Hello all,

About a month or so ago I dyed my hair jet black permanent with Garnier. It is now faded to an ugly dull dark brown, and I want to go bleach blonde again.
I am definitley going to go to the salon to get my hair blonde (want to do blonde on top dark on bottom) but I wasn't sure if I should try to get some of this dark mess out of my hair first? I want my hair really really light, and I wasn't sure that if I used Loreal Colorzap before I went to the salon, if it would help me achieve lighter blonde color with less damage?
Basically I just want to know the best way to get the lightest possible blonde with the least amount of damage done to my hair as possible.. without spending a fortune at the salon.
Thanks all!

I really don't have any experience from blonde to dark colors but I know that black or basically any dark brown shades are not really harsh and doesnt't look feminine! I don't understand how brunettes proud of themselves... but I suggest you go to a professoinal and explain everything to heim/her and ask just do what you tell them to do. Don't let them convince you with any dark colors! Because all they want is see you confuse and then do a crappy job and rip you off!

From my experiences my hair ends up less damaged when I leave it up to a professional. I'm not by any means saying you don't know what you're doing but the products that my girl uses in the salon aren't as damaging to my hair.

Hiya... you could do what I'm doing and use the goldwell colour remover which I purchased on eBay,for £8 its not damaging and is safe... but from there I don't know I'm going to a pro on Tuesday to get mine from black to blonde :0) but ill use the goldwell system first so the bleach doesn't have to be used... I hope... we are maltesers huni... good luck hope this helps
