Curious about how I achieved my hair color? This is how I did it!
STEP 1: BLEACH IT!
First, I had to bleach my hair. I was going shades down my natural hair color, so it was a must to bleach it. I used L'oreal Quick Blue Powder Bleach. You can purchase all products mentioned here at Sally's Beauty Supply.
L'oreal Quick Blue Powder Bleach
Which developer did I use with the bleach?
I used Clairol Professional Soy 4 Plex Creme 30 Extra Lift.
The right one, gold/white bottle.
STEP 2: TONE IT!
After bleaching, I had to tone my hair to get rid of the brassiness. I used Wella Permanent Liquid Hair Toner in T18 Lightest Ash Blonde. Worked like a charm! Check out my blonde hair HERE <<< Coming soon. :)

Which developer did I use with the toner?
I used Ion Sensitive Scalp 20 Volume Developer.
The left one, purple bottle.
STEP 3: COLOR IT!
The next day, I colored my hair with L'oreal Preference Permanent Hair Color in 5.1 Medium Ash Brown. I loved the color. But hey, it faded after 2 (almost 3 weeks now). A friend of mine was like, your hair looks blonde or even amber. LOL. Like I mentioned before, it looks different depending on the lighting. I definitely have to re-do my hair after the roots grow out. These are the last two bottles I purchased. I bought 4 just in case. I'm going to use these up and probably look for another color. I don't mind playing around with other colors. ;)

The right one, gold/white bottle. Same as the bleach.
Thoughts on Hair Bleaching: I know some people freak out when it comes to bleaching their hair. I was one of them. It's not as bad as people make it out to be unless you're doing it frequently or back-to-back. I would say, go for it!
VERY IMPORTANT: If you're inexperienced, go to a professional to get it done. It's better to safe than sorry. When you do anything to your hair, remember to do deep conditioning treatments weekly & condition your hair daily. My hair still feels healthy and soft. Actually, even better than before. :)
