Don't want to spend hundreds at the salon for blonde hair? Well I've got the tutorial for you, especially if you're impatient like me.
I am not a professional, however, I've gotten all of this information from professionals and I've been implementing these tips at home for years.
I did this in two days.
There are three easy steps.
1. Stripping any previous dye out of your hair. (Unless you are coming from a natural color, if so you can skip step 1.) (~30 min.)
2. Bleaching your hair with 40 volume developer like I did, or if you are a little hesitant, you can go the safer route and use 30 volume. (If you are coming from a natural color, I would suggest using 30 volume and doing two separate bleachings, while using something like coconut oil or any other moisturizing treatment in between.) (~25 min.)
3. Toning with 20 volume developer using an ash blonde toner to cancel out brassiness. (~30 min.)
When you are finished, your hair will need some rehab, so I would suggest using something like Mane 'n Tail Hair Strengthener, coconut oil, or argan oil.
