    Posted: 19 December 2012 at 3:31pm
Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone knows what I should do.

Im naturally dark blonde/light brown sort of colour. My hair is dyed medium brown.

I want to go back to being a dark blonde colour. I want to attempt to do this myself.

Do I need to strip out the existing colour in my hair, then colour with a blonde?

Or is there any product that can lighten over my existing dye? From what Ive researched probably not aye- as dyed hair can't be lightened without stripping or bleaching is that right?

Any advice on how to go about this/products to use appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm a full time mum but have been hairdressing for 10 years. If I had a client in your situation I would want to know how many times they have coloured their hair and what colours. If there is a lot of colour build upthen it will probably need to be stripped out. Or if you don't mind going lighter gradually, you could just have your hair foiled a few times. I do suggest going to a salon to get any of these done. Also suggest not doing thhis at home

Yeah unless it's just a shade down I'd go to the hair dresser & get foils. Too much could go wrong lol

I'd go and get it done if wanting to go lighter, especially over existing colours. 
Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

If there are hairdressing colleges around where you live, you could go to them or hairdressing at polytech. As it gives them practice and it saves you money and there is always a tutor around to ensure it's done properly.

That way, it gets done properly and saves you money if you don't want to spend over $100 at the hairdresser.
