any chemical process hurts the hair. however you can safely colour your hair if you use proper products (i.e hairdresser grade products) OR you go to a reputable salon. I have been colouring my hair for years, and a wide range of colours too. black to bleach blond, red and brown. right now it's bleach blond and fuschia. you can treat your hair for dryness and chemical processing as well.

i say go for it. remember the lighter you go the more often you have to colour it due to roots showing through. but you shouldn't colour your hair more often than every 6 weeks.

it wont make your hair ugly, that's called bad styling. just get a good conditioner and good products to use on your hair (same goes if you dont colour it too, drug store brand products do the same as chemical processing, dry out your hair as well as leaving a build up on your hair)

you're not going black to blond so it's not going to be a huge change. you can easily go back to natural. just ask your hairdresser what colour combination you are (8 or 9 sounds like) so that you can easily go back to your natural colour if you hate the blonder look!

have fun! and remember it's only hair. it grows back!

LOL

p.s to lostintranslation: it's not always about what society is telling us to do it can also be about what you like and makes you feel good. i dont think having pink hair is making me look more like a playboy bunny, but then again i dont really look at them hahahahaha

YES! It ruins the strength of the hair and vivacity. Also provides damage down the line.

Well I have naturally blonde hair and I dyed it light blonde for a while. It came out fine, just don't bleach it if you can help it, that will really fry your hair. Bleaching is murder to get out, you have to grow it out!

If you bleach, any colour you put over that will never be the exact shade and when your hair grows out, you'll get like a band of darker hair and when you dye over that.. it looks worse.

Go ahead though. Try semi-perm firstly.

Any form of colour you add to your hair does damage it to some extent, yes. But if this is your first time dying it, it won't do that much to your hair. People who dye their hair often are the ones who do the damage. If too much strong dye is too often, hair can even bein to fall out because it gets so damaged!

Hena is a more natural type of dye and is less harsh than some of the more chemical based products out there.

Think very carefully before you dye your hair as it's basically impossible to get your natural colour back unless you grow it out.

To help keep your hair in good condition, use a shampoo and conditioner made for coloured/treated hair. This will help lock in moisture and keep your hair soft and healthy.

Have fun with dying your hair but just remember, keep it healthy :)

Your hair will become chemically damaged. There technically is no "good" hair lightener.

I will not try to do my own hair, I have learned from my friends mistakes who turned her hair a multitude of colors when she tried it on her own.

Good luck!

dying your hair once isnt going to hurt it...it hurts people who constantly dye their hair and use heat on it alot such as; hair dryers, straightners, curling irons....if you go drastically from light to dark or vice versa it can weaken your hair.... trust me, ive been dying my hair a least 4 times a year for the last 7 years...my hair is not in the best shape, but its not ruined

just make sure you keep it conditoned and keep the heat off of it...

It depends on how you care for your hair. You can dye your hair all the time, and as long as you take hte proper steps to keep it healthy then you will be fine.

Make sure that after you color your hair, you buy a protein for your hair. Biolage has alot of nice sprays for the hair , leave in conditioners that are good for that sort of thing. Be prepared to spend at least $15 a bottle though.

It depends on your hair also, i bleached the crap out of my hair when i was a teenager, and now im in my mid 20's and my hair is thinning out now. I have tried to reverse the damage by taking care of my hair.

i'm not trying to scare you, but just look into it, if your hair is healthy and thick then you shouldnt have a problem with it. IF you already have thin hair and its fragile, then i wouldn't do it.

Don't do it, its smelly chemicals! Your money can be spent better elsewhere. Just thank God for the way he made your hair color. (Plus roots always look bad sticking out!)

Don't buy into the American marketing campaign that makes women feel like they need to look like a playboy bunny- love who you are NATURALLY!

No, it will not ruin your hair. If you process it continuously, yes it will get dried out, fried, and possibly frizzy. But if you hair now is completely natural, and you simply lighten it with haircolor, it will be fine. Promise (=

Don't listen to the fools who say "yes, it will be ugly". That's not true at all. I colored my hair repeatedly in Cosmetology school, and afterwards. I completely bleached the top of it, as well. It was in bad shape at the time because all of the processing, and double processing as well. But now, it's fine.
