Alright, blondes this one's for you. No one really understands what it's like to be a blonde. No, seriously. Well...ok, fine, NO ONE takes us seriously but anyways...Here's the life story of most blondes: You had the most adorable baby-blonde hair. It darkened a bit when you where growing up, and now, it's almost brunette. Not that there's anything wrong with that, you end up saying to your brunette friends, but blonde was what you where BORN with. You want it back.
First off: Choosing your color.
Shopping around at CVS is fun, but you don't, nor will you ever look like a hair model. Hair models, disregard this. This isn't a dye job to get their hair, it's a dye job to MODIFY your hair. That being said, there are millions of women out there who have found the artificial hair color that fits them best. Power to them!! Love, jealous bitches everywhere else. So pick the color that is right for your skin, and undertones. If you have natural highlights, remember that you're bleaching them out. Depressing, but true. Lastly, I suggest Garnier Fructis. Any hair color of theirs really. I cannot recommend that brand highly enough.
Second: Don't do it alone, especially not your first time. You may think you've gotten all of the back but I'm famous for always forgetting one bit in the back, no matter what I'm doing, so don't make my mistakes. Wear something you could care less about, you COULD go nude, but...I'd leave that for when someone else ISN'T doing it for you. Also, it smells weird. Get used to it.
Aftermath: Condition WELL. If you dye frequently, use coconut oil on the bottoms of your hair and also I suggest Bedhead's oatmeal and honey shampoo (damage control?). Also, you can pick between color safe hair products or lightening products. The effect will fade, so if you like it after, say, a week: use the color safe products. If you like it as it comes out, sorry it'll still fade, but use lightening hair products.
Lastly: Avoid fake tanning if you've gone too bright--just...I've already warned you about fake tanning. Wait a while between dyes, as it can damage the hair if done repetitively. Your roots will be darker than your normal hair color in contrast to the blonde, but don't freak out. Only dye the ROOTS.
Blondes have more fun? Decide yourself.
Kisses
