color. Has anyone ever done this themselves at home? If so what would you recommend? Like I said I want to do it myself and avoid paying the outrageous prices some hair dressers charge besides I have long hair.

Thanks so much for your help.

You're best bet is to go into a local beauty supply store, and ask an employee what she suggests.

Going back to blonde, after you have deposited a darker color on your hair is extremely difficult to do. Not to mention very damaging to your hair. You're going to have to bleach it out at least once, maybe even twice. (the more you have to bleach it, the more it weakens your hair)

I've been coloring my hair for years, and have succesfully achieved what you are trying to do. My suggestion is to buy some hair bleach, enough for however long your hair is. Buying extra is always a good idea, because the amount you need depends on how porous your hair is, along with how long it is. I'd also buy a CHI ultra-high lift blonde color of your choice.

Follow the instructions for the bleach first. (ie: Apply the bleach about an inch or two from the scalp through your hair leaving the last 2 inches un-bleached. Once the middle part of your hair with the bleach on it starts to get close to the color you desire, apply the bleach to the roots, and ends of your hair. These areas lighten faster.) It's usually not safe to leave bleach on your hair for longer than 45 minutes, especially if it is already damaged.

If the bleach alone did not reach as light of a color as you desire, I'd wait a few days and apply the CHI color. This specific color is the ONLY "haircolor" that will lift so far that I've found. Other than that bleach is the only thing that lifts the hair. Every other type of color deposits only. In the few days you wait, I suggest conditioning your hair, using hair masks, and leave-in conditioner every day. Follow the instructions on the box for the color when you decide to use it.

Also, you'd probably need a friend to help you do all of this.

This may not work for you, but it did for me. Like I said in the first place, go to a local beauty supply store and ask what they suggest. They will be able to see you face to face, and determine what would be best by examining your hair.

Good luck!

Edit: If your hair does turn out to have an orange or yellow tone, ask an employee at the beauty supply store what a good color or toner to neutralize the result would be. Example... If you have an orange tone, you'll need a color with a blue undertone to neutralize it. To figure this out you look at a color wheel with primary and secondary colors on it. Neutralizing colors are opposite of eachother on the wheel.

I would go to a salon but if you can't afford it then buy a hair bleaching kit. Follow the instructions but don't panic it looks orange as it is just going through the stages. Some people panic when they see the orange and wash it off. Leave it untill it is blonde usually about 40 minutes and then wash it off and condition it. Then use a toner in the colour you require.
