Here's my problem. I have very dingy, dishwater blonde hair that is nearly light brown. I had professional highlights a year ago but just a light job of them. I think they're mostly gone now. I had a perm May 2006. I was going to go to a pro and have my hair dyed this weekend for a big event, however, I was laid off from my job yesterday so clearly I cannot afford color! My hairdresser refuses to give me any suggestions for an over the counter product from Walmart, Sally's or otherwise. I'd be fine with a wash out but she said when you go lighter blonde, many times the washout's never fade and you wind up with a "line" as your hair grows out. Is there anything out there I could buy that won't totally screw up my hair? I would just like to go to a pretty, light blonde. I'm afraid of what sun-in would do to my hair with the old perm in it. I've never tried it before and I'm also worried that I won't know what shade to buy. I'm not really brunette and I'm not really blonde!

Peroxide is good in small doses, but it also tends to make the hair brittle and break easily. I would try a Sally's lightining product b/c most of the hairdressers that work there have used them and would be able to tell you a safe way to apply it. Lemon juice just dries out the scalp and then you get Dandruff really bad. If your going to use peroxide then dilude it by adding it to your shampoo and shampoo twice instead of once... that way it won't hurt your hair as bad.

poor a little peroxide on a comb and run it thru your hair daily, after 3-7 days it will lighten, continue until you get the gradual effect you want.

sun-in is too strong a formula. it turned my hair yellow one summer and then i grew my hair out with that line you talked about. but now i use lemon juice when i go out in the sun, and it is a really mild way to golden up dirty blonde hair (like yours and mine) good luck.

if you go to sally's, they usually have someone working in there who's pretty familiar with professional products. you can do it yourself...i did with products from sally. it turned out pretty good. people thought i had it professionally done. you can do highlights with a cap too. you'll need developer (30 volume for all over color works good) and color-they make developer and color that go together. get a squeeze bottle and mix them in there. use gloves. essentially, you'll be buying everything that comes in a box of color but professional quality and more of it.

"Lemon juice is a well-known hair lightener that is natural and effective, but the acid in lemon juice can be very hard on the skin and hair. If you want to lighten dishwater blonde hair with lemon juice, rinse the hair daily with a tablespoon of lemon juice mixed with a gallon of warm water until the desired color is achieved. Although this hair lightening method will take time, it is effective, and it isn閳ユ獩 as damaging as full-strength lemon juice or other hair lightening methods."
--tho i didnt answer it myself... atleast i tried
i also think the peroxide tip is helpful, i had the same hair type when i was younger
i combed in peroxide and rinsed 10-30 minute later and it got drastically lighter
also used lemon juice and it worked... but i used straight lemon juice not mixed with water and slept on it... repeating the process till my hair was lightenend enough...
dont know how it'll work on permed hair...
but it can't hurt to try
and the 'line' is roots

Chicpower, hair color and a perm are both chemical processes on your hair. If your hair is long then that is another issue. The perm has broken down your hair. If it is damages then hot oil treatments are needed before you attempt to add color. Loreal colors will lighten and in most cases look natural. The new growth of hair will take the color different than the old hair that had color before then the chemical action of a perm in May. The new growth will take the color different than the old hair. Hair spray and gels can make you hair look dry and dull. The pretty hair is the hair that shines.
