    Hiya I have dark hair but hate it being all over dark so I put a few blond streaks in the front try putting some in before you try it all lighter.

    If you apply a permanent color on your hair, it will results in a red/orange shade. In order to go from black to light brown, minus the red/orange shade, you will need to lighten your hair and then apply the desired color. Please have the coloring process professionally done.
