Changing from brown to blonde hair

Brown to Blonde!

Changing from brown to blonde is something that all girls have on their to-do list, or at least hope they can. The process of dying hair from brown to blonde can be quite intimidating for most of us. The whole process can leave your hair in poor condition, dry and brittle. Despite this, many girls decide the benefits outweigh the damage. This guide is for you!

This article will provide a few handy tips which will help you ensure the process is as least damaging to your hair as possible.

Tips for dying your hair brown to blonde

Go to a good hairdresser who has experience in dying hair from brown to blonde, it is a difficult process and using the right tools and products can make a world of difference.
Going from brown to blonde is a slow gradual process. We don’t recommend stripping your hair colour as if not done correctly it can result in orange tones.
Keep your hair at a decent length to avoid breakage and snapping, the extra length will give you the flexibility to cut dry ends later in the process. If your hair is too short but you still want to go from brown hair to blonde hair, then high-quality blonde clip in hair extensions would be your best option. Click the above link to see the ZALA range of blonde clip in sets.

Kim Kardashian has naturally black hair, however, has successfully brightened her hair from brown to blonde whilst keeping it healthy

The process:

The process varies for every girl as your natural hair tone can make a big difference to the end result. Your initial colour also dictates how blonde you can or should go. If you are naturally a black to dark brown, then your lightest shade would want to be a dirty / honey blonde colour. Any lighter could result in too much damage to your natural hair and you may have to sacrifice length. If your hair is a lighter chestnut brown then you may be able to go a few shades blonder.

Changing from brown to blonde is an on-going expense and you will need to use fortnightly toners to remove brassy yellow tones and use a blue wash/rinse will also tone down the yellow for a more ashy look.

Christina is the opposite to Kim K, Naturally lighter hair allows her to keep a platinum look which remains healthy

Cutting your hair will stimulate growth and healthy cuticles, don’t be afraid to cut your hair where it is dead as this hair is dry and will snap anyway and help remove dirty shades.
