The more gentle the composition you use, the more procedures will be required to achieve results. In order to wash out the color of the dye, you can use oils and products based on them, for example, “Burdock oil for hair 5 in 1” from the “Clean Line” brand with burdock extract and the “Beautiful Hair” complex.

Using oil will not quickly remove color, but it can serve as an excellent assistant in this, as well as strengthen hair and add shine to it.
From brunette to blonde if your hair is naturally dark
If you're a natural brunette, chances are your hair is quite dense and contains a lot of pigment that isn't that easy to remove.

Even when the color of your appearance, at first glance, does not match blond hair, there are ways to “make friends” with blond hair, dark eyes and dark skin. For example, keep your roots dark, like TV star Kim Kardashian, and pay more attention to your makeup, especially your skin tone.

From brunette to blonde - gradually or at once
On the way from dark color to blonde, it is better not to force things. Be prepared that lightening can take up to four stages. Don't worry if you end up with a shade that's close to copper the first time. After this, you need to observe the condition of your hair and, if necessary, take a break until the next lightening procedure.
When transitioning from brunette to blonde, try not to force things.
You may be able to find a color specialist who can do the entire procedure in one go. This is also acceptable with a highly professional approach, but discuss all stages of dyeing in advance and take into account the condition of your hair, read reviews about the salon and the hairdresser.
At home, you can also lighten your hair yourself, but try to proceed step by step, choosing the least aggressive oxidants.
dyed her hair blonde and turned yellow
Have you long dreamed of becoming a blonde, but never decided on radical dyeing? We talked to a professional stylist about how to dye your hair blonde without ruining your hair and still look your best.
Blondes have never gone out of style, but this summer, blonde hair is especially popular. Alas, it is much more difficult to dye your hair blonde correctly than, for example, brunette or redhead, because lightening is a labor-intensive process and requires special knowledge. We talked to a professional about all the intricacies and pitfalls of becoming a blond beauty. We hasten to share the details! There are only two options for dyeing blonde: when we work with natural color and with previously dyed hair. Let's figure it out in order!
You already have dyed hair and you decided to go blonde:
If the hair was previously dyed with any dye, it does not matter - permanent or tinting, then the hair contains an artificial pigment. This means that regrown roots with regular blonde dyeing will become lighter, and previously dyed hair will simply change the color pigment slightly, but the shade will not change significantly.
Simply put, we will not get a satisfactory result. There is a rule that every professional hairdresser knows: the dye does not lighten previously colored hair. What to do in this case?

A few important secrets:
- To dye previously dyed hair a light shade, we need to blond it! Blonding is the removal of natural and artificial pigment from hair. But you need to remember that along with the hair pigment, it also loses other components; it is destroyed. How much hair will be damaged during bleaching depends on the quality of the product, the correctness of the procedure and, of course, the exposure time. The last point is very important, but, alas, not every stylist will be able to determine how much time your hair needs. Therefore, contact only a proven professional!
- With any lightening, be it dye or blond, two pigments in our hair are destroyed: pheomelanin and trichosedirin (these are yellow and red pigments). It is difficult to completely remove them, and it is not always necessary. But it is precisely because of these pigments that the result sometimes turns out not the way we intended - yellow, yellow-orange, orange... To prevent this from happening, after bleaching you need to neutralize these two pigments - tint. As a professional, I will say that every colorist should know how and with what to deal with unwanted lightening background in each specific case.
- Let's talk a little more about toning - the final stage of the process of turning blonde. Toning is aimed at filling the hair with artificial pigment and caring components. A special preparation will close the hair cuticle, which opened after lightening, and will create a protective film around the hair for shine and radiance of color!
Just a dream - blonde, like Lara Stone

You have undyed hair and you decided to go blonde:
If your color is not naturally very dark, then you can work with ammonia or, as stylists correctly call it, permanent dye.
It works like this: you apply the dye, and the process of lightening and coloring occurs simultaneously, without those intricate steps that need to be taken when lightening previously colored hair. It all depends only on the correctness of the chosen color and on the brightening abilities of the dye.
I strongly do not recommend dyeing dark hair at home yourself - there is too much risk of ruining your hair and ending up with a completely different color than you dreamed of. Most often, dark hair is turned into blonde using the same scheme as dyed hair - we have already talked about this.
Important: After a complex dyeing procedure, it is recommended not to wash your hair for 1-2 days, since during this time all reactions stop, the ph level of the hair and scalp is normalized, the pigment is oxidized and fixed in the hair.
So, you've already become a blonde! What you need to know:
- Renewal coloring should take place every 2-3 weeks, maximum 4! You've become a blonde and you have to understand that walking around with wildly grown roots is not comme il faut.
- After lightening, you need especially careful hair care. The products you used before are no longer suitable, because care for a brunette and a blonde cannot be the same. The words: “I still have some mask and conditioner left there...” - forget it!
- Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to maintain color. After lightening, hair often looks dry and lifeless. To prevent this from happening to you, try to moisturize your hair as much as possible using special products and, if possible, avoid styling with a curling iron or straightening iron at least sometimes.
- Use hair masks with caution - they work deep in the hair structure and displace artificial pigment. Therefore, consult with a specialist which mask is best for bleached hair.
How to take care of your hair after going from brunette to blonde
We have talked more than once about shampoo with purple particles, which is needed to maintain a beautiful shade of blonde after toning and protect it from yellowness. But you can’t constantly wash your hair with it.
And as the main one, you should choose a shampoo for colored hair - for example, “Wine” from the “One Hundred Beauty Recipes” brand with an extract of dry wine and flower honey. The formula of this shampoo helps strengthen the strands and highlight the beauty of their color.
Damaged hair after transitioning from dark to blonde needs deep restoration and nutrition, which only masks can provide. For example, the “Color Shine” mask for colored hair from the “Clean Line” brand is capable of penetrating deep into the hair structure and restoring it along its entire length. This herbal decoction product can also be used instead of balm every time after washing your hair if your hair is severely damaged.

Safe lightening: stay away from hydrogen peroxide
All lightening agents, called safe, will help only fair-haired and light-blond girls become blondes. Sometimes they help hide gray hair. However, they will not work on brown-haired and dark-blond girls.
Shampoo and conditioner
Balms and shampoos for lightening do not contain ammonia, do not harm the hair as much and can be used even during pregnancy. Use them together, as they are ineffective individually. Used by blondes to easily change the shade and by light brown hair to create the effect of burnt hair.
Shampoo is used as usual. After washing it off, apply the balm for 10 - 15 minutes. Can dry out hair and washes off quickly.
- Acts quickly;
- Safe;
- It is inexpensive;
- No yellowness;
- Can be used with other products.
Tonic
Lightening toners are not suitable for coloring. They are only used to add color to bleached or light colored hair. Sometimes the effect also appears on light brown strands. They help remove yellowness from platinum blonde or make an ashy shade less gray. Tonic will not lighten dark hair.
Used as a brightening balm. It has the same positive and negative sides. But the tonic does not lighten the hair, but only slightly colors it. Therefore, there is no dryness.
Spray
This is a relatively new lightening product that is rapidly gaining popularity. It is used every other day, but not more than 4 times a week. Apply to damp but thoroughly towel-dried hair after washing. Spray all over hair or desired areas for sun-kissed highlights and shine.
Dry your hair with a hairdryer. The higher the temperature, the more noticeable the tonic effect. It gets worse after using straightening irons and curling irons. To enhance the effect, you can apply twice in a row. Each subsequent use makes the result more noticeable.
