How blonde can I go?
  • MA needs your opinion...
    I've always dabbled and played around with hair color. Mostly seasonal, fall

    and winter i usually dye my hair black and the spring and summer i like to

    go lighter. But every year i have to get the black stripped out, bleach my

    hair, dye it and put highlights in it. All of that leaves my hair in this

    weird mushy state and is rather expensive. So this year, i haven't touch my

    hair. I put peroxide in it to see how light it could get...but it only

    turned my roots a subtle reddish-brown. Theres still some black towards the

    ends of my hair. I want to dye it a light color and i've always wanted to go

    blonde. So i'm wondering, how blonde can i go, before it starts to look

    ridiculous? Because i've seen people that dye their hair blonde, and it

    just doesn't look right with their skin tone. So can you help?
  • It is recommended that if you want to go more than 3 shades lighter or darker than your natural color to have it professionally done. You can really destroy your hair bleaching it out. I would stay close to your natural shade, or seek professional help.
