I love my dark brown hair, but I want something different and I am thinking about lighting it up a little b/c if a darken it it will turn black, and I don't want that so I have a few ideas...
I think you should keep you natural hair color but do some lemon juice highlights to do this you take a lemon and squire the juice into a bowl then I don't think you want it that blonde so take a dirty blonde hair dye from any drug store and mix it in and take the hairs you want to highlight and let them sit in the juice for like five minutes I hope it works
But I would definitely put some dirty blonde dye from a drug store and mix it in or it will be bleach blonde and the dirty blonde dye will only cost like 5 bucks
don't do that! Seriously! for a start it wont work and you'll be adding chemicals to your hair needlessly. a blonde hair DYE won't lift your hair colour enough to get anywhere near blonde. certainly NOWHERE near the pics you've posted. to get that sort of lift and colour your gonna need bleach and as you don't know what your doing, I strongly advise not to attempt this yourself. take the pics to hair dresser, talk it through and they'll tell you what they'll need to do to achieve it and how much it'll cost. at best doing what the previous poster suggested, at best you'll end up with orange stripes.
