Going from brunette to blonde can be a big change. Here are some steps you can follow to make the transition as smooth as possible:
1. Determine if you’ll dye your hair at home or go to a salon. An off-the-shelf dye will probably be far less expensive than a trip to the salon, so does it make sense to DIY your brunette to blonde hair transformation?
2. Consider your hair history. If you’ve dyed your hair before, especially if you’ve used box dye, it’s important to know that the color may not lift evenly.
3. Do a strand test. Before you commit to coloring your entire head of hair, do a strand test first.
4. Plan your calendar. Going from brunette to blonde is not a one-and-done process.
5. Reset your hair. Bleaching can be very damaging to your hair, so it’s important to take care of it before and after the process.
6. Touch-up as needed. Once you’ve gone blonde, you’ll need to touch up your roots every 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows.
