definently need to start out with streaks cuz then it wont be so drastic if you dont like it. they dont always bleach it before coloring it. if you do one of those kits at home then all you need is your hair and the kit. once you color your hair it isnt permanent. your hair will grow out and it will fade but if you go a darker color, its going to be harder going a light color if you want. usually they have shampoos for colored hair that make it so it lasts longer. ive been dying my hair since the 7th grade. ive had really blonde, reg. blonde, dirty blonde, red/pink, light brown, dark brown, black,and then back to blonde. when i went from black back to blonde they had to bleach my hair of all the colors. DO NOT DYE YOUR HAIR A LOT!!! i regret coloring my hair so many times but it was fun while it lasted. its a way to change things up, for sure. good luck!!! hope i helped

first of all it is not true that you will have to do it for the rest of your life. hair grows out and to avoid that cheap look of having the bottom 1/2 your hair colored you can color it back to your natural color. so if you get tired of the new color, you are not stuck with it.

highlights are pretty popular right now. not the thick ones, however. just a few thin ones to give you a fresh look.

to answer your question of whether or not they always bleach it... it depends on your hair color and what color you want to dye it to. if you have dark hair and want brown highlights they may bleach it a little just to bring your color to brown. there is a worse method: they bleach it until it's platinum and then color it. the second method is sometimes the only way (again, depends on what you want to do), but it's damaging to your hair.

whatever you do, I'm sure you'll look beautiful.

good luck!

it depends on your original color. sometimes, when your hair is dark, you must bleach , if you want a fair color. anyway, it does contain some substance which bleach it a little (peroxide);do not start with a color very different than your original color, you may be shocked, you may hate it, and then you must wait a lot until you can change it without risks.

do not wash your hair before you color it, color it 1 or 2 days later . if you are afraid that you might destroy your hair, use non permanent colors, or add a yolk when you mix it, before you put it on your hair. try a natural color , or streaks as you said.

in time, your hair color will become darker, after you color it very often, but not very dark, don't worry.

use quality colors, test it first on a little area of your skin, you might be allergic.

do not color your hair when you are on your period, if you are a woman/teenager, the color will not last too much!

and no, you don't have to color it the rest of your life, just wait it to grow and come back to the original color, you may help it by cutting it...when you choose a very different color from your natural color, it is a little annoying, indeed, to wait for it to grow, you look a little funny with 2 colors on your hair, but... well... it's not a tragedy. good luck!

do NOT bleach your hair at all, your hair will eventually start getting thinner....you should use regular hair dye and if you want it lighter, dye it once a month until you reach the color you want
