    I want my hair lighter
    [F]I just tried to lighten my hair at home. I used revlon colorsilk in dark blonde. I have dark brown hair. I still want it a little lighter. Is it OK to try again today with a lighter shade in the same brand to get my hair to lighter more?:confused:

    Sweetie, you can't go lighter with a permanent hair color if your hair is dark. You will need to use some kind of hair lightening product. If your hair is dark and want to go light brown or dark blonde, you have to pre-lighten your hair a level lighter than the color you want and then apply the desired color. A high light color can be used to lift hair the color a few shades, but sometimes it could produce unwanted results. Please consider going to a salon.
