Hello girls,
I could really use you guys out there that know a thing or two about hair coloring. I have natural brown hair, and over the years I have died it from reds, to now black with my natural roots showing. I would like to go to a light brown ( I will attach a photo of me first then the desired hair color) I want your opinion on how I can get the results I want. Do you guys think I could do this SAFELY and correctly at home? or should I pay the money to get it done? Any tips or other info you think would help I'd greatly appreciate! Thank you so much for your time <3

That's several shades lighter than your color, so it'll be hard to get it at home, especially since your roots have grown. And since you've dyed your hair red, it would be really hard to get the red tone out. I would go get it done at a salon so you don't have two seperate brassy colors.

I agree with Jessica, I'd go to a salon.

Thats closer to blonde instead of brown so definitely go to a salon!

I agree with the other ladies, that's definitely more of a dark blonde shade apposed to brown so if that's the shade you want, go to a salon if you don't have any previous bleaching experience, etc. I've gone black to blonde before myself but it's definitely a process and if you aren't familiar with doing this yourself then a salon is the way to go. :)
