It's a dark brown, but I want it to be a lighter shade. I don't want to resort to coloring my hair at all, so is there a way I can change my hair color? I've heard of bleaching the roots.. :confused:

I will need you to answer a couple of questions in order to assist you accurately. Is dark brown your natural color? What is your desired hair color?

It was black, then after a few years, it turned to dark brown. O_o

So I guess dark brown is my natural. I want a lighter shade of brown is all.

If you want to go from dark brown to brown, you will need to color your hair. You can select your desired hair color and use it with a 20-volume peroxide developer in equal parts to lift the color a couple of shades lighter. Using a high-lift color or single process color on dark brown can pull red tones. So, I recommend using a green based (cool) ash hair color to avoid reddish tones in your hair. Ash tones work best on dark hair. You will find these products at a beauty supply store. Be sure to let someone that's experience in hair coloring to help you apply the color application.
