    Hi all hope someone out there can help!! I have naturally dark brown hair but deperately want to go blonde!! Before anyone starts going on about getting it by having highlights I'll stop you now. Last year I tried that but it just p*ssed me off never getting to the blonde I really wanted!!!

    So I have been doing some research and I have seen that I could get my hair bleeched then get a blonde dye over the bleech to achieve the colour I want. Basically what I would like to know is has anyone done this and what experiences they have had!!

    I will be getting it done in a hairdressers but just wanted to see what others out there got done!!

    Cheers :)

    Getting your hair bleached then dyed is going to make it really bright and it can sometimes after a few washes go a bit yellow looking. Also if you have dark eyebrows with really bright blonde hair can look a bit silly although you could dye your eyebrows as well but thats a bit extreme.

    I was blonde for a while I had highlights but they were to hard to keep. If you are going to to go all blonde just make sure you go to a really good hairdresser and good luck!

    It's definitely possible but before you take the plunge you need to know how much the maintenance will cost. A full tint needs to be retouched much more often than highlights, so if you go from dark brown to blonde you'll be looking at having your roots done every 4 weeks.
    Make sure you go to a very good salon, a cheap job will look awful. (Please don't tint your eyebrows, it looks very dodgy).

    Bleach is very damaging on your hair, (which is why people like Sarah Harding ended up with short hair I reckon) so bear that in mind when you consider the maintenance part. Repeated dying will make your hair weak and brittle. I get highlights, not all over colour and even so I ended up having to not dye my hair for a year to get the condition back. But good luck with it, enjoy bein a blonde.:)
