Changing from Brunette to Blonde
If you are going to lighten your hair any more than three shades you are going to need bleach. The natural pigment from your hair is removed by the hydrogen peroxide in bleach. Bleach is both permanent and damaging to your hair. You will need to maintain the color by touching up the roots every six to eight weeks. You should only apply the bleach to your roots when maintaining your color otherwise you will damage and dry out your already lightened hair. You should do a deep condition at least once a week to reduce the amount of damage to the ends of your hair.
Changing from Blonde to Brunette
When you are going from blond to brunette you should consider a reddish brown color. Light browns cause the hair to become gray in tone and flat while red acts as a filler. The red color will also add depth to your hair. When going to a dark color always remember to maintain your re-growth, because if you don’t the light blonde roots will give the top of the hair a thin appearance. You should touch up your roots every four to six weeks. You should consider a color enhancing shampoo and condition to prevent your hair from fading over time.
