I tried to color my hair blonde today and when i washed it out and blow dryed it it wasnt the color i wanted it to be.. it turned out brown.. pretty much the same color i started with.. so if i color it again tomorrow will it fry it??

The reason that it didn't change much is that box color can only darken your hair, it really can't lighten it. If you try again tomorrow it will most likely fry. What I suggest is that you go see a cosmetologist to lighten your hair and if you ever want to darken it you can use boxed color but to lighten it I would go see a professional.

if you have dark hair, you have to bleach. you should wait a few weeks if you're going to bleach.

Try bleaching it. You might have to wait a few days. Just now try to deep condition it so it will be ok when you bleach it.

With dark hair, it's always better to have your hair done professionally when going to blonde. Otherwise, you end up with weird orange colors! You'll want to wait about 3 weeks before having it done (or trying again, which I don't recommend)

Ok. to get dark ash blond you need a pro.

If you really need to do it yourself you can come close. Here is what you need to know.

To get from brown to blond you go thru red and orange. You may need to lighten (strip) your hair 2 times to get past the reds. You may still end up with a redish blond shade. You will have to color over this and may not end up with the dark ash blond you want.

How long is your hair?

Mine is waist length and I need 5 boxs of lightener for the 1st time 5 boxs of lightener for the 2nd time and then you would need 5 boxs of color. The pro may be cheaper.

You will look on the box for the word lightener and it may say will lighten 3, 5 or 7 shades in one use. This is what you are looking for. If you can't find this in your store and you are in the USA go to sally's beauty supply and ask for the bleach it may still take 2 uses to get past the reds and oranges.

Warning!! This will damage your hair as will any lightening process. I would start on friday then use a ph balanced shampoo then lighten again sat. then use the shampoo. Then color on sunday. Good luck.
