    Is it OK to bleach/lighten dark hair with packet dye?
    I've been getting my hair bleached at the salon for about 6 months now and its like straw. I heard somewhere that you can lighten your hair using blonde packet dye as its better for your hair. Will this lighten my roots/hair as it is naturally dark? Or will it turn it orange?

    Everyone's hair is different, melsky. I can't say if you use 'blond packet dye' what every that is, that it will lighten your hair and roots they way you want it. It may turn orange, depending on how much red, auburn, brown, or whatever natural colour you have in your black hair.

    I would suggest letting your hair grow back naturally and leaving it, but that is the way I feel about healthy hair. Have all the bad stuff cut off and start from scratch.
