Hey. My natural hair colour is medium/light blonde. last year i started getting a few light blonde streaks. 7 weeks ago i dyed my hair warm brown which said it would wash out in 6-8 weeks. It didnt come out fully so i was left with a light brown with a few blonde bits through it. I didnt like it. so my mum dyed it blonde but all that happened was it gave me a blonde GT stipe down my hair line. That same day we bought a permanent chocolate brown colour. I really still want to be a blonde again. We did a tester streak with bleach to see what it would turn out to if we streaked it. But im afraid it will be too dark.
Is it possible to dye my hair a light brown then streak it afterwards?? :confused:

"Color won't lighten color" is a phrase often heard in the industry. You tried to lighten dyed hair. You need to remove the current color (ColorFix, Color Oops, Color Zap) and then re-dye it the color you want.

After using color remover, your hair won't be a pleasant color, so don't panic. You may have to bleach it after using color remover if you want to get it fairly light. However, bleach doesn't work on artificial pigment the same as it does on natural pigment so that's why you need to remove the artificial pigment with color remover, first.
