I blonde my own hair.

Hi Janet, I'm a hairdresser in real life, and am on the side of not colouring ones own hair at home. Us hairdressers make shockingly good money out of fixing ham fisted home colouring attempts!!
I take it from your sanguine tone, that your own blonding adventure went well?

Oh, I do want to be your friend, but I always have done my own coloring. I started with brown hair with a lot of grey and bought the lightest blonde I could find and put it on. It came out great, sort of demensional as red undertone from the brown was darker than the hairs that took lighter. For 4 yrs I just kept getting the lightest blonde. The day I decided to turn brown, the blonde was very light and I had a lot of split ends. I bought a good quality espresso brown. It came out looking ashy in areas and as it was all one length I had it cut in layers. I'm liking the brown again. I do have a favorite hairdresser for cuts and I tip well. Hope to see you post often.
