    Hello Sam,

    Is your current hair color natural or is it colored?

    Hello again,

    If I were you, because it is virgin (natural) hair color, I would have it done at a salon... I know it will cost you more money, but trust me, the results will be much better!

    If you have a stylist do it for you, not only will he/she know how to formulate a great color for you, but color placement will be even throughout, not to mention, if its highlights, then folis will be required. Try doing foils yourself, it's hard...

    Your hair is natural, so the stylist could just use a lighter color with developer, or the stylist could use bleach, depending on how light you want to go.
