i have been dying my hair darker than its natural hair colour for about 7 years now.
recently, i decided to go slightly lighter within two shades of my natural brown with blonde highlights.
last week at the salon, we did two rounds of a bleaching shampoo and a bit of darker dye at the roots.
last night, i returned and we did the highlights.
it is VERY difficult to go lighter and not have it be brassy. it is slightly reddish - but i can live with that for now.
in the future id like to keep adding the highlights. its going to cut the brassiness.
next i want to buy a hair curler and maybe some hot rollers. i need to start experimenting for some important events i have coming up. unfortunately, i have no idea what to buy. i am so adverse to heat styling, i only do it maybe 3 times a year. i dont even use my hair dryer!
