Could the hairdressers dye my light brown hair a light blonde?

I have light brown hair, I would like it dyed a golden light blonde? Could the hairdressers do this in one step? Which would be the best option... highlights? Full head colour then highlights? ThanksCould the hairdressers dye my light brown hair a light blonde?
the simple answer to your question is NO, they can't ';dye'; your hair several shades lighter in one step, that is impossible. dyes or single process colours only have the strength to lift 2 levels each time and will in no way be able tolift brown hair to blonde.


you would need to have your hair bleached first and then toned to the golden shade you desire. this is a 2 step process but is easy enough to be done in one sitting.


as for the lady above me who believes a hi-lift tint is less damaging than bleach - not true. hi-lift tints use a really high level of peroxide to get the hair light enough but on MOST people with a lot of red undertones it will get you to the orange/ginger stage whereas bleach will get you to the yellow/pale yellow (blonde) stage.


as for highlights - highlights CANNOT get a full head of hair to blonde. you can get the effect with a full head of fine blonde highlights (if done correctly and not by a cowboy place like the girl above experienced) but generally highlights are not toned so you would not get the golden shade, they would just be yellowy.Could the hairdressers dye my light brown hair a light blonde?
be really really clear about what you want and how theyre going to do it....i went to a salon and said i wanted to be *totally blonde all over*, no red showing and deffinatly no stripey effect....they said a full head of highlights would do the trick, be totally blonde all over...how wrong they were! My hair is NOT blonde, its still red with a few blonde stripes which looks really ******** **** and i cant afford to get it fixed...so when you go into the salons make them be absolutly clear about the result, even take a picture and say i want the coverage exactly like this. good luck!
Yes, this could be achieved in one step. If you just want all over golden blonde hair, than the hair dresser could use a permanent blonde hair color that is a few shades lighter than what your hair is now. If you also want highlights, she could put the highlights in %26amp; put the golden blonde color on the rest of your hair (going around the foiled highlights) - it can be done at the same time.
Sure they could. It would probably be really cute. As far as one color or highlights that's up to you. Some people think a full head of highlights looks more natural because your natural hair color is mixed in. Other people think that highlights look bad because they can give a stripey sort of effect. Highlights will be quite a bit more expensive than an all over color but they will need to be done less often. However, just having your roots done on an all-over color is cheaper than getting the color the first time but highlights cost the same every time. I think you should look at some photos online and also look at your budget and how often you want to go to the hairdressers.





This is probably a full head of highlights:

It would probably cost around $150 every three months. So, around $600/year.





This is a full head color:

It would probably cost around $80 the first time you have it done and then around $60 every 6 weeks or so to get the roots done. So, around $520/year.
No, obviously not!! To dye means to make darker, and that's not at all what you want!!





What you wanted to say (but didn't) was that you wanted your hair lightened to a light golden blonde (whatever that means). That is a different procedure. You do not do this yourself, since you don't even know the right words to use!





You have a consultation first, as always, with a qualified professional hair colourist. Take in pics of the EXACT shade you want.. not something close to, almost, not as light... but exact. They will do a proper analysis of your hair and see if they can get that shade for you. They will be able to see if that is the right tone for you. They will tell you how they would get that shade, what it will cost, any after-care you need, about retouches. Ask how to get rid of it if you change your mind. When you have all the facts, then you can decide what to do. Remember: it's not cheap to be blonde!!
Yes if you want your hair one colour you could ask for a Hi-Lift tint. My hair is natural brown and I use Majiblond 900s plus Majirel 10.1 with 40 volume Oreor and it brings my hair up a really light blonde. You could also bleach your hair but its a lot harsher on your hair and can damage the condition of your hair
multi colors are more exspensive, but its up to you most hi lites depending where u go or who u see , where i work its 70 and up and color in between is extra 2o muti colors and how many tube they use and your hair type all factor in.





you have to call around and get some prices and ask for a free consultation.
If you have never dyed your hair before yes i would be able to do this in one step, probably just my brightest blonde dye would step you up to that colour because hair takes better when it has not been dyed before. xx

Ask to see the different shades of blondes they have and have whatever one you think would suit you best if you want a very light blonde its best to get it bleached.
Definately, especially if your hair isn't dyed brown. If you get highlights it wont make your hair blonde. You should get a full head color then highlights in a few months.
heavy highlights... bleach will be the only way to get it blonde and if you want it golden blonde it still has to be bleached.
I think you should get highlights because it would make your hair color stand out.
yes they can but i think yu should do highlights first dont do foil :|


do cap.
yeah
