How can I get my highlighted brown hair to a white blonde?

I'm scared and clueless.





Have brown hair with highlights that have taken really well, but I want a massive change.





I love the colour of Lady Gaga's hair, and, though ashamed to admit it, want to copy.





But I want a pink pearlescent sheen on top...





How?!How can I get my highlighted brown hair to a white blonde?

you would need to bleach your hair to get it to go that light (your highlights would of been done with bleach)


and yes bleach is damaging to the hair but not as bad as the users above me are making out. as long as you educate yourself on good bleaching techniques and you know not to bleach too FAR i.e. too light then you should be fine.


for people with naturally dark hair it may need 2 full bleachouts in order to reach the pale yellow stage, if it is orange/ginger after the first bleaching then please don't do what most people do and panic, it is perfectly normal to go this colour, it is just a stage of the natural underlying pigment being stripped from the hairshafts. you just need to bleach again, which should not take long the 2nd time. make sure you ONLY bleach to the pale yellow stage: http://media.photobucket.com/image/shade鈥?/a>


once you have done that then it is time for toner. now ordinarily i would recommend that you use Born blonde toner in ';platinum blonde'; to get Lady GaGas shade (that is what mine is too) but as you stated you want a pink sheen to it then i have just the plan for you.


mix 50/50 of Goldwell topchic tube in 11P and 11V, this will tone to a nice platinum shade with a pearly pink sheen. ensure to mix 50/50 of each with 20vol peroxide if you want it to be permanent. http://www.directhairproducts.co.uk/Colo鈥?/a>
Bleach. The problem though is that if you over bleach it can really damage your hair. I suggest going to a salon and letting them know you want to go platinum blonde.





If you don't have a lot of money, you can bleach it yourself but you have to be careful since bleach can do a lot of damage.





This is a decent guide on how to bleach your hair.

Definitely get it done professionally. It will cost but in the end it will be worth it. It's going to be a lot of damage, and think about how often you're going to have to get it redone. Also-once you bleach your hair its a PAIN getting it back to any reasonably natural color without waiting for it to grow out.
dip your head in acid.








but in all honesty, get a bleach, then get pink dye and mix a sligth ammount of pink in with the dye. I bleached with a red tint... didn't look as good on a dude as I thought.
why dont you ask your stylist to bleach it?


ps dye your eyebrows to,i know you prob already knew that but nothing looks worse then 2 different colored eyebrows
ooomph you have to bleach your hair


or get a wig. Bleaching your hair


will cause a lot of damage to the follicle


and the pink will be pink dye
get it bleached and if it's not the color you wanted dye it until it is.





good luck! :)
